Please help what should I be looking for?

[DisneyMommy1022]

OK I am new to this Disney World thing sooo my question is what promo, pin, etc. should I be looking or hoping for??? We are a Family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids 8,5,2. We are staying at POP from May 28th ~ June 5th 2010. We will also have two other rooms (Grand Gathering). One will be a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids 9 and 7. The last room will be 2 adults. Can you use more then one offer at one time like lets say buy 4 get 3 and free dinning or a 40% pin? Just trying to figure out what is best for our group. Thanks for the help in making me understand how this all works!! Oh yeah I have AAA to is that worth it to us? My reservation right now is with Disney.

You can call and see if there are AAA rates available for 2010 (I'm not sure how AAA works) and if so have them applied to your reservation. You may be able to get them for the other two as well, again I don't know how AAA works.

For a PIN, you will either get that in the mail or via email, and it will be from Disney Destinations. They are specific to your household, and you can have 3 rooms applied to that special code, so you can get all the three of the rooms the discount, provided there is availability (call as soon as you get it!).

For discounts like the 4/3 deal or free dining, those are typically general public discounts, meaning anyone who books can use them. Again, call as soon as you see it announced (lurking around here will give you a good heads up as to when they are offered!) and ask them to apply them to your existing ressies. They are based on availability of the resort, so sometimes if you wait to long, your week or resort may be gone/full and you might need to work some other options. However if you call early enough for a general public discount code you should be okay.

Oh, and if you go with AAA they will take over the ressies as your TA, and should be on the lookout for better discounts (I hope they would do that, anyway... I know I do, as it is part of my services as your TA!)

To marcielm. First thanks for the advice about the codes. Second, the shirts you kids are wearing in the photo are adorable. Where can I find something like that or did you make them? If so, was there a template or pattern number I can download or purchase? Let me know

You're welcome about the codes! I did make the kids' shirts. There is a template of the Mickey head somewhere (I'll look for the link and post it to you if I find it again) and then the hat is just a triangle turned a little cockeyed. .

Okay, I couldn't find the thread, but I did still have the images on my computer, so I uploaded it to my photobucket.
