Nevermind.

It was in September last year but I don't think they have released the dates for this year yet.

Last year it was September 11th and 12th.

Is there already a thread or do we need one? I'm new to this area of the DIS but I'm definitely looking for a code for this time of year

I'm greedy because we already got the free dining bounceback (again) but we're looking to upgrade our stay and this would definitely be possible with a good code.

Anyone else?

Our family of 5 booked Sept. 3 -13 POR Free dinning pin We never got a bounceback last Sept. when we went ...bummer I keep going back and forth Poly POR Poly POR never stayed at POR wanted to try something new.

If they are sending free dining pin codes to only a few people for August/September right now...what are the odds that there would also be free dining for the public released later on?

My guess is b/c of the regular dining plan pins..they may only offer free quick service dining plans to the public during that time frame?...

Hello all. This is my first post, so I hope it works. We are also planning on going in September. This will be our 4th trip over the last 12 years. I called yesterday, and the CM said that I had no code. I keep checking email, but nothing yet. I keep hoping for free dining!

I am booked with the 20/30.49 but hoping for free dining - with a family of 7 that would be our best deal

Many are left wondering cuz the pin i got was for free QSD with value resorts and regular dinning plan with mod resorts. This will be interesting to watch. I would think they are sure to offter some kind of free dinning this april, they have done it last 4 years.

I'm confused. Please can someone help. I am eager to book our September trip for the week of Sept 26th - Sept 29th, 2010. We are looking to stay at the Wilderness Lodge and we have a great price. I would like the free dining and understand that the promotion might be released sometime in April. That's a long time to wait to book... the part that confuses me are pin codes. I keep reading about them and find it confusing. Do you book and then your given a pin code?

PIN codes are discounts bestowed upon individuals by Disney. You get an email or post card with a code, but it's not transferrable.

People are getting Free dining codes, but it will probably still be announced for general public later.

Keep in mind that if you take the free dining plan, you will give up the "great rate" you got at Wilderness Lodge. You have to pay full rack rate to get the Free Dining.

You can book something now but apply a discount code to it later, but only one discount code can be applied. And you can only "add" it to an existing reservation if there is availability at that resort for the discount in question. For example, they only book so many rooms for free dining at a given resort. Once that's full, even if you have another reservation at the same resort it cannot be applied.

Make sense???

Just keep watching the boards here. You'll know about the new discounts before the vast majority of the world!

NO, no one knows how Disney send those e-mails, it can be because your are a repeated guest, it can be because it has been a long time you don't reserve in a Disney Resort, or just because you subscribe to the website or you order a planning DVD. No one knows how the marketing department do that. But I can tell you, register on the disneyworld.com website, ask to receive promotions and you can also order a DVD to plan your vacation. This will not assure you will have a PIN code but someday you will receive it as long as Disney has your e-mail and your address. I you have booked in the past thru Disney, you can call and ask a cast member if theres is a PIN attached to your name and they will look for it on the system.

Speaking about your upcoming trip on September, you can book the Wilderness Lodge right now and just put the 200 deposit if it's a vacation package or the 1 night deposit if it's a room only. Later if there is a general promo you can change the reservation to apply the new promo and you would lower your rate also If you receive a PIN you can apply it to your existing reservation.

Good luck and hope you receive a PIN or promotion shortly!!!!

New poster here....

We are looking to go at the beginning of September. We went mid-September last year since both of our daughters birthdays are in September. My youngest will be 3 on 9/11 so I'm planning on going the very first week so that she is still free :lol:

Been trying for a pin. I'd like to get anything at this point. Percentage off of a resort or free dining... but no pin anywhere and I've been trying everything.

Last year we booked only a value with free dining but ended up getting some sort of code/discount to upgrade to Saratoga Resort for free so we were lucky enough to stay at a deluxe resort last year. I'd love to stay at a deluxe this year but I am pregnant and am due in July so saving up the extra money isn't really feasible this year. We will be staying at a Value or a Moderate unless again, we are upgraded. Next year, we are purchasing a DVC.

I just received a pin for 40% for disney deluxe resorts and 45 % on deluxe villas from august 15 thru december 18, excluding the week of thanksgiving. And i must reserved thru october 9th.

Can you imagine 40% again for the resort hotels!!!!! I just reserved my hotel for next may with my 42% florida resident discount.

 

[julirina]

FINALLY got a pin postcard the other day...UGH! It's the Alice one (30/35/40 good through June). Doesn't help me at all for September, but at least I know I'm in the loop! Still praying that somehow my name or dh's gets on the list for the FD pin. Fingers crossed!

 

[earthiejen]

I got a pin for free quick service dining for september. keep checking emails!!

 

[g3pak]

This is weird. We also want to go the last week of Sept. I have never received a pin before- but a couple of months ago we got the 20/30/40 pin. I booked at POP, and then yesterday I got a "pay for 3 nights get the 4th free plus a 100/200/300 gift card." How weird to get another pin after we booked. I called today to see if I had the FD- that is what I really want, and the CM said those just started going out.

 

[amshowers]

Yeah, I got one for free dining for moderate or above and free quick service for value. Dates are from 8/15-10/02, so basically free dining just I can book a little bit earlier.

 

[EeyoreFan19]

Does anyone know if you can receive an email with a pin any day? Or is it just on certain days that they are sent (like once a month). From what I am reading here, it seems like most everyone received the FD pin on 01/20. I'm still waiting and hoping!
