Please don't give up!!

Well I called and got through fairly quickly - within minutes. Got an extremely sweet and nice CM (I think his name was Benjamin - we had a bad phone connection) who checked my name and low and behold, I had a 40% code on my name!! Unfortunately, it's not available for the week we wanted to go, but he dug around and found us a couple other deals and we might end up taking one of them and going!! We're going to decide later tonight. He said the 40% code was good until December, but there are some blacked out dates.

So I must agree with the others when they say call and ask if you have a code!! Cuz they had all of my info correct and I check my email and snail mail every day and haven't gotten anything from Disney. I always check my spam folder every day, too, before deleting it and nothing was ever there from Disney, either.

We got 2 emails with the 40% code. One in our home email and one in my work email (and I don't remember ever giving them my work email).

We are passing on 40% and waiting for free dining anyway

I'm trying to call again, on hold right now. I haven't even gotten my January Disney "hello" yet this month! I wonder if something is going on with my email...

I think I am in an exclusive club of people who will never get this 40% of code. I have tried everything: signing up for a DVD, double-checking my preferences for e-mail, mail, etc. I have called two times and nothing! The CM I talked to said they will be releasing more codes this week so fingers crossed.... I am going to call again today. For those who haven't got one but continue to call please keep us posted...

Okay here's what I just did:
I called and got a very helpful CM, in fact the nicest one I think I've ever gotten. Anyway, I explained to her that my computer was hit with a virus a couple months ago and my husband put a very strong spam filter on it, and that I haven't even gotten my monthly "hello". That part is true. Anyway, I asked her to make sure she had my correct info. She had my contact info correct, but didn't have that we were there last April. She seemed surprised by that and said "let me just update this for you". So when she was done, I asked if she could check to see if I had any pins associated with my name seeing that I wasn't receiving any in so long, and that I used to get them in my monthly emails. That part is also true. I told her the last pin I remembered receiving was in November and was for free dining for the rest of the year. She verified that I actually really did have that pin offered. She also asked who "Baby" was listed on my info. I explained we were expecting our 4th baby in March and were going to come down in April, but my hours were cut back at work and that my husband said the only way we could go this year was if we went in the fall and if we had some sort of discount. So, she checked, and lo and behold I had a pin! I almost wonder if they can somehow generate one for you, because they last time I had someone check, about a week ago if that, I didn't have one. She said she couldn't tell me what the percentage off was and that is was room only, but she said you can add other things to it to make it a package. I immediately called my TA with the pin. She seems to think that I can't add dining to it, but she is checking. Here's hoping to it being 40% off!!! All I know right now is that it is good until 12/31/09!

Last year, I received my code on Jan. 13th

Still patiently waiting a couple more days to see what happens.

My pin is for 20% off, which is better than nothing, but there's black out dates that fall when we were going to go!! Now I don't know what to do. If I go earlier, I could hit the free dining which is better, if they offer it. I didn't want to go too early though. I don't want to be there for Halloween because believe it or not, my kids don't want to miss their Halloween parties!! LOL!! I didn't want to go in November because we're going on a Disney cruise in Oct. 2010, and we drive down to Fl. from NY...that's too much driving!! Now I don't know what to do!!

What about MNSSHP? Your kids might be cool with missing parties if you tell them your going to do Halloween Mickey style. We went in 2006 and LOVED it. The fireworks were awesome and the general ambiance. I'm hoping for an extension of the free dining but not holding my breath...

I just called. I got a very nice CM. He took my phone number, name, address and email. Nothing

We were hoping to go in Nov. I've received nothing in an email or postcard. No one I know who goes to Disney received anything, either.

Well when I booked my cruise for 2010, I asked them how they felt about being on the cruise for Halloween (the cruise actually starts on Halloween!!) My oldest child who is 10 is the one who actually said he didn't want to miss the Halloween parties at school!! My only way around it was the fact that Halloween is on a Sunday next year, so Friday will be their party and they won't miss school. I actually do want to go to MNSSHP, which is why I picked October to go. Now I don't know what to do!!! I can't talk to my husband about it because he gets annoyed , so I basically just have to do my own thing and he'll come along for the ride!

How lucky you are. I can't wait to check my email too. Hoping that I also get a 40% because it really helps.
