I GOT A PIN, I got a Pin, I got a pin!!!

[KarlaG4Kids]

I'm SO excited, I opened my e-mails tonight to find a PIN code from DIsney Destinations for FREE DINING. We are booked for our trip in May and there are 10 of us going. It will save us over $600 over the Kids Stay and Play free discount and the % off we currently have. (Some of us have KS&PF and some of us have %off). I've already sent off an e-mail to our DU agent. Now lets hope it can all get applied and we get the dining. I LOVE the dining plans!

I knew my dis friends would understand my excitement!

I got it too, but we aren't going this year :0(

Enjoy your free dining!!

 

[KarlaG4Kids]

Thanks, I just hope it can get applied to our whole group! Wish you could enjoy it too!

I got it too, which now makes it even hard not to plan a trip

 

[eyor44]

congratulations!

 

[kjs1976]

Congrats! And even better that you can actually use it! Keep us posted and let us know if it works!

I too received that pin and we're going in October so it doesn't help us


side note: we've gotten probably 8 pins and never were able to use a single one!

To use the PIN codes, you just have to pay rack rate on the room, right? They just rebook you at rack and put in the pin code?

Great deal if the numbers all work out for you!

Yes, you pay rack rates, magic your way package with park tickets. It does work out for us, but I understand it doesn't for everyone.

This is the 2nd pin code I've been able to use in the past 16 years. But hey. I'm happy as long as it can be applied!!! Good luck to all of you for a pin code that you can use!

I got the free dining PIN today too. I was so excited, until my DH reminded me that we have YES tickets, so we can't book a package. I was ready to toss our $250 deposit for our rental house aside and jump on the free dining. But we can't, since we already have the YES tickets.

Glad to hear someone else got it who can use it - enjoy!

 

[KarlaG4Kids]

Just curious, what is a YES ticket?

 

[LaDonna]

That's awesome! Congrats!!

On a side note, I've never received a pin, and as far as I know I've checked all the boxes in my Disney account????

How many rooms do you have? I THINK you can apply a pin up to 3 rooms but it may be 2. I can't remember. So happy your PIN works out better for you. Have fun!

YES tickets are discounted tickets when your children attend educational classes. If you do a search on YES tickets you will find out more. You can also find out more info here:

I got one too, it will save us $200 for the trip we already have booked!

I was debating speding $200 to upgrade us to 1st class for the flights, now I think I'll go ahead and do it, since we're saving the same amount from the PIN code!

 

[leadfootlevi]

I got one too. We've been debating whether we should go this year or not. FD with a stay at POP is cheaper than staying at FW CAMPSITE (tent), getting YES tickets, and spending the same for food as the QSDP. I was shocked! I thought for sure YES and camping would be the cheapest option available.

 

[ksloane]

Yea! That's great. I seem to get pins about twice a year, but haven't been able to use one yet...*sigh*

 

[RoundtownGirl]

No pin for our household I don't think we've ever had one. I've tried the multiple e-mail accounts, ordered dvd, etc. Looks like rack rates for us. Thank goodness we've been saving up.

Unfortunately the quest for pin became an obsession and started to overtake good 'ole Disney planning. As of now it's time to get over it and get back to planning for the trip. I'll start by only looking at posts about food, touring and rides.

Bring on the full price full of fun family vacation!!

we got one too!
I am sooooooo excited!!!

How do you book with a pin code? Can I do it online then put in the pin code somwhere when checking out, or do I need to call disney directly?

Also it says on the offer 5 nights 5 days, can I make it more than 5 days like 6? or will that void the offer? Also it says something like 1 park a day I think? If we wanted, could we upgrade to park hoppers or would that void the offer?

Either way we would be happy with a park a day, I just wondered in case we wanted to upgrade to park hoppers!

Thanks everyone!!
It was because of this thread that I knew to check my email. So THANK YOU!!

You can do it online only by clicking on the link in the email, it will ask you to verify the name and zip code of the person the PIN code was sent to, then you can select your dates and resort to get the discounted rate. Or you can call Disney and give them the PIN over the phone.

You should be able to do more than 5 nights with this offer, but I think it might be a 5 night minimum so you wouldn't be able to do less. And for sure you can opt for park hopping if that's what you want.
