PIN when already booked?

[kleigh1969]

I have been receiving a steady stream of PINs over the last year or so - that I unfortunately haven't been able to use.

Now we are taking a trip and it would be nice to get a PIN for it (I realize I may not get one), but it's not a deal-breaker if we don't. My husband thinks I should just book the hotel we want at full price, to make sure we get it, and just see if a PIN comes later.

Here is my question. Why would Disney send me a PIN if I am already booked?

Has anyone ever received a PIN when you already have your trip booked? Or do you have zero chance of getting one if you already have a trip planned?

Thanks!

There is no rhyme or reason as to who gets pins and who doesn't, so you have just as much chance of getting a pin with having a trip booked as someone who doesn't have one booked . If you have your dates and know where you want to stay and are going regardless of whether or not you get a discount, I would book now to get make sure you get exactly what you want .

It really depends. We never got one before but this trip we did. We already booked it and about 2 weeks later we got a pin for a free upgrade to water parks fun and more on our tickets and a whopping $27 dollars off our package lol. Just keep your eyes peeled!!

Thanks. I'll just book it. I really want Coronado - we stayed there for the first time last year and loved it - and I think I would be disappointed if we couldn't get it because I waited around too long.

Also, we are only staying 4 nights so although a PIN would be nice, 4 nights in a moderate is within my budget even at full price. It's just fun to save money!

I booked wilderness for this August with 5% off and a week later got a pin for 30% percent off. I applied it and I felt lucky.
