We received a free dining pin code. Debating taking a spontaneous Jan trip. Do you agree that this a good deal?

we are definitely using the free dining package. we're staying in a moderate resort (port orleans - french quarters) so we will automatically get the dining plus package.
there are three of us - i worked out the math and it is definitely worth it for us because we enjoy the character dining experience and some of the other restaurants. for us, we would be saving a little over 1K for sure!

What is teh free dinning pin code as we are about to book for teh last week in Jan?
Awesome savings if it at $1K. That's all it would take to get us to book a last minute trip! I say go for it and enjoy life.
Pin codes are sent out randomly (or kind of) and are for room discounts, FD or other discounts. They can only be used by the individual assigned the code. Some believe if you go into the site and save a vacation or two that you have a good chance to get one. We have done that, ordered the CD and had several inquiries and never got a code. We go a lot so maybe they they figure they already get my $$.
Could it work to just call and ask if the CM can actually throw you a code? I mean, why does one get a code over another, is it visits to the park, site, etc?

I want a pin code
Does anybody have any suggestions, My last trip to Diisney I took my grandaughters. I had a vacation video sent to them. Now when I get my pin offer it is emailed me with their name and address. So I called Disney travel for them to change it from a 7 & 8 y/o's name and address to mine. They really helped,they could not put my name on it so he just cancelled the emailing!!!!! So I don't get any offers at all now. Wow, that's real service .
i am not positively sure but it looks like they are offering it to the public with min. stay and on select dates.
i am not allowed to post links yet but if you go to the disneyworld site and at the bottom click on Specials than on the Play! Stay! and Dine! link, you will see this:
if you don't want to stay at a moderate resort but want the dining plus package (which has the 1 table service per day), you can still stay at the value added resort and pay for an upgrade. for us, a family of 3, it worked out to be just under $300. but then staying at the port orleans resort for the week, was also about $300 more. so for us, it worked out that we would get more if we just went with the moderate resort.
but if you do go with the dining plus package, make sure you make reservations first before booking. a lot of the really popular restaurants are now booked for that time of the year. i actually started making reservations late this summer on the weeks i assumed we would be going (had to wait for my husband - firefighter - to see what dates he could get off and didn't know until early november).
i went back to see if i could make some changes - wanted to try the new restaurant in MK - Be Our Guest - but it is completely booked.
and you potentially can save more if you end up selecting more character dining or fine dining options. that's what we did in order to save around 1K.
don't think you need one anymore - read my above post. it should guide you to a link on DW's site for what appears to now be a dining plan offer for everyone.
i think the pincode was just to give returning customers first dibs on dates. they're now selling off dates where there's still available space for the dining plan.
wow - that's surprising! did you check out the special offers, though?

it seems like they are offering to the public. but also with whatever dates are now available. maybe it can still match your schedule?
i would also definitely call them back and explain your situation (or email in about your situation).
good luck!
It's been rumored that S/P/D will be the new dining discount available for the public and Free Dining will only be available via pin offer.
really??? well, that would suck. will hope they keep the free dining promo at least during the fall. i have a friend who's hoping to go then, with her family.
