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.
