I know this topic has been discussed several times before but I can't seem to find the exact answer I'm looking for. My question is, has anyone received the 15 number PIN code for select Value resorts from $59 per night? Has anyone been able to get the discount AND free dining? We were initially told by a CM that we could use them together but later told no. If anyone has been able to get both the discount room rate and free dining, exactly how did you do this? We booked two adjoining rooms together. Would the discount apply to both rooms or just one?
Here is what happened:
About 4-5 months ago, we booked our hotel ressies at the Pop Century for Sep 12-Sep 22, 2007 and later got the free dining plan with it. We booked two adjoining rooms. We booked it through one of those Disney exclusive travel agents. We kind of regret this now as we have mastered the whole Disney reservation making thing. We've made all of our own dining reservations, bibbidi bobbidi boutique reservations and Mickey's not so scary Halloween party tickets ourselves. However, everything that we do related to our room must be done through our travel agent. This includes asking for specific requests, or buildings or whatever. We also are unable to look up our hotel ressies online. What's worse is our agent doesn't usually get back to us until days later after we leave several voicemails and emails.
Yesterday we received a postcard in the mail for select Disney Value Resorts from $59 per night. It gave a PIN which was 15 numbers long. Before reading the fine print, my wife called the number and asked if we could use it with the free dining plan and they said absolutely! Unfortunately we could not change the ressie ourselves because we booked through a Disney travel agent. The CM asked us to go through our travel agent to do it. Our travel agent emailed us back and said she didn't think it was possible but she'd get back to us. She hasn't gotten back to us as of yet.
So, my wife called Disney reservations back. Our plan was to book the trip ourselves using the code and get the dining plan and then cancel our ressies that we made with our travel agent. This time however, the CM we spoke with said we could NOT use the discount room code with the dining plan. I called the back again today and asked them and they again said we could not use the code and the free dining plan. I asked her what the first CM may have been looking at which would have allowed us to use both and she said she didnt know. I asked her if there was any other room discount code we could use with the free dining plan and she said no.
My question is, has anyone experienced this before with the 15 number PIN code for select Value resorts from $59 per night. Has anyone been able to get the discount AND free dining? If so, exactly how did you do this? We booked two adjoining rooms together. Would the discount apply to both rooms or just one?
