Please don't give up!!

I checked both my emails everyday and nothing . I checked my mailbox everyday and nothing ....

Today I called Disney and I had the 40% code! Whoo Hoo! I'm going to Disney World! I never get codes so I think if you haven't gotten one yet you should call and check.

Good luck everyone!

Did you ask them to check your name?

 

[Shell0616]

Actually the cast member looked for me without me even asking. I was just about to ask him to look when he said "let me check your information and see if you have any deals on your account"

He was very nice. I know that isn't always the case so if you don't get someone helpful I would just call back and get someone else.....

What number are you calling? I've called twice this week and was told both times they can't check anymore.

That is kind of what I ran into this week. The CM said, we don't find deals that way any more! I know it's not true..

 

[LuvsTinker]

Last year when I called to make ressies, I asked about checking a code for me. The CM said there was none - I booked anyway.

The very next day I got the 40% postcard in the snail mail!

I rebooked

So what's the key - to keep calling til you get a nice CM? I called yesterday and she said you either get a pin my smail mail or email and didn't offer to check under my name at all. Does it just depend on who you're talking to?

I'm always scared I'm going to call back and get the same CM and they'll know I just called!

Oh boy, I'm sooooo glad I found your message! I'm currently "on hold" with WDW. This is my first time calling to check code status. Keep your fingers crossed for me. They are experiencing "heavier than normal" call volumes at this time...so who knows how long I can hold.

Here's hoping for a friendly helpful CM -- but if their call volumes are really heavy they probably don't want to waste time on that stuff. Can they just give me a PIN then so I can book online?? Id offer to do that instead of taking up more of their time.

Oh, now I'm nervous!!

 

[mommy*RN]

No code under me or my DH's name.

Here's what I did and what I said -- so others of you can hopefully try it too...

I called the 407 939 6244 number.
When the CM answered I told her that recently a few friends of ours had received a mailing both in the mail and through email with a 40% off code. I was hoping she could check our address/names because we have a really good spam filter that tends to block even normal messages. She checked under my name and said nope. I then asked her if anything would show for DH in that search. She said it normally would, but she would check his name too. Nothing.

I hope this helps someone get a code since it wasn't my turn!

Hi everyone!

The number I called was 1-407-934-7639. I was on hold forever but I didn't mind because I love listening to the Disney music .

I told them that a friend ( we are all friends here right?) had gotten a post card in the mail with a discount code and I wanted to know if I could use it. He said no but then said he would look to see if I had the discount too. He looked and I did. He said they send them out randomly and other than make she they have your info correct there isn't anything you can do to give yourself a better chance of getting one.

I booked right away for POR but I am actually still debating between the CBR and POR.

Good luck guys. Keep calling and I hope you all get the code!!

 

[lweiler]

How exactly do the codes work - is there a specific date range that you must stay?

We took our first trip in Sept, and my kids are dying to go back, but DH isn't convinced. If we had a 40% code, I might be able to convince him!

 

[Disneynutbsv]

Well, I tried, I called for everyone that lives in the household and there was no code The CM was very helpful though...

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

I just called .... they checked my name and my dh's... nothing. Bummer! There wouldn't be a code for a child, would there?? I just saw the thread about checking your maiden name...but I don't know if I should call back again!!

Did all the codes come out on the same day or are people still getting them?

Good luck to everyone!!

 

[mommy*RN]

Ooo, good question! I want to know too!

Hmm... I called twice this week and got the same answer as BabyRN- that since they updated the system, they can't check for PINS... guess I'll try again, although the holds lately have been forever- when I don't get the "all circuits are busy" .

Hearing this makes me wonder if they actually check for a code when I call. I'll keep trying with you! Seems silly if they link a PIN to your name they can't take the few minutes to check...especially if it will increase the business to the parks -- which is why they are sending out the codes to begin with.

Wow...that might be worth testing out.

I know someone who received an email 40% code...I'm hoping we get one because we weren't able to visit Disney at all last year because we had to have a tree removed from our front lawn that died and we needed to put a driveway in. With no codes or deals, we couldn't afford it. We refinanced our mortgage recently and were hoping to use the little bit of cash we got back for an April/May Disney trip, but, it's not looking good...air fare is ridiculous, so if we could get a 40% discount with Disney, that would balance out the high air fare and....we'd be goin' to Disney World!!! LOL!

Keeping my fingers crossed and going to get my cell phone....it's hard to dial with your fingers crossed!!
