does percent discount come off whole package?

[momsavealot]

stupid question but got a pin code and wondering if the discount comes off the whole package or just the room portion of the package?

It probably depends on the pin, but I think most of them are only off the room. We used the 40% off room last year (not a code, just military discount) and the only thing discounted was the room, not dining. I think the only time tickets and dining are included is in the buy 4 get 3 and those sort of deals. I could be wrong though.

A % off PIN code comes off the room portion of the package. You will pay full price for tickets and/or dining.

It completely depends on the pin code. Some pin codes are for the room only and some are for packages. Between DH and myself, we usually receive at least one of each every year. The offer will state if it is off a package or a room. Just be sure to read the whole offer.

If you receive a room only pin code and want a package, you will pay full rack rate for the tickets and the dining plan (if you choose it). If you receive a package discount, I've frequently asked if there was a similar room only discount, as I find the dining plan to be more expensive than paying out-of-pocket and can get tickets deeply discounted through DHs work. Not every CM knows how to get the equivalent room-only discount, but I find that if I keep calling, I eventually hit on one that knows how. One of those rare *excellent & knowledgable* CMs once told me that there is always a room-only discount with the package discounts; you just have to be persistent/find the right person who can get it for you.

I have never seen or heard of a PIN code for a % off a package...like one that gives a % off room, dining and tickets? .do you mean like a 4/3 promo where is works out to be a % off of everything? I am interested to know the details of a % off package PIN.

No, I do not mean like a 4/3 promo. Those are available to the general public. I mean a pin code where it is emailed or snail-mailed to a specific individual. DH or I have received at least one every year since 2003; they exist. And, yes, you get a % off room and tickets--not sure if they include dining, to be honest. They work exactly the same as the much more common room only pin code discouts--limited availability, certain travel dates, etc.
