I have only been to WDW twice, so I am not really expecting to get a code however i thought about getting the dvd planner for our upcoming january trip. and thought maybe that would help put me in the running for a code, however, when you get one are there certain dates it's good for? we're not going until jan. so if i got one know i probably wouldn't be able to apply it to 09 because the rates aren't out yet is that right? and so would it be better for me to hold off on getting the dvd untill later in the year? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
 
Codes are for a specific time frame. Currently there are AP discounts that end May 21. You can check on Mousesavers.com for any codes for the General Public, Disney Visa holders, Annual Pass etc. There is also a free dining offer during Aug/Sept of this year. It has to be booked by some time in June.
 
What are these codes that I keep reading about and where do you get them? I am currently a DVC owner, but have already used most of my points for the year. I am looking to book another trip for November to take my family before my son leaves for the Navy. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Well, there are PIN codes and there are "regular" codes. JMO but if you're looking for next Jan for a PIN code (tied to your name and address) I probably would wait to order my DVD until later in the year, just in case, for the reason you mention (dates might not be what you're looking for in 2009).

Otherwise, the "regular" codes that came out for last January started showing up around the October before, so maybe if you waited until about then to order you might have a better shot (though again, this is just a guess :goodvibes ) :

Some people report receiving PIN codes for a resort discount by ordering the Disney planning DVD, getting a Disney Visa card, or just signing up for all things Disney :goodvibes
The PIN codes are tied to your name and address and can't be shared with others (only the person with the PIN code can use it to make res)

There are other discount deals that come out throughout the year for AP holders (Annual Pass), Disney Visa cardholders, General Public (anyone can use) etc. These are assigned a "code" by Disney - usually 3 digit - that identifies the offer. There are also sometimes Bounceback offers for guests staying at a WDW resort to pre-book another trip at a later time.

Last year, November deals started showing up around August, so you should start watching here on the DIS as they will be posted ASAP as they open up.

The mousesavers website also has a list of discounts, and right here on the DIS under "Discounts" there's a list.

The WDW website has them listed under "Special Offers" with the code already built in so you can price your trip directly from there- though the WDW website is notorious for not posting the deals first thing, it might take them a couple days to show up there. And it's also a little complicated - for example, right now the free dining offer is going on for next Aug/Sept, but instead of saying Free Dining, the website has a picture of Goofy with "Free offer! One Delectable Deal!" :confused3
