Got a confusing FD PIN today

I got a postcard about 10 days ago with a FD pin for summer, and of course, we have a planned trip that ends not long before the offer begins.

Today I got an email with the same verbiage as the postcard

for stays most nights 6/3–8/13/11.

BUT it had a little note added in blue at the top:

Just choose the deal that's right for you
for arrivals most nights 4/23–8/13/11.

Ho-kay ... so what exactly does that mean? Am I really eligible to get the FD option for earlier dates than originally stated?

Anyone run into something like this before and successfully take advantage of a date extension?
 
I got the same pin this morning. We are already booked for Oct so my husband won't go for another trip:headache: Sending pixie dust to all of you who are waiting.
 
I think the deal is from 4/23-8/13. The June date I believe is just giving you a per adult *example* for those particular nights (6/3-8/13) which I assume is a different "season" than the other dates included in the deal.

Does that make any sense?
 

both my husbands and my free dining pins were 4/23 to 8/13. It doesn't hurt to call and find out if the pin can be applied to your trip if your dates fall in that window.
 
The 3 FD PINS I got via email a few weeks ago all had 4/23-8/13 at the top, the left side listed deluxe resorts with the dates 7/17-8/13 DDP, and on the right were listed mods and values with the dates 6/3-8/13 QSDP. Doesn't do me any good, we're going in October this time.

I need more coffee :surfweb:- for a second there, I read this as you have TWO husbands and they both got Free Dining Pins. :eek:
 
Easter Season is April 17-30
Regular season is May 1 - June 2
Summer Season is June 3 - Aug 13

I'd say the deal is good from 4/23–8/13/11, but you are going to see variations in pricing based on the season.
 
Maybe she has Brother-Husbands and they're all going to Disney for a new TLC special! :lmao:
 
I got this same one this morning! Too bad we already have our trip planned for December. Praying that I get one for my December dates!
 
it means if you book your trip beginning 8/13 you are still eligible for the FD everynight of your stay thereafter up til you leave. I called to double check this.

We got the same pin by email and by snail mail but we can't take advantage of it. First of all, plane tix are WAY TOO HIGH this season ($400 + p/p for us) AND the rates are higher (I can remember when a family of 4 could go for about $1200) NO more... :( Third reason being, this pin doesn't cover our originally planned vacation dates.
