Oh Darn! Don't give up! And don't stop, believin'...hey wait, isn't that a song? That could be our Free Dining PIN code mantra! If we sing it all together....

I called this afternoon and was told I have a pin for my dates of travel in October. The cm wasn't very pleasant in trying to find me a room at POFQ. He told me there would be no gp fall discount and that the pin rooms were almost at capacity. I asked to speak to a supervisor, after a brief hold I was disconnected. Annoyed, I called back. The next cm was extremely pleasant, but told me there was no record of my precious call or any free dining pin for fall. Could he had deleted my pin???

I don't think it could be deleted off of your account by a regular phone CM. I would call back and ask to speak to a manager. Do you have the first CM's name? They might be able to find the recording of the call. Good luck!

This question Isn't about fd but I respect this groups advice, if Someone's going to Disney as a gift to celebrate their 50th birthday, Should they wear their birthday pin for one day or for their whole trip.? Just wondering what others do

You can do it either way. Whatever you are comfortable with.

Sorry to her that Carrie. Some CM are rude. And some are exact opposite . It's stressful enough waiting and hoping for FD

Oh my! That is so awful. I would call back and ask to speak to someone with authority. Good luck!!!!

A lot of people wear them each day of their visit. In fact, CM's at check-in have suggested this to us when we have celebrated a birthday. In the end, it's whatever works best for you.

Oh no! Get back on that phone and speak to a manager. YOU have a reason to "escalate".

What phone number do you call to ask about pin codes? They just look up your name from past trips? I just found out that my daughters cross country team will be going to a championship race the first weekend in December. Thank you in advance, Chris

I always call 1(407) W-DISNEY. Good luck!

1. For anyone that has gotten pin codes for this December so far, What dates are they for? My daughter has a cross country championship race that is the first week in December.

2. If I call and don't have a pin attached to my name. Is is wise to book a trip for the dates I want now and then if fd comes out will they just change my booking? Or should I just wait for the dates to be released (if they offer fd of course lol) and try to get what I want?

3. Can anyone tell me from past experience (during fd) if it is cheaper to go with a value and upgrade to the dining plan with one sit down meal and one counter service. Or to go with a moderate hotel that already has the one table service/one counter service. (there will be 1 {maybe 2 adults, not sure if my 22 yr old will be available to travel with us} and age 11 and 9) don't know if this matters.

Keeping my fingers crossed like everyone else that the free dining Gods smile down on me and my kids lol

Thank you snitch and Pluto . I appreciate that advice... Wishing free dining for everyone !!!!!!

Smitch not snitch lol

I have never had a pin,, how does it work? If you already have a vacation booked will your pin be able to be used for that trip?

Is the pin for just qs meals or is it for the meal plan you have already booked?

The current PIN dates for that time are 11/30-12/4/ so if you can check in on one of those days, you would be eligible for free dining. The next dates do not pick up until 12/15.
