I have been receiving Disney PINs in the mail ever since our last trip in 2013. We are planning on another trip Jan 31 - Feb 9 (already in the deep planning stages. :cool1:) I read that the only free dining that was out that time of year in 2014 was getting it by PIN. Since I have been receiving the PINs I feel confident I will be getting whatever discounts they will be offering for that time period via this method. The big question is: Should I book before the PINs would be coming out, or should I wait and see if I get a PIN and book then? Will having something booked make them not send the PIN? Is there really any advantage to booking ASAP? We are planning on staying at Coronado and that time of year I'm really not that concerned with it getting booked up. I would lose my 190 day ADR option though as it seems like most discounts are sent around October for when we are planning on staying. I think I may be rambling now, thanks for your opinions!!!
 
There's no rhyme or reason to getting PINs. Just because you've been having good luck with getting PINs in the past, doesn't mean you'll get one for your upcoming trip. If the only way you would book is with a discount, it's better not to book now, because Disney offers discounts to fill rooms. If they're filling up rooms without discounts, they have no incentive to offer them.
