A friend just sent me their email with the PIN. They can't go.
Can I use their PIN to get the deal?

While it could be possible, I'd be surprised if you are getting free dining on top of a room discount. Assuming there are two adults on your ressie, the dining plan would be a little over $300 for 4 nights. So if they actually tacked free dining on top of your existing package, your credit should have been more. Regardless, congrats on saving even more money!
I'm not seeing that as much of a deal! $63 per person, based on a family of 4.....so that would be $252 per day for this family.
Even if you assume the WORST scenario for this....that is that the family of 4 is made up of everyone being over 10 years old, therefore an adult for dining purposes......that's $38 dining x 4 people or $152 a day for the dining....that means that the room cost is $100. THAT is no bargain for a value room. And if you assume that the family has even one of those kids under age 10, that would make the value room cost $128 a night. That's just barely a bargain room rate for a moderate, thats over rack rate for a value. Throw the second kid in as a dining child, and of course it's only gonna get worse.
Sounds to me like Disney is having a LOT of trouble filling their hotels during this month....perhaps the 4 swirling storms currently threatening their state is causing people to cancel???![]()
Personally, I'd much rather go at a less hot, humid and stormy time and pay for my own dining plan......even at rack rate it would be equal the cost but much better in terms of weather! Throw in a AAA or other discount and it's all around better deal!
OK that's great you guys got all these discounts, we just returned & have nothing! Nothing in the room either. Anyone know how that works?
I just called to see if I could apply my new pin to the existing reservation, and they applied it saving me another $406! That makes my total savings $859!
We now have CSR, 6nts,PH, Dining for 2 adults, DD10 and DD6 for $2088.
I told the Cm he absolutely made my day. We have already paid in full so he said they would refund my credit card. Good luck and fairy dust to all of you! I hope you all get great deals too!

Don't ask me why, but I've been trying to figure out where the numbers are coming from with this new FREE dining pin...call me a math geek! It looks like it may be giving you value season rack rate on rooms even if the dates fall into regular season. In the case above, if you price a standard room at CSR on the WDW site for 6 nights with 6-day PH tix during value season...the price comes out to $2088 and some change.
Now I could be totally wrong, but just thought I'd throw that out as a possibility for anyone who was trying to determine which was the better deal.
Are you pricing with PH tix? I believe the email I got said "no hopping" included.I just called to see if I could apply my new pin to the existing reservation, and they applied it saving me another $406! That makes my total savings $859!

To the pp who asked about using a friends PIN, the answer is NO. They are tied to your name and address and are non transferable. Sorry.

I did price with the PH tix because toothfairy said they had PH's on their package. I'm sure PH are not included in the $63/per person price, but can be added on to the package.
Has anyone that has gotten the pin code called to see about the cost of booking the trip with just two adults..and what that cost would be?
