A Warning of Sorts

how long after making reservation does this arrive?

and they send out emails, even when you tell them not to. I upgraded our trip to CL as a birthday surprise... that lasted about 24 hours before DH found out about it.

Just for reference (since I don't know your travel details), we're staying on property and arriving mid June. I made our reservation through a Disney TA last September but didn't link it to my MDE account until mid-March. Shortly after I linked it I received the mailer pictured in the original post of this thread. I don't know if it was the registration that triggered that or just coincidence as we were at about 3 months out from our arrival date at that point. I received the FP+ mailer at about 70 days out (10 days before I could make those reservations). The final paperwork (coupons, luggage tags, etc) arrived last week at about the 21 day mark but I know those came directly from my TA and she purposely mailed them on the weekend so they would arrive on a week day. I never received a magnet or a flash drive -- our "important dates" were listed on the back cover of the original mailer. Hope that helps!

Thanks! I have 39 days till my vacation and did not receive anything and have all my reservations linked to my MDE account.

I totally surprised my wife on a trip, but went thru Kerry at D/U, used my work email and address and pulled it off easily.

I could never surprise my family
I am a Disney compulsive planner months in advance
They would see my happy face everyday and question it - plus playing Disney music constantly would give your vacation plans away.

Or it is junk mail. Asking Disney for all sorts of freebies? Wow.

Whowhoawhoa - who's asking for freebies???

Isn't that what "Bring on the swag" means?

We are booked for 4th of July. My envelope came yesterday. I think dd did not see it. It says my bands will mail in 4 days from today if that helps.

Wow - you got that, even in the context of the post? No, it meant might as well send the fridge magnets etc that the post that I quoted was talking about.

Wow.

I always "surprise" my wife with the yearly DVD. This year I didn't request a DVD until after I had booked our September (2015) trip. She got the mail and the pamphlet was in it. She asked me if we were going this year because they were reminding us about doing the fastpasses.. She didn't catch on that it was because I had already booked the trip. I kinda played along with it until early May when she logged on to her account and saw the trip was already planned and paid for (we only have a joint savings account with separate checking accounts). Needless to say she was excited and then found the pamphlet again (read it in its entirety) and realized that it had the dates for the 180+10, FP+, and online check-in/payoff the trip dates on it.

She did just receive her 2015 Disney Planning DVD in the mail yesterday. She may have even blushed a little..
