Ok.. with all this confusion.. I wanted to throw in my .2 cents about what I was told on Thursday (sorry if this gets long!!)
I heard about "the code" a few weeks ago, but didn't really think twice about it.. until tax time came around and we got back a "bonus" amount

so DH asked what I wanted to do with the $$ of course I said I wanna go to Disney. I decided to call up and see if I had any discount codes I hadn't gotten word of under my name. Called CRO.. nothing.... got a quote for POP for Nov. decided to call back the next day after remembering about "the code"... asked if I could get a quote for AKL with it... CM did it without thinking twice.. gave me excellent rates with dinning and PH tickets... for both AKL and WL... I got a hold put on it (AKL) until I could clear it with DH and we could decide where to go for certain.... and when ... as DH is in the navy and currently deployed. I called back the next day to check on different dates with "the code" and got a very nice and helpful CM who I was talking to about changing dates and checking on the code. She put me on hold for about 5 mins while she checked on something... came back and told me that "the code" was not a public code (had no idea) and that b/c I didn't have it in either myself or DH's name or addresses that we couldn't book anything new, but that she had checked with her supervisor b/c I had the hold on the ressies already for AKL.. .she told me that her supervisor had put a note on that reservation that I was not supposed to be using the code and that I knew it but that I would be able to use the code to book that 1 that I already had on hold. She told me that there were a lot of CM's booking the code w/out people having the pins and that they were going to crack down on it and they were supposed to be checking thoroughly now and they weren't letting people book anything new. But she did tell me that I COULD keep my current discount since it had "slipped through the system". I called back the next day and put my deposit down.... but did find out that they had put the hold on the wrong resort (on the WL) so we switched it with no problems since it should have been AKL... also, for some reason... when she switched them, the rate was $200 less then what I had been told 2 days earlier!!! so I added on another night.

Hope this helps re-assure someone... It's helping me get through all this confusion... of course I might just be "being told what I wanted to hear" like some people said... but who knows. I'm just going to go based on what I was told by a supervisor... at least there should be notes in my acct saying that I was told I could keep the current discount.
