APRIL 2011 - Code Watch!!! Join the PARTY!!

[guarn3md]

I am waiting to hear of any AP codes for April - however I know that it may not happen for my trip. We are going two nights after our Dream cruise - 4/21 - 4/23! We are booked at the WL club level. I spoke with my AAA TA today and she told me that she was going to leave my reservation as a AAA room only and that when she spoke with someone at Disney today they told her to check back end of November for the AP rates! Don't know if this confirms what everyone is thinking...but I am a little hopeful for an AP discount. I looked at the historical information and it looks like there was a discount at Easter last year. Just hoping that I get the info quick enought that I can have the code applied to my WL room.
Waiting...

Just got off the phone and CM said she is having difficulty applying any codes from Mar4- May26. Personally, I thought that was a really long space of time that no discount was coming up... But the military discount still does not work the end of April, despite the ads on several sites saying the only blackout dates are April 17-20.

CM did say that AP discounts usually come out quarterly and to check back the end of Nov. But I am guessing the discounts coming out then won't go all the way until the end of April.

Last year and 2 years ago we had a discount Easter week. It is a terrible time to go crowdwise, but makes for a nice trip before summer for us teachers.

That is exactly what I did...and got 40% off room for 4/14th,15th, & 16th...Had I not called and asked I would never have known.

No luck for me. It's interesting to listen to the CSR searching, though - she was saying "let's see what's in your box" and checking different things. I would love to get a look at their system and see what they see.

Hoping the deals that currently expire 2/16/11 get extended a couple of months later this fall!

In 2007, I got the 4/3 deal and save a bunch. Even though it was listed as a blackout time, I still got the discount by booking online.

Hi all,

I just received my first pin EVER today. It's good from 1/2/11 to 4/16/11 and from 5/1/2011 to 6/5/2011. In other words, from January to June except for a two week window at Easter.
Unfortunately for us, we are going from 04/23 to 05/01, staying at CSR. :-(
We went for Easter in 2007 and we got a really good discount then so I'm still hopeful that they will eventually open up Easter again this year. FINGERS CROSSED!

FYI, these are the discounts offered with the pin:

40% Deluxe Villa (except 30% @ Beach Club)
35% Deluxe Resorts (except 25% @ Grand Floridian)
30% Moderate Resorts (except 15% @ Port Orleans-French Quarter)
25% Value Resorts (except 15% @ All Star Movies)

I still don't understand PIN codes. Is it a separate email or do they just attach them to the normal monthly Destinations email or is it a different email with just the PIN?

We officially booked our trip starting 4/2/11 so I am hoping since this is 3 weeks before Easter we may get some type of discount.

Welcome!!!

It is a separate email (special offer) that is addressed specifically to you and it can only be used by the recipient of the email. Sometimes they will also send these special offers via postal mail directly to your home address.

The "pin code" is the unique number printed in the email or on the postcard that you must quote (or enter online) to be able to book at the special price.

There are several posts that provide tips on how to improve your chances of getting a pin. Good luck!
