Everything You Need To Know About Discount Codes

[love_mickey]

I dint get one but i would love for them to send me one since. Great Deal you got!!

So I booked the resort last Nov for an upcoming early Feb wdw trip (first time). Now I see there was a room only code offered that had to be booked before Jan 4. Is there any chance I can apply to that a trip booked pre-Jan 4? Or would it have to be a new booking?

I'm feeling a little stupid. We're paying for four nights and we cannot extend our stay -- so we miss out on the pay for 4 and get 7 deal. Even though I've had a Disney Visa for years, I never get a code offer (and I called to check), no offer of free dining that I can find, so we'll be paying full price for everything in this crazy economy while all these other deals are offered....

Combine this with the fact that Fantasmic (which I have always wanted to see) will not be offered any one of the three nights were are there and I'm really not feelin' the magic....

does anybody know the dates for the 3 letter 40% off code (this isn't the 15 digit one)

When I called I had both pins/codes attached to my name and the 15 digit code the CM told me ran from Dec 7-17 and the 3 letter digit code ends on Dec 13th (not sure what date it starts)

Anyway was just curious what the other specific dates the 3 letter code is good for.

Wow, your Disney Garden is fabulous!

Did you call to find out about the room only code and if it could apply to your existing reservation? I'd be tempted to make a new reservation for the buy 4 get 7 deal and drop the old reservation. Mighty tempted. Is it too late?

I apologize if this question has been answered before -
I plan on booking a mod resort with the 40% off rate for 4 nights but this stay will be during the end of August when free dining is likely to be offered. If I want to make use of the free dining offer, will I need to call and modify the reservation, give up the 40% discount and pay the regular rate ($149)? Also, has anyone had any luck using a PIN code for concierge level (we're staying at WL during separate visit). TIA

I read this whole thread and didn't see a clear answer. I just got my first email pin code. It is for 40% off a value during value season. We are a family of 5 ugh. It states "standard room only"

Has anyone had any luck booking the ASMU Suite with a code like this? We are possibly going to do a 4 day weekend trip during Sept for dd's birthday and this would help with the hotel.

I know the other way around it is to book 2 standard rooms, it comes out to be about the same cost. But with no gurantee of the rooms next to each other I really don't want to do that.

Also does anyone know what this means "Minimum length-of-stay requirements may apply for Friday and Saturday arrivals. " How many nights is a minimum length of stay? Thanks.

Just for clarification...
If I were to book a package, and a general public package discount came out, I would of course apply it. In the meantime, if I received a pin code, would I then have to choose between the two offers, or could both be applied to one vacation?

Also, is there any info that suggests whether room only or package bookings tend to result in the best deals? We are looking to travel next May, so free dining and things like that are unlikely. Has anyone made an educated guess as to whether something like the 4/3 deal might be offered for 2010?

TIA to anyone who can help.

I don't have any responses to anyone, but I'm hoping to get an answer myself:

I booked a room only with a code for 40% off for a trip in Dec. 2009, but if I want to add dining, do I have to cancel the room and book a new package? And, if I do that, will I still get the 40% off?

Thanks, anyone.

I just tried calling the number you gave to see if there was a code connected to my name/address and I was informed that they are only the reservation line and have no access to that information she suggested I check to see if I marked off the box in my profile to receive offers. Not sure if maybe this is something new as your post appears to be from last year just thought I'd let others know. I really liked the info you gave though hope I can find something to help us.

I've reading some of the above posts, I'm new to the DIS and still don't understand all the abbreviations, where is everyone going, what website to look at codes?? I'm trying to figure out where to stay with my family in jan 2010 would like to do a few nights at a disney resort the lady on the reservation phone told me the only places that can accomodate a family of 5 is Port orleans or else the deluxe hotels is this true? I'd love to stay at a deluxe resort but they are out of our price range unless we found a good deal, we are considering staying at one for 2-3 days just for the experience and then staying elsewhere. going for 14 days althogh 4 of those days are a convention at a different hotel. What does everyone think is it worth the price??
thanks for any advice I'm feeling overwhelmed with the planning

I PM'd you just go to the top right corner and click your private message. How old are your children?

The pin codes would be attached to your name or address and you more than likely would have to have booked thru them for you to have one attahced. I called to book on the reservation line a few times and just asked do I have any codes attached to my name or address? And the CM checked
and said "yes you do, and using that code saves you $900 " I had no idea there could be a code attached to my name until I read it on here and gave it a try! See, Disney wants to keep people coming back, so they do this... thing is she did not give me the discount until I asked. So apparently they can not see it unless they "check" I don't know if they are actually pushing a "repeat customer" button or what but it worked for me, more than once! And I had $900 more dollars to spend on souvies!

You would have to choose between the 2 discounts. If you are staying at a Value resort the free dining is usually better. At a Moderate the two are pretty close and at a Deluxe the 40% is better.

Wow! That's a lot of information!! Although I've been a member of this board for a while, I've just recently been reading and posting. I never knew what "Stickys" were nor did I ever read them. I will from now on. I've never received a pin, a code or a discount code so here's hoping!!!

Thanks for all of the great information.

What is a sticky and how do you get discount codes? I'v booked my room at the CBR over $1500.00 with tickets for 4 people I sure coud use a discount.
We are Grandparents raising 2 Grand daughters 7&9 We sure could use a discount more money for the park.

Stickies are the posts that stay at the top of the page with info everyone should read. There is no "way" to get a pin code sent to you. You increase your odds of getting one if you register your email with disneyworld.com or order the vacation planning DVD or possibly "saving" vacation packages on the website

O.K. I want to apologize in advance if this has been asked and answered... I only made it through the first couple of pages. I received two emails with pin codes in them tonight one is for my mother and one is for my father. They are traveling with us in Dec, same dates, and resort. I booked and paid the deposit on both packages. Is there anyway I can the pin codes applied to both their reservation and ours? And how would I do this?

TIA!!

Stephanie

If it is in their name you should be able to change it to the code. If one is in your name, you'll have to cancel and redo it in theirs, not sure on that

I received a 40% code in in May and was able to use it for my booking in July. It is helpful as I went ahead and added the PH option to our 3 day fun pass. We've got 9 days left for our trip!
