I got a 40% off room pin!!!

[evan.orwin]

For all levels! I already had a room reservation with a discount for booking during my previous trip (in March) so already my room at Pop was super cheap then with the discount, my remaining balance on my room went from $452 to $265!!!!! My husband fell in love with me all over again haha.

Dining reservations are a whole other story. The rest of my family is being really cheap and really picky. We are doing Hollywood on Monday (with MK EMH PM), Epcot on Tuesday, Animal Kingdom on Wednesday and Magic Kingdom on Friday. I wanted to at least do a lunch reservation for each day, and maybe dinner at Epcot and Hollywood (I'm not a huge fan of any of the restaurants at AK and Friday night at MK is the MVMCP so were just gonna do quick service).

Well everything is either too expensive or not a big enough selection! The only reservation we actually all agree on is Sci-Fi on Monday. I want to pull my hair out because they all want me to make the reservations but wont agree on anything. I finally said that we are all just gonna split up for the rest of the meals and that my husband and I are gonna do what we want! So far I am doing Biergarten on Tuesday, Crystal Palace on Friday and not sure what for AK yet. I told my family if they decide they want to do any of them I would be happy to call and change it up, otherwise they should probably eat quick service.

Congrats on the room pin! Doncha love to get a great deal?! Can I ask...did the pin include Thanksgiving weekend dates? I notice your countdown ticker brings you close to that time frame...I'm hoping to see some kind of discount for that time!

BTW, sorry you're having trouble with other members of your family agreeing on where to eat. I'm having a bit of trouble with that myself right now...I just want to make the ressies and say "We're eating HERE!"

Have a great trip!

I'm not sure if this is the one the OP got, but the Monsters Inc pin (40% off all resorts) is good for:

Save 40%
for stays most nights during these select weeks

9/1–10/9/10 • 10/24–10/30/10 • 11/14–11/20/10
11/28–12/4/10 • 12/12–12/18/10

so it has times around thanksgiving, but not that week itself.

Everyone always asks about how to make it more likely you'll receive a PIN code and I think I have the answer.
Go to Disney several times in a short period of time, then don't go for awhile.

We went for the first time in 2005, then twice in 2006, and again in 2007. We haven't been back since then and we started getting PIN codes about a year ago. We've received at least 3 or 4 since then. Unfortunately, even with the codes, we can't go until at least next year.

I'm going to move this to our resort codes board.

I got the email with the 40% code for sept - dec exclulding the holiday dates. unfortunately, we will be in WDW in 40 days so wont be using this code.

isnt it a little early for WDW to issue codes out to december? Its great for all who can use it.

We booked our july trip with the 30% code for moderate resorts then switched to free counter service dining (upgraded to table service) and saved almost 500$ over the 30% code

I did this and got the first 30% code then played somemore on WDW website, getting quotes for trips and got the dining code. But I havent been on disney's website for months and got this code, so who knows

I too got the 40% off pin, well sorta. We had a trip booked last year with our BF from SC and since we were such a big group she had all the emails sent to my email address but they had to cancel so I still get her emails from Disney and she got the pin code yesterday.I called her to let her know,and we already had a trip booked for the end of Sept with my free dining pin, and I called Disney this morning for her and the CM said to call back with her on the line and they will run both pins to see which is cheaper for everyone, since they want to go the same time as us.

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about going to the Disney website. I was talking about actually visiting WDW several times, then not going back for a couple years.

That hasn't worked for me. We went once or twice a year for 10 years. It's been over 3 years since we've gone and I've never received a PIN. I've tried every trick in the book.
