December 2012 Code Watch

[JLa01844]

We are booked "room only" December 2-10, for AoA LM hotel. Hoping a pin comes out between now and then! Would love FD but any type of discount will be appreciated! It just gives us more in the park spending money!

Magical PIN creator in the sky, we are somewhat flexible on our dates, and we don't mind switching hotels either, just send me a PIN!

Have you ordered a planning DVD or park maps? It seems like every time I have ordered a DVD or park map I've gotten a code. I have received two this year that were good for December.

The one I received yesterday was for Free Dining.

The other one I received about a month ago was only for 10% off.

Well, trying the dvd and the map. If I get free dining, we might stay onsite.

We ordered the DVD and few weeks ago and just watched it tonight. Canadians cannot order maps to be delivered to our home but we can print them so I did do that.

I wanted ASMo or POP. Neither were available. When I looked online only ASMu and CS were available with my pin. However when I called to book All Star Sports was also available. I didn't inqure about other Mods as we are staying value level this trip.

Might be b/c of Pop Warner. When the kids come, they use the Value resorts.

We're looking to book our trip after we come back from our Lancaster, PA vacation. We're leaving this Tuesday so we'll probably book Disney as early as next Monday

We had a nice PIN back in 2010 for discount off our room and we were lucky it fell into our dates over xmas....hard to believe, a pin that was good through the week of xmas....
I have made our reservations and have paid for all but @ $400 of it,....now we sit and wait to see if we could get a magic PIN....dates for us are not so flexable since the kids are older and with sports(HS Wrestling) and school we must travelover xmas vacation, only missing 2 days of school....the pin codes that I have gotten this year are only good through 12/20 and that was just off room only reservation....still crossing my fingers!

I think the dates may have been 12/1-12/21 but I'm not 100% sure. We are going 12/8-12/17 and my dates fell into it.

I will say the resort choices were limited with my pin. My 1st and 2nd choices weren't available. But, I'd rather save the money so it wasn't that big of a deal to me.

Wow, first I've heard of anyone getting a pin code for free dining in December. We're booked into POR starting day after Thanksgiving for 10 nights, so a pin code or general free dining offer is definitely wished for.

Only pin code certainty is that no one has figured out exactly how they distribute them.

Hoping for a discounted AP Room rate good for Dec 9-15th so we can upgrade to a Royal Room at POR, otherwise we'll probably just do a standard view room at POR or POFQ.

We are booked for Dec. 14th thru 21st for DDs Sweet 16 this year and hoping for Free Dining Code. I am so hoping for some Pixie Dust! Fingers crossed and praying to the Disney Power's that BE

We finally got a pin via snail mail. 30% off for 12/01/12-12/20/12. We were able to upgrade to 4 room at Coronado Springs We wanted to try AoA Little Mermaid rooms, but we're pretty sure there won't be any discounts offered for the newest resort. Now if they'd just offer free dining for December 10th-20th I can change us to a package and save more since we're feeding 11 people.

I got the exact same PIN and now we're booked for 5 nights at POP for $70/night (pre-tax)! We had a Dec. 2012 trip planned, but no reservations yet, then decided to cancel it. A few days after we decided against, I got the PIN in the mail. My kids have been asking to stay at POP, so we decided to surprise them with a pre-Christmas trip. My MIL is coming, too, so that's an extra surprise!

I called to make the reservation so I asked about AoA LM. The CM said the discount didn't count towards AoA and there was also no availability at my 2 favorite mods, POFQ and POR. Thank goodness POP had rooms available! This will be a budget trip for us since we've got a Disney cruise/vacation planned for June 2013, so the rooms at POP worked out perfectly!

Keep checking for pins. I had the 30% off room pin earlier this month. Called yesterday to book and I had a free quick service pin for Dec. AOA,POP, POR and POFQ were not available with the pin, but all other values and moderates were. Keep checking!

so what where the dates for the free dining?....I too had the 30% off room(ended 2 days before we check in), but with the kids in sports and school, they hate to miss days(if they miss less than 3 days they dont have to take semester tests) I know they dont normally attach many discounts over xmas but I can hope!

 

[ganandem]

Unfortunately I cannot tell you the dates for the free dining only because I don't know. When I called and had them check my dates (Dec. 12-16th) the cm said that I had a pin offer for free dining during that time. I asked about a free dining for the general public and he said it has been offered in the past but he hadn't heard anything.

After reading your post I thought I would call and give it a shot. I don't have any PINs on my name, nor anyone in my family. We are booked for Dec 8-15th at AoA.

My fingers are crossed !!!

Joining in! I'm planning a trip with my 70+ dad, my 21yr old nephew, and one of his friends. We need 2 rooms, and I'm probably going to book at the All Star Sports. The quick service pin would be awesome with 2 21yr old guys to feed!

I'll be heading down on Nov 30 - Dec 3 and we're officially booked at SSR. Although, we may try to leave Nov. 29th to have all Friday in DW! The November hours are now out so I'm hoping December will be out before making my ADRs!

I'm going down for a conference 12/8-12/12. No PIN as of yet. Got AAA discount for a total of $756.39 for 4 nights in a King Room at the Caribbean Beach.

Hopefully a PIN comes through for me but if not that's not a bad price, plus my work reimburses me for it so in the end it is just coming up with the money.

Got a (up to) 30% room only PIN in my e-mail a few days ago. It was good for 12/1-12/20. It did not include AOA, so I switched us to POP. Our orginal price was $880 (with a 10% AAA discount) at AOA for 8 nights and with the 30% pin it is $685 at POP. Cast Member confirmed that this is the first round of December Pins and that it is REALLY early in the season for them to be out already. She was actually surprised a few had already made it out!

Hoping a Free Dining Pin or General Public Free Dining will come out though. $200 saving for the 30% Room Pin but about $800 savings with Free QSDP.

So what I did to generate the PIN that I think REALLY helped...becuase I've been trying to generate a pin for like 2 months now.... I went to my internet browser's setting and cleared everything. All my cookies, cache, browsing history, saved passwords, etc. When I went back to the disney website I had to reenter all my login info (as it had "forgot" everything after that clear out)....then I went ahead and priced out a few vacations and saved them for later. Then I created some custom maps.... and low and behold the PIN e-mail said "Thanks for creating a customized map online! Now it’s our move." It was about 3 days after I created the maps.

Try it! Can't hurt!
