Hey, everyone! After a long day of chaperoning DS's class trip to a local museum/planetarium, AND making hundreds of copies for DD's teacher, I have some awesome news to share!

I got home from school today and was exhausted, so I jumped on the Dis for a bit while I put my feet up. I saw all of the reports of more PINs going out, and checked my email. Sadly, there was nothing. I decided to call, and I had the FD PIN!!! I couldn't believe it! In fact, even after the call, I was still in disbelief, but I now have my confirmation email showing that it is for real!

I hope everyone needing this PIN gets it. Don't give up!

That's always good news!

Sooooooooo HAPPY for you!!!!!
This is something to CELEBRATE!

SO THRILLED for you! You deserve the PIN for all the help you have given the rest of us. My trip was booked and ADRs made for 10/19-10/26 based on your suggestion and you were spot on with the dates.

I was almost in tears when I called a few weeks back when the CM found the FD PIN under my sister's name; its a great feeling.

Congrats

Thank you both for the kind words. Before ending the call, the CM asked if there was anything we were celebrating. I said, "Well...we are now celebrating free dining and my husband will feel like he can actually eat something while we are there."

And how does Roger feel about your adr selection

Yes both TRex and Rainforest started accepting it last year.

Does the rainforest cafe take QSDP? We wanted to go last year but never made it.

when i talked to a CM they told me if one of my friends received a pin i could also use it as long as we went together. CM said the code is good for up to 3 rooms. i hope this helps you out!!

That's what I thought but I didn't want to post it earlier lol

 

[ilostnemo]

So here's what I was told. A lovely cm told me to call back in and get on the line for information so pretty much call 407-939-7777 say information then options, more options, then finally its something else. And when someone gets on the line tell them that you're a pin holder and your wondering why you haven't received your pin... The cm that told me this said they will give me one and she said that it has worked in the past for people she knows. I'm on hold right now. Here is the info!

Woohoo!!! Congrats!!! What a way to end a busy day.

Thanks! The kids and I left a trail of cutout letters leading up the stairs (one letter on each step) that spelled out "we got free dining" for DH to find when he got home from work. He is so relieved. Furlough letters are coming this week, so it was perfect timing.

That's a cute way to tell him. Did he look at yiu funny bevatse there were paper letters on the steps?? I know it was a HUGE relief when I got FD. My DH's overtime has dried up a bit. So any way we can save, ill do. I've already saved us $2500 since we originally booked. So when I got FD I called him and asked him how much he loves me... than I told him I got FD. I think he was as excited as I was lol

 

[imabeimabe]

Wow you got CRT & BOG on the same day!!! Lucky!! we are
21st Liberty Tree 6:25
22nd Raglan Rd 8:45
23rd Tokyo 7:40
24th Biergarten Germany 8
25th HS Dine In Theater 4:20
26th DT Rainforest Cafe (horrid time last year at AK) 8
27th Plaza at MK 2
I tried for BOG didn't work. Tried for TRex and it's packed too. Once Le Cellier was noted for 2 tbl serv we decided to do raglan rd. I've always wanted to do Ohana, but the hubs is picky with food. Tokyo will be a stretch for him. I love sushi though so we are going
I think I read you went Dec last year...we did too haha

Call T-Rex direct. You won't have a problem getting a reservation)))

Not worth it to even try. Two cms and a guest services rep later. Got told no. I don't know why I didnt escalate after being lied to about our pin!

Our stairs have a 180 turn half way up, so "dining" was on the second half. The kids and I were sitting at the top of the stairs with big goofy grins on our faces. Basically looking like this----> I could see the weight lift off his shoulders when he realized what was going on. He was so afraid we wouldn't get the dining plan. He was very close to having me buy it even though I showed him that we would be able to each cheaper OOP. With DD being 10 now, there was no way we would spend that much on food. He was convinced that he would not want to eat if he had to pay for the meal right then and there. He works so hard, and with everything going on at work right now, I am just so happy that he doesn't have to stress over this anymore.

So sorry you had to go through all that. It's to bad you couldnt just call disneys marketing dept directly instead of a disney cm but we all know it can't work that way. For the MANY of us who may not even get one keep the faith. We just have to wait a little longer even though it may be the death of us!

I'm so impatient! I'm praying a big load of pins get sent out tonight in about 5 mins..... at 8 pm
