As you know, many people have received PIN codes since early May that have covered dates of: August 25- October 2, October 18-October 31, November 11-November 23, November 30-December 4, and December 15-22. While many have taken advantage of this, many more wonder when or if this is going public.
Sources tell me that an extension of the free dining promotion past the September dates could be announced as early as July. Most, if not all, of these date ranges from the PIN codes should be included, depending on availability and how well the PIN code offers sell.
Remember that the free dining offer for September expires on July 31st, and in the past, October-December offers have been released as late as August 3. While still too early to nail down an exact date, things are starting to come a bit more into focus.
These sources are quite good, and the same ones I got the September Free Dining, as well as the August-September Room Only Discounts that nobody else on the Dis even mentioned (and brought lots of relief to many late-August travelers as well).
Let me also make a word of caution concerning leaks.
1. These promo leaks, while helpful on the nerves, don't actually get anyone a deal any sooner. In the end, you still have to call in on the day it's released and wait on hold right along with people who just found out that very morning. So again, the leaks sure do settle the nerves, but they don't get anyone any special privileges, nor do they get you in the door any quicker.
2. I never ever advise anyone to make any non-refundable plans based on a leak. To date, there has been NO LEAK that hasn't had mistakes. Take for example the September free dining, where the Little Mermaid rooms were said to be included...they were not. Similar mistakes have happened with EVERY leak in the past, from misquoted date ranges, to rooms said to be included, but were not. Which is why I always say, don't bet the farm until the announcement is official.
I will keep everyone updated as things become more and more clear. I will tell any information I receive, as I receive it, even if it's bits and pieces of partial information. I have no plans of making anyone wait this out, not even for a minute....because I know how nerve racking this is for everyone.
As June progresses, we'll hear more...in the meantime, you may very well receive that elusive PIN code, as they are still being sent out.
Good vibes everyone!!!
