Free Dining Pin

[llrobinson48036]

So Ive been a long time lurker of this site and taken in alot of advice. I have had my trip booked and paid for since Febuary. We had the discounted room pin added to our package. So I keep looking on here and saw that some people have been getting free dining pins . And others telling us that they just called Disney and spoke with a cast member and they got it added. Well I called several times and each time they told me they couldnt do it. I said to myself I will call everyday until I get free dining. Finally I got the right person and guess what she added the free dining pin and I got some money refunded persistance pays off. So dont give up call until you get the right person !!!

Thats great! I'm such a wimp. I get so bummed out after getting shot down, that it takes me days to get the nerve up to try again. Maybe I'll get lucky one of these days too!

Your so lucky! I am sitting here waiting for the new offers to come out keeping my fingers crossed for August. They are just killin me here!

Sometimes I think that they allow CMs to give out PINs to people. The fact that they have the FD for the summer tells me that WDW is hurting for bookings. Gas prices and the economy are still in the tank big time.

May I ask what was the procedure you used to get this??

I would use all the patience I have to get it!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you save with free dining over the room discount?

Thanks everyone,
So I called and told them how I had already booked and payed off my entire trip and that I have been watching this board and seen that people are getting free dining pins through the mail and by calling and talking to someone at disney. I said I really am upset that I lost out on the free dining pin this year and she told me to hold on and came back and said Lisa guess what I got you the free dining . WOO HOO .. She was extremely nice as well. I seem to always get the best results when I call towards the end of the night.
Now my room rate did go up when we added free dining but I still got a refund of $300.00 which we can use towards spending money

If you are considering going or already have trip booked I say call until you get what you want, no matter how many times it takes! Dont feel like a pest because there are so many people that get things this way ! We pay enough money as it is already they should throw in a perk or two lol !!

GOOD LUCK

I just gave it a try, but no luck. I'll keep on trying. Maybe next time.

I got the PIN emailed to me and was able to get a refund for the free quick service dining that I had paid for during Spring Break!! I was shocked to get free dining for Spring Break. It is the week after Easter though. Saved $800!!!!

We wanted to go in June but then had to change plans because some bills came up and this wasn't realistic anymore. Last week I came into a little bit of money and decided I would book the trip. Thank you luck because this was the very day after all the specials ended.

I have called every single day since in hopes to get any type of discount and nothing. We have gone every year since 2005 with my son and personally have gone to Disney World at least 35 additional times in my life. Why can't someone see that I am dedicated and just give me a little something.

Wonder if I should call again. I am really starting to lose hope but when you read stories like this it really makes me want to try again. Kinda like the "Little Engine That Could".

To all of you ... keep trying. I had given up all hope of getting the PIN. I tried ordering the vacation planning DVD, Chatting online with the Disney rep, saving all different package combos, etc. Finally, I gave up, booked the 25% off at WL and called it a day. Two hours later THE email, arrived with Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti!!! Disney Dining Deal for your family!!! Oh yeah!!! It saved us $600.00

What number do you call to see if there is a PIN attached to your name/reservation?
