saved offer on wdw website & pin

[chipsgirl1030]

I've been trying to get a pin code for the last couple of trips now by ordering the planning dvd and saving offers on the wdw planning website. I had read this might increase the chance and it can't hurt to try right. NO Luck

The other day at work a co-worker was saying her family had been discussing going back to Disney, it's been awhile and her daughters "want to do it right". Translate that into staying on the monorail line. I was giving her pointers, looking at prices online etc. I told her about the different discounts and told her about the pin. I explained how it worked and said some people say if you save an offer you may get a pin. Like this: I signed on the the wdw website and put in a date for my usual fall vacation time listing the Poly.

Lo and behold, yesterday I received a pin code. The first time ever. It gave me a # but did not say what it was for. I called today and was told it was for 20% off resort until the end of the year and had to be booked by 7/4/12. ( as a side note, those of you who call and ask if you have a pin attached and are told no, I told the cm I had a pin and she said she did not find anything, it was only after I gave the the # i was sent that she could look it up. don't know what thats about)

The bad new is: I wasn't planning to go this fall, as I just went in March to take a friend who wanted to go and wanted someone to go with. I was more than willing to help not really thinking it would cost me my annual Birthday/Halloween/ Food & Wine fest trip

Now my wheels are spinning. How can I swing this trip. Even with the discount it's out of my budget. I priced the value resorts. It isn't just the hotel but all the extras (airfare, park ticket, food etc).

It's my first and maybe only pin I'll ever get! I want to use it. Oh well, I still have time to decide and try to figure it out.

I also signed into my wdw account, and priced out a trip for August (the time we usually go, but was only pricing out the trip).

I did not save the offer or anything, and yesterday I received a pin in the mail. It even says "We're thrilled to hear you and your family want to come see us again"......."thinking about in August".....

So i am assuming it knew that I put in the August date, and gave me play!stay!dine! offer.

Never had this happen before!

Problem is we are not planning on going and can't afford it, and now this has me thinking

When you say through the end of the year, do you mean 12/31? Or does it end sooner than that?

Maybe bbok it and hope for a bigger discount like FDing or a 30%?

yes, the discount is good until 12/31/12. It just needs to be booked by 7/4/12

I was panning a trip with a friend who was visiting her son, but she is not a Disney lover like me so she just wanted to do Universal. I say it's ridiculous and a waste of time to go to Florida and not go to Disney. So I was pricing out the hotels in the hopes I could arrange some time at Disney for myself ... If I could afford it. Lo and behold I got a pin in the mail today for 5nights/6days value, tickets, meal plan so I may be able to work something out..my friend can't pass up a good deal. Plus she knows I'm crazy for Disney

I started a Disney account for my mom last week because she is coming on our December trip. In the last three days she has gotten two PINs... crazy!
