Thank you! I'm so glad to finally be decided! It was so hard to choose to go for less days in November, now we don't have to!!!

Just called again for about the 10th time, and still nothing. I think I am going to hang it up and let the chips fall where they may. I have everything booked and I am going to put my time and towards energy preparing for my trip.

Good luck to everybody!!

So, how do you get the CM to check to see if you have a PIN connected with your name? Yesterday, I spoke to 3 different CM's...one said that they wouldn't be able to check unless I was going to book something...

I called back and the 2nd CM seemed like he knew what I was talking about, but then he only could find the FD that has been released to the general public...

So, I booked CBR...then I called back to switch from CBR to CSR, and the 3rd CM didn't seem to know what I was asking him...I kept saying: "I want you to check to see if there is another discount besides FD that is associated with my name..." He never answered my question directly...he just said, 'You have the FD package"....so frustrating!

I was really hoping to get a room discount instead...I know...I sound ungrateful, don't I?

Someone on here gave me a better # to call 1-407-934-7639, I then say on the prompter that I need "Rates & Offers", when the lady answered, I stated I was calling to see if I had a PIN attached to my name.

Yesterday, I did not have it.
Today, I had it !!!!
First & probably only chance I will ever get to stay at the Tower at the Contemporary, they typically cost $400 during value season alone !!! So, I am super excited to get this applied to my 12/09 thru 12/17 vacation & I did not have to split it up into 2 reservations, it was applied to the entire 9 days & 8 nights. Woo Hoo !!!

Could someone who has gotten today's PIN please let me know if the rumoured Free Regular Dining at the values is also included on it. My dates are already during the free dining and we've upgraded from quick to regular. I'm not sure if I should be crossing my fingers for a PIN, or if it won't make any difference for us.

The info you provided should help! I'm going to call back again, for sure!

I am also getting set to look into another WDW trip for me and my husband and kids...we would love to stay at CR or BLT and a discount would be great!

I know, I could NEVER afford the Contemporary & would only consider staying there IF I could stay in the actual tower itself & not the garden wings, so I changed from the WL to Contemporary, did not have to do a split reservation, & saved $315 dollars.

The WL Woods View room was $275 value season.
The Contemporary Tower Bay Lake view is $400
The Contemporary Tower Castle view is $440. (n/a)
So, I pleasantly surprised, happy, & excited about our first stay ever at the Contemporary !!!

We love the WL, but this would have been our 3rd stay, so this will be so exciting to have a tower room, woo hoo !!



Now, I need to change my signature/avatar.

From what I've read in other threads, only QS is free at values. You'd have to upgrade.

I'm still waiting on my TA to call me back and let me know the final details. When I called her at 1030a, she said the Disney systems were down. I'm on pins and needles waiting for her confirmation. I understand why we can't, but I wish there was some way for us that use TA's to get into our reservations.

I called and was told I could book anywhere between dec 10-21 and get free dining. must be booked by august 14. now just praying and keeping fingers crossed that things fall into place so we can go!

My dates are Dec 3-10, when they extended the FD my dates of course were blacked out, I called to see if I were to come a day early would they then extend the FD through the rest of my stay and I was told that because of my black out dates it wasn't possible.

After reading about pin codes and then calling to check if any were attached to my name I was told no there weren't any but if I wanted to come a day early they would extend the FD for my entire stay, I told the nice CM that I was told before It wasn't possible, well he went and ran it through for me and it worked, I got free dining now for Dec 2- 10th.

I am so excited, now I don't have to eat pop tarts every day of my vacation, I get real food!!!

Keep calling and checking people, I think alot of it depends on the CM you get. Good luck to everybody I hope everyone gets what they are hoping for.

CANNOT BELIEVE IT......I just got an email from Disney Destinations with Donald & nephews in the header...telling me how to plan all the magic I can for my upcoming vacation!! OMG, they seriously know how to torture me! I suppose since I have called 3 times today they decided to send me email reminding me of all that I need to plan before my vacay in Oct.!! GRRRR!! I really thought I had it

Congrats to everyone who has gotten it!

 

[DisneyNDecember]

Congrats DisneyAddicted !!!

I could not believe I got a 40% off PIN today, I never get 40% off PINS !!! We fell on non-black out dates last year & utilized the Free Dining plan for our first time at the Wilderness Lodge. The free dining was nice, but I was really hoping for a 40% off Deluxe rate & almost cried this morning when the CM told me I had a PIN this morning (I did not have one yesterday, so keep trying guys).

The WL 40% rooms were taken, so I changed my reservation from the WL woods view (we have stayed in the Woods View room twice now & it is GREAT for fireworks viewing at night) to the Contemporary Bay Lake TOWER room & still got $315 taken off my total package price.
It will be so cool getting to walk to/from Magic Kingdom in the evening after the park closes & zipping on a monorail straight to Epcot (after the transfer at the TTC of course), & geez, those rooms are HUGE in the TOWER !!! Loving that !!!!!! I am soooooooooo excited.

I thought I would only be able to stay in the Tower area at the Contemporary if I married into money (kidding) or won the lottery !!! My son & I are sooooo excited !!!!

So, keep trying guys. I still have not gotten an email today, so if my fellow Dis Buddy this morning had not talked me into calling again after 11:00 AM, I would still be waiting also.

Here is wishing everyone some pixie dust !!

Thank you DisneyNDecember.

And congratulations to you as well.

I finally heard back from my TA!!!

Apparently, there are no values offered with my PIN, so I am now staying at CBR, with water view, for the same price I was paying at POP w/o FD. I must admit I am somewhat disappointed because I was looking forward to saving some $$$, but I guess I'll look at as I'm getting an upgrade in accommodations at no charge.

Now, I have to learn more about CBR.

Thank you DisneyNDecember.

What time did that email come?
When I called I had nothing, but I wasn't impressed with the CM either. And the system had one email, that is an account, but not my Disney one, the guy then said, no the email we have on file is this.... and that wasn't my disney one either. So no wonder my main email no longer is receiving updates and or pins anymore. I was getting one about every few weeks and then they stopped. I know why now. They don't have that email listed anymore. Weird.

I hear what you are saying. I have been going through this for weeks. it has taken over my life!! but i will say this i have spoken to various CM's and they all have different answers which is no frustrating...so i feel what u r going thru... sending pixie dust ur way hoping that you will get some sort of discount...and i know i said it a million times but i cant say it enough just keep calling eventually u will get the right CM!

Thanks for the encouragement...I guess I'll try that other number someone posted and if that doesn't pan out, I'll just let it lie. If I get an email, great. If not, I'm not going to keep worrying about this; it's too illogical to try to get a handle on

You'll save lots of $$$ on food.
