Are there PINs of any sort for FW campground?

[shellcruiser]

Has anyone ever seen a PIN that could be applied to camping? We have never stayed at "the Fort" because with PINs and codes it is has always been cheaper to stay in one of the resorts (Value or Mod). Ever seen any campground discounts?

Yes, our latest pin had 15% off campsites, 35% off value/mods/cabins, and 40% off deluxe/villas.

Was this in the most recent batch of PINS that were released last week? I would love to get a campground discount!

The "Save on Late Spring or Late Summer" special offer on the WDW website right now doesn't mention campsites, but they are included at 10% off :

Example (and BTW I just used a random date for my example):
The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

Check Out August 23, 2011

Adults 2 Children 2
Room Type:Tent or Pop-Up Campsite
Tickets None

Special Rate April - October Room Only Offer
Date Rate per Night

vs. the "regular" pricing:
The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort
Check In August 22, 2011
Check Out August 23, 2011
Staying for 1 night, 2 days
Adults 2 Children 2
Room Type:Tent or Pop-Up Campsite
Tickets None
Package Room Only
Date Rate per Night
Mon, Aug 22 $ 46.00

I realize 10% isn't much off, but just wanted you to see that there are some campground specials that do show up, even if they aren't mentioned in the ads. It's kind of a hassel to find them so be sure and go in thru the "Special Offers" section of the WDW website, choose the special offer you want to price then choose to "check availability", then "advanced search", then "campground", and finally choose "The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort" to see what's available campsite-wise when new deals are announced.

Good luck and hope some good deals show up and you get a good PIN/or deal

You're welcome, and I bet plenty of people don't see those campsites on those offers either.

Note that when you check availability and choose campground it comes up with this in a little box, with the "No Preference" automatically selected. :

Disney Campground
Enjoy quiet trails, lush pine and cypress trees and all the picturesque beauty of these scenic campsites.

* No Preference
The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

Well, what happens is that it then automatically goes to the Cabins (much more $). You have to manually change the selection down to "The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort" in that box to ever get the campsites to come up.

Whew, WDW marketing sure makes it hard on us sometimes Though I'm sure they would rather have the cabin ressies $ over the campsites, and that's why they do that
