Anyone get free dining during blackout dates: pin code or otherwise?

[shystalips]

Just hoping against hope that someone has been lucky enough to get a pin code or something to get free dining during these blackout dates. If anyone has been lucky enough please post your details and dates. I need a glimmer of hope.

I know it's not the same, but my dates are during a blackout week. Jan 14-21, 2012. My first day is the last day of the previous weeks free dining, so almost my whole free dining trip is during a blackout period.

I'm traveling nov 7-14th POFQ. Free dining ends nov 5. Couldn't change because of airfare penalties. Thank you for all of the responses. Here's to hope for all of us alienated misfits

Wish I could help! I just spent the last 4 hours analyzing the possibility of moving us out of our current reservation away from the current black out dates. This process included moving ADR's, moving park around based on crowd levels, reviewing EMH and associated events to only be disappointed since none of my current ADR's are remotely close to being available if I attempt to relocate them!

In my personal opinion the negative feedback created by isolating unique dates on a large scale has to be reviewed. We have been going to Disney every year for the past 3 years and I'm seriously considering moving my funds elsewhere. If you are to include a discount simply have a start and end date, at least this way the paying customer does not feel isolated or targeted.

We have always stayed in a Deluxe Resort I'm only arguing the principal behind creating a discount for periods that currently "had" low attendance or bookings.

Sorry everyone I'm just a little furstrated at the moment.. I'm sure many of you understand.

If you check in on the 14th, free dining will apply to your entire trip. I converted several clients yesterday(I am a travel agent) whose check-in date is the last day of a free dining week (11/5, 2/18) and free dining was applied to the whole stay!

We were scheduled for 10/13-10/17. My birthday is 10/15 so I was super excited about celebrating in WDW. When Free Dining was announced I changed our dates to 10/8-10/12. But after reading about the crowds on Columbus Day weekend I having second thoughts. What is the earliest in late October that I could book free dining?

I know. That's what I was saying.
