I need to get this pin code!!!!!! I already paid in full our upcoming october trip..do you think this would hinder me from receiving a pin? I almost want to cancel and rebook just to see what would happen.

I did the exact same thing. I feel your pain! We booked this trip back in March and we have a grand gathering going from the 15-23. Since it's not just a couple of us going, we all needed to pick a week in October and we decided on this one (trying to stay away from Columbus Day) and it's got to be the worst one for trying to get a discount. So, I really don't want to cancel, then rebook since we're in the grand gathering......

I booked ours in March also including flight. And for the same dates almost ! 15-22 weird eh, lol. Good luck to us all tomorrow we'll see.

Did you mean "same pin code as AP "? If not, please share? . I would really like a good code!

Nope I meant the same pin code offer as the previous posters: 25% off Values/Mods, 35% off Deluxe/Villas.

Sorry for any confusion.

I broke down and called to see what was available at the WL for AP codes. I was tempted to get an AP, just to get the discount, but there is nothing available during my time. So, I think I am resolved to pay rake rate.

Our dates are 10/1 thru 10/6. Of course, free dining during our travel is only for check-ins beginning on 10/2 Can't change our arrival date due to booked air travel. So, what do y'all think about this idea... double-book our first night at another Disney resort and hold it until we see whether or not a discount covering a 10/1 check-in will apply... If one is released for a 10/1 check-in (either resort discount or free dining), then we cancel the single night reservation at the alternate property... if a discount is not released, we change our BLT check-in to 10/2 and take the free dining (while staying at the alternate property the 1st night). What do you think? Is this a good "just in case" plan? We would book the other property in my Mom's name (who is traveling with us), just to "cover our tracks."

I am starting to think there will be no October GP room only discount But I've come to terms with paying the rate I am and at least I got a AAA discount. I'm still hoping for a discount but am not holding my breath.

Well I give up. I am at the BCV-Studio from 9/28 to 10/2 with a discount.
I needed 10/2 as an extra night. As everyone knows there is no AP rate for 10/2. I changed my BCV reservation to have 3 nights at BCV, 9/28 to 10/1, then an AP rate at Pop for 10/1 and a rack rate at Pop for 10/2.
We will be off property all day Sunday 10/2 visiting family, so I figure I'll get two nights at Pop for the price of one room at BCV Studio. We have to leave property on 10/2 by 10AM to catch DME back to the airport.
The first time I called to make the change they charged me RACK rate in a preferred room at Pop. I had to call back and get the AP rate for 10/1, and also changed to standard. You really have to watch your paperwork and be aware of what the RACK rates are. My first receipt says "AP rate" but it is at RACK rate. I now have a corrected email receipt. The website has been down for days so I can't even check online today.

Hi! Our dates are 9/30 - 10/8. In order for us to take advantage of the free dining, we have booked two reservations. One from 9/30-10/2 and the other from 10/2-10/8. It worked our perfect. I would recommend booking an onsite hotel for one night rack rate and then switching to the Free Dining reservation for the rest of your trip! Good luck! Either way you are going to Disney World and that is great!!!

Congrats on your PIN, nursemelis!

Why would there be a correlation between reservations maintenance and a GP room discount? I hope you're right, though...

 

[GeminiAngel]

Hoping for a pin too. Oct 20-Oct 23
