Welcome to the Disboards Young Family! What part of Vermont are you from? My hubby is from Sharon, VT area with family members still living there. We travel up there every summer.
Anyways, on to the discussion of pin codes. There's no true rhyme or reason to how to get the much sought after Pin Codes. The CM I spoke with said names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc that receive the pin codes are randomly drawn. Could be drawn from a pool of certain states, how many times you've been, when the last time you traveled, etc. I do know that last year we had booked 2 rooms...one for the children with my oldest daughter as the lead person for their room and one for us adults. Since we placed my daughter as the lead person this would have been her first "official" visit as being an adult with the reservation in her name. Since then she has received 5 different pin codes within just a few short months. They had my son's birth date incorrect...they had him down as a paying adult when he's only 13. Since then he has received 2 pin codes in his name.
Be sure to log onto Disney's website and register to have emails and newsletters to be mailed to you. While logged on start planning a vacation and hit save quote. This has generated some pin codes to be mailed. Also requesting a planning DVD and maps to be mailed has generated pin codes as well.
