Questions.. I got a Pin for Free Disney Dining plan - A delicious resort offer...

It will be me, my wife, and my 3 year old daughter......

1. If ft. wilderness included in this?

2. Says family of 4, I have a family of 3... can i still use it?

3. Are those prices shown include tickets in the price?

4. I am thinking late November, early December... how are the crowds then? When do the Christmas decorations start going up?

Here is the email:

It includes many resorts...of all values.

For example: It includes WL (I already called) but it only includes the Courtyard View. The standard room and the woodsview room is NOT available during the Nov. time I requested. To make a long story short....this is a PIN for only FREE DINING. The room is rack rate and so are the tickets. I agree that the $160 per day (for a family of 4) is great...but I've seen better ways to save when there are room only discounts. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for. Good Luck!

Hoping for some pixie dust for some type of PIN so we can go back in June 2010

I am a little confused....I have a trip planned in Nov. '09 and have heard about this pin number....the email you received was it addressed to you in particular or was it a typical disney offer to all people? I booked through AAA and wondering if it is possible for me to get offer?

All resorts I believe are included, depending on availability. You need to call the reservation number at the bottom of the email to find out if the dates you want are available at your choice of resort.

2. Says family of 4, I have a family of 3... can i still use it?

What's shown is just an example. It can be for more or less people.

3. Are those prices shown include tickets in the price?

yes

4. I am thinking late November, early December... how are the crowds then? When do the Christmas decorations start going up?

I think the busier times in there would be over Thanksgiving week (insanely busy), during Pop Warner week and during the taping of the annual parade. Others here can tell you the dates of these better than I can as I've never gone this time of year. Decorations go up before Thanksgiving though I have no idea what actual dates.
Note that for a family like yours going to a Deluxe resort, if you can get a decent room discount, you'll likely end up with a cheaper price. Compare prices on any future offers that come out to see if you can save even more money.
