Can a child use a pin?

[producergirl]

Not that I have a pin...yet...but I was thinking about setting up an account with my 14 year old's email address. If she were to happen to get a pin emailed to her, would we be able to use it anyway? We already have a reservation, but I'm hoping and praying for something that will actually make it affordable for us. Anyone ever used a pin that came in a child's name?

Thanks!

No. A child cannot be the primary name on a resort room reservation.

Oh...I know she can't be the primary. Everything is in my name, but the rest of family are all listed on the reservation. I just thought I read on here that others had been able to apply a pin to their existing reservation as long as the recipient of the pin was already listed in their group...the one I remember might have been a sister-in-law? I can't remember exactly. But that's okay...I'm not trying to beat the system. I'll just wait and see if something comes to either my husband or I.

Thanks!

I am traveling in December with my DD & her friends - all 16. My DD's friend got a pin & we were able to use it since she is on the ressie. The ressie is in my name.

Yes just did it last night. My 11 yr old got a mailer for the monster 40% off and since we are the same household I could use it.

It didnt match my dates of oct 22-30 but an email I got for 40% off did

Thanks so much...that is so encouraging! Maybe I will set up a Disney account for her after all! My husband and I are planning to take our 4 kids in October. I'm the only one of the six of us who has ever been to Disney and the last time I went was in 1983, so it's really like a first trip for all! I'm really hoping for a pin or public promotion to help us out financially...Disney is expensive for a family of 6...or we may end up having to cancel.

I'm new to the board, so thanks for all your input and advice!
