May 2011 Code Watch

[AKL LOVER]

I too am planning a May/June trip. I will know after Thanksgiving how many aer going so that I can get it started! People always think I am rushing them but this is the latest I've ever planned a trip! Just hoping I can get what I want as far as rooms and dinning. Would like to book through Dreams but I think I have to go through Disney to use my reward points and a pin. Is that correct?

To use a pin, yes you have to book through Disney.

I am excited to have just found this website! That being said! I am oober excited to be taking my 15 year old nanny and 1 year old daughter on the first Disney trip in May! We are joining another family, so we are praying hard Disney offers discounts after the holidays!!!

I received a pin in email and snail mail. My TA applied it to my reservation no problem.

FWIW: I just received an email PIN for most of May that included free QSDP. It stated it was for Value resorts, but I was able to get it applied to my CR ressie (well, actually I used it to discount for the DDP). I'm not a big fan of the dining plan, so am still holding out for a room-only discount code, but the fact that I ACTUALLY got a useable pin for a time I will be at WDW is a miracle I'll takes what I cans gets.

Can you provide some additional details on the PIN you received.

I just received the pin going around for a "Royal Proclaimation", here's what it said:

Darn, I can't order maps because they won't ship them to Canada. This offer covers my dates so, I guess I will just keep waiting and hoping for a PIN. At least I know that the offer for May are out there.......

I just booked for May 4-8 at the Contemporary using a 35% off pin code that I received in October. I totally broke my own rule that I wouldn't return until my DD was 3 and potty trained. This PIN code changed my mine!

Well under 3 is free and in some ways diapers are easier than finding a potty when she needs one NOW!

I'm about to give up hope on planning a May trip. I always get pins and discounts but haven't seen one for my dates yet!

 

[DW mouser]

Well, actually I didn't have to cancel except with myself and grandkids!! I had never confirmed yet. My husband and son both said one trip a year is enough and we are going to Universal in March for Spring Break so Disney will have to wait until next Year. If I had known that I would of choosen Disney!! We got a pin for free dining or 35% off a room so that was the reason I wanted to go in May. Kids were out of school by then and for once it could of worked out, I thought. Too many conflicts with everyone's work so we will not be going! I wish I could call Disney and ask them to give me the same pin next May and I would for sure use it. I already loaded my reward points on my reward card too so I need to plan and put down deposit on one for 2012 before my card runs out the end of next year. At least I will have something to dream about for 2012!!

We are planning May 15-21 and staying at All Star Movies. I am Canadian and have never received a pin code. Are there rumours out there about any specials for the general public at all that will be for that time period? I think last year was the buy 4 nights get 3 free???

According to Mousesavers this offer for 2009 & 2010 was already released by now. Also while 2009 was Jan - June the offer for 2010 was only for Jan to Mar. So I would say the chances of a buy 4 get 3 free for May 2011 would be pretty slim. But I haven't given up hope of some other kind of discount for May.

We received a pin code for 35% off a deluxe. I didn't receive it through email or snail mail, I called to ask. We were planning on going in August but this changed our minds. We're not 100% on the dates just yet but we will figure it out this week and then we'll book. We're thinking May 17th - 27th at the Poly.

I am hoping that they will come out with deals for May, in December!!

Does it happen very often that someone has a code attached to their name and not receive anything in the mail or email?

It must happen more often than we think. I was reading on another thread (or maybe it was a post awhile back earlier in this thread) where someone called to book with one PIN they got via email, but it turns out they had another PIN linked to their name when they called and it had a better deal!

If you haven't gotten one, it couldn't hurt to call and ask!

 

[kadesha]

SO mad!!!!! I just got an email pin for OCTOBER 2011!!! Why October?! Guess May got skipped over...

 

[DJ Disney Kid]

Codes we're released January 1st, 2010 that had discounts for May 2010, so I am expecting in about a month we should have some discounts for us May 2011 folks!
