Just Got A 40% Off Code

[FeeFeeWhite]

Would free dining or 40% off be better?

Would free dining or 40% off be better?

Depends where you are staying and how many people in your party. If you are staying in a value it may be better, but if you are staying in a mod or deluxe your resort discount would be much better. Also keep in mind with the new "free" dining you will have to add a 18% tip and there is no appetizer.

Would free dining or 40% off be better?

Depends on which hotel you are staying at, how many people in your party etc. For example, for a family of 4 (all children above age 9) at the values, free dining would probably be better...

I just want to be sure everyone knows I'm not asking for anyone to share their PIN number. I would like to know the 3 letter code though, as this part is public. Can someone please post this or PM me? Thanks so much!

I just got it here in PA on Tuesday

its not public as i was told by 2 Disney CMs when booking.

Hi! I got the 40% today from Disney Destinations. I am so excited! We were booked at the WL for that week, but unfortunately they had no rooms with the 40% code. We decided to book the Beach Club. We've never stayed there before and it looks beautiful. We got the room for 8 nights, 3 adults and 1 child, park hoppers and dining plan for $4271.95. Sounds great to me! I'm sending some pixie dust to those who need a code.

I called yesterday to make ressie's and I didn't commit. Today I got the 40% off code by e-mail. It is not a 3 letter code, it is a long number. When I confirmed my #, it was under my daughters name. But the CM fixed everything.

I booked 3 nites over Labor Day weekend at the Animal Kingdom $135 a nite with tax. The CM told me I can use the 40% off of rooms till March 12. But she said don't wait to long, lots of standard rooms are gone already. I wanted The Wilderness Lodge and they were gone, but she could upgrade me for $10 more a nite.

Just going to encourage everyone to just keep calling if you are taking/or want to take a vacation during the dates of this 40% off promotion. This was my timeline with this code. I was told alternatingly over the last two weeks that I either have no code under my name, have a code good only for dates through march under my name, or have a code under my sister's ex-boyfriend's name registered at my address - also only good for dates through march and I couldn't use anyway according the the cm's who say it is there. I really would just drop it and not be such a pest about these discounts if they ever gave the same story twice.

Anyway, I call this morning and lo and behold I have the 40% off code that everyone here has been talking about. I confirm the dates and tell the cm that I need to call my wife and figure out the best time to use. I'm assured that the code is on my account, under my present info and will be readily available when I call back. Like a complete dunce I accept this at face value and hang up.

After 2 hours of phone calls and deciding where and when we want to stay - I have no code on my account whatsoever. I spend nearly a half hour on the phone, am transferred to someone in guest services who also assures me that there is no code on my account but they would be happy to give me a discount that amounts to about 10% off - less than a AAA discount. Oh well, at this point it is time to go get the kids and I temporarily give up.

I call back this afternoon. Explain that I was quoted a 40% discount code earlier this morning and that I spent over a half hour around noon being told there is no code at all on my account. He tells me thats silly - there is clearly a code right here and we go through the motions of trying to book a reservation for December. After several minutes - "oh, this code is only good for dates until the end of March." Now it is closing in on basketball practice and I give up again.

So, my final try of the night I simply call and say I want to book a stay in December. I say I understand that I might have a discount eligible for this period. Without hesitation the cm says absolutely and in less than 10 minutes I am booked at the Poly with 40% off the room rate. I have already confirmed the res at wdw.com and am good to go.

Long story short - don't give up and as frustrating as it is try not to take it out on the CMs. In all of my calls I really don't believe that any of the CMs are lying to me. I just thank their database and how it attachs discounts is that complicated. In fact, for all we know the phone queue might randomally assign incentives to accounts as calls come in. It would certainly be one of the only ways to explain my on again / off again code situation. Just keep trying and I imagine most of you will eventually be rewarded.

I too received the email for 40% but when I called they told me that the code was not assocaited w/ my name but ended up being assocaited w/ my sisters name.. (two different households)... I called my sis to tell her and I found out the reason why I received the email and not her - she said it was because she used my email address to receive communication from Disney when she ordered the Disney Vacation DVD.

I dont know how true this is but we both ordered the DVD at the same time... the difference between the two of us is that I have been to Disney numerous times and she has never been to Disney.

Also, her code was 40% off for a bunch of travel dates- turned out I had a code under my name but it was for traveling from now to March!

I am SO HAPPY! I called to check out prices with the code. It took a while for them to double check everything but I ended up getting a better hotel than we planned for about what we first wanted to stay price wise. What a treat!!! So Much better than AAA discount! Thanks to these boards I knew that was a code and steal, sorry a deal.

They let me book 3 rooms (we are traveling with both sets of our parents) with my code. Our families are so excited.

Argh! If they are emailing codes for Disney Visa, we are SOL b/c they messed up DH's email address and we only just got it fixed on Monday.

 

[Disneysnel]

I have received a few of those Disney Destination emails. I thought they were from a 3rd party and never opened them .
I did not get one in the past couples of days and I am hoping they didn't decide not to send them to me anymore because I never opened them!

Congratulations to all who did receive them and and were able to book great rates!

We received a flyer in the mail and here's the weird thing. The last time we went was in 2004. We used my Disney Visa. We are booked in 2008, again under my name. And who is the flyer addressed to? My husband, who has no Disney Visa, is on no emailing list, has never visited the site, etc. The only way they could have his info is from his three day hopper ticket from 2004. Go figure. (By the way, I kept my maiden name so our it's completely different from his.)

The dates don't match when we're going, but the trip is part of a business conference so we're getting like, 75% off our trip as it is (free transportation, free lodging and free dining for DH).

But maybe I'll spend my 40th bday...did I type 40th? I meant 30th birthday trip for WDW!

Congrats to you guys that got one. We stayed last year at BC with a discount and would really like to do it again this year. Our tennative dates are the same as one of the codes. Crossing my fingers we get one lol. I guess I am going to call back tomorrow and see.

 

[mykidsrock76]

I have called several times, have 2 itineraries saved at WDW site, and we also have a Disney Visa... but NO CODE!!! Maybe I should just try to book it and see what happens. We're going during the available dates and a discount would be great.

Thanks for the encouragment. I too have never received an email offer. I have received postcards for other family members. I am probably signed up for more disney sites than anyone on the boards. Again I did not receive this one either. I have in the past called and was told an offer was on my account. I plan to call and check, just have to get in the right frame of mind first.

As for patterns, there is none.

We are Disney Visa holders (and get emails & newsletters) (3 of us in the family)
We are 5 AP holders (most since 1995) and receive AP emails & mickey monitor
We are DVC members (3 of us) (since 2005) and receive E-mails & newsletters
We are DDE card holders (3 years now) and receive E-mails & newsletters
We are registered on Disney Shopping since 1997 and receive emails
We are registered on WDW website, and we have 7 different accounts total and receive mail from disney destinations-newsletter, and the Hello newsletter
I update all 7 Disney online accounts after a trip to keep it current. I even went online yesterday to make sure the emails were correct and that all boxes were checked. There is no block on my emails because I have received room confirmations from disney destinations after booking a room. So don't have a clue what activates the emails.
