Discounts Codes Available for December?

[wgclemente]

I called Disney yesterday to see if we had any pin codes attached to our name. We did in fact have one, but it was only good through August. We are looking to go back in Dec. The rep suggested I call back in July to check again. Has anyone received anything yet for Dec timeframe?

Nope. The only one so far was the person specific 40% pincode that expired around March 31.

I got one that was good for 20% of on selected weeks in December! Not good enough for us though!

Nope. The only one so far was the person specific 40% pincode that expired around March 31.

We got that one and booked CSR for Dec 13th-20th. I'm hoping for an AP code for the 12th though, since we always fly in on a Saturday.

I'm relatively new at this...Disney has PIN codes attached to our names? How does that work?

The Disney Travel company sends out special discount pin codes to random (and lucky) members of the general public. Disney usually tries to target certain geographical areas and/or demographics, and sends special offers with a PIN discount code that only members of the household can use. It's so specific, even if your mom got one, she cannot transfer it to you - it must be linked to your name and/or the name of a person traveling with you. The code usually offers a spectacular discount - Free Dining, Free tickets and dining for children 3-9, 40% room, etc. are a few examples. There's no sure-fire way to guarantee getting one, but it's recommended that you register at disneyworld.com, request a free planning DVD, and, if you can, apply for a Disney Visa.
My mom-in-law sent the girl's Disney shirts for Christmas, and wouldn't you know, not long after we got the kids stay, play, and dine for free pin. We spent just under $1400 for 5 nights, tickets, and meals for 5 people - amazing deal.
I'm sending along pixie dust that you get a good one and me another one. We hope to return in November.

Thanks, Mommydar...now it all makes sense! Double on the pixie dust!

I received this pin last October/08. It was good through Christmas Day! We have splits stays as we are crusing with both Disney and nondisney. Our first stay is from Dec. 13-17th. We got POFQ for $62 nightly plus tax (close to that rate) We could have had Values for $49 nightly...

Then we come back on Dec. 23rd - Dec. 25th for $102 nighly plus tax, It is Christmas season, thus the higher rate.

Reality hits us on Christmas night. Back up to $219 for the next three months!

I got one in January, but I think the booking window closed already (we used it for the GF the week after Tgiving)

I also just got the kids play and eat free one a couple of days ago, but we are already on the 4/3 for June, which is a better deal for us.

We got a 40% PIN early in the year which had dates throughout the year. We booked our trip for Dec. with this code! It expired March31 though.

 

[dis2cruise]

my mom received a pin code maybe about 2 months ago...she threw it out now she wants to go to disney in december....If she calls up (not even sure
if her pin is valid for december) can she get the code back from disney reservations??

 

[maryann92201]

I got the 40% off pin code in January which was good for our dates. I jumped all over it for for our December trip.

 

[kevin75]

we're also hoping that we can get a good PIN to go in december. last year, we didn't get anything until almost august.

 

[raven69david]

We book a year in advance and just wait for the general public code to come out. We use the best code between general public or AP to determine which is best. You'd be surprised how sometimes the general public code is better than the AP.

It's always awesome to make payments throughout the year and pay early. Once the discount comes out we receive a credit for the difference and just leave it as room credit. It works out perfect. It's be nice to see a 30% to 40% come out for December as our trip is already PIF for 11/29-12/5/09.

Are there EVER codes for the week between 12/26 and 1/1.
Thanks for any insight. I called DW and they told me there are never codes for this week?

Thanks for the link...I will be sure to check it often.
