Latest PIN offer

[dishguy1977]

Has anybody received the latest PIN offer in the mail/e-mail lately? I got one in November via email that expired on Dec.31st and I called in the other day and apparently the latest offer is attached to my name but I haven't received an e-mail. The rep on the phone wouldn't give me the PIN code as he said it was for the phone only and wouldn't work online - is this true? I prefer to book myself online.

Also, can someone clarify the differences between booking a "room only" reservation vs a package? From what I've read it looks like the room only is more flexible in terms of cancelling. We will need to add passes and the dining plan afterwards and that can be done, correct? Can it be done as late as check in or if not what is the timeline I'm looking at? We want to book for May but I am having a kidney transplant in 2 weeks and while my doc thinks I will be able to travel by May there could always be complications that would prevent that from happening. Travel insurance wouldn't help me either as it would be a pre-existing condition that prevents me from travelling.

Hmmmm..I got a pin and it worked online with my name and I think postal code attached?

Did you get the PIN over the phone or in your mail/e-mail? The guy I spoke to wouldn't give me the PIN.

What is the latest PIN code? I'm not familiar with whats floating around out there right now. I do know that if you are booking the DDP, it needs to be added no later than 3 days prior to your arrival.
As for travel insurance, you can cancel your Disney reservation with no penalty if you do it at least 45 days prior. Even if you were to cancel the day before your arrival, you will only be charged $200 so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Good luck with your transplant. My DS1 yr old has several kidney problems so I can relate a little. Although we are not quite where you are at. Good luck again and enjoy your trip! And don't forget to make your ADR's ASAP!

I have never used a pin..but think if you have them price out some resorts ..they will attach your pin to it and the rate will reflect it?

Thanks for the answers! So that's pretty much what I thought - worst case scenario we lose $200. We should know by 45 days out if it's going to happen or not. I haven't even officially booked but I already made a few ADR's for the harder to get ones (California Grill, Fantasmic pkg and Le Cellier) for the week that we think we are going.

Sorry to hear about your DS1...I have 3 kids myself, two of which have the same kidney condition I have so I can relate a little to your situation as a parent too!

The rep quoted me 40% off on the Deluxe Villas which is what we are interested in but I have read elsewhere that it's 35% off moderate and value too. I read it in the thread below and the dates match what I was told on the phone so I think it's the same offer I have.

Yup, this is the one I got a couple of days ago. Those Nov dates don't really work for us as we'd need Nov 10-15. I suppose we could get a couple of days at the discount, though.

We are currently booked with Free Dining in Sept. but I was thinking if I could find a room only discount, I might be tempted to add a couple of days at a deluxe at the end of our vacation.

Thanks! Maybe I will have to call and see if the PIN is attached to my name as well.

Turns out my wife actually received the email om Jan.6th so not sure if it was really attached to my name or if the rep just saw it under her name.
