subbing. waiting to see if free dining code will come out for sept for my brother....

Just wondering, what do you really think is the chance that you would have a special pin code by your name when you call for a reservation? Or do you think that the CM has the power to just give you one just because.

Then I must not make a good impression.... I've called a couple of times... and NO pin.

Regardless, the pins are designed to GET you to call. It would be counterproductive of them to just offer them to people who are ALREADY calling.....

Maybe I should just play hard to get.....

ACTUALLY... I noticed that after I signed up for the website and priced some vacations and then DID NOT GO BACK for quite a while (2 weeks?...yes, that's a long time for me!) is when I had pins sent to me. (many, like 6!...one of which we booked, free QSDP in Sept)

Now I'm on there all the time looking for hours and pricing other things I haven't had a pin or anything sent to me since the end of Jan??? Could just be a coincidence, but maybe if you go away for a while the computer keeps track and sends out something to entice you???

If only....

Actually I did that without trying. I had saved a bunch of trips, then kind of forgot about it for a while, at least a month. Then I called... nothing.... saved more trips.... still nothing.....

I posted this elsewhere, but I've been trying to get the free dining pin, so I priced out all the vacations and saved them, ordered maps, got the video and stayed off for a while. Then I got an email from them this morning with my PIN. Of course it's not the pin that I want. It's the same pin that they sent me last month.lol. Don't they see my spending habits at all? I've actually NEVER visited without free dining. lol. I have a big family with kids that eat a TON (think teenage boy) and you just can't beat the free dining for that. Usually I take them on a trip and just can't feed them enough. They are always hungry. The funny thing is that they are all really tiny. My dd (15) teacher asked her if she was anorexic (because of her size) and she about fell off the chair in laughter. Not that eating disorders are funny... just that she eats so much that someone thinking that of her sounded rediculous. So, here's hoping for free dining. I'd rather have a pin so that I can book now and get my dining reservations at 180 days, but I'll also be hoping for a public offer for free dining in case I never get the PIN.

About calling to see if a pin is attached to your name - what do you say exactly? Just ask that question?

I called to make a reservation.... I was already in the middle of the reservation process when the CM said, "Trisha, a lot of people call and ask if they have a pin code attached to their name."

So I asked, "Do I have a pin code attached to my name?"

She said, "YES!"

Of course... it wasn't for my dates though. lol

Hoping for FREE DINING in September 2010!

Well I did not want to miss the 180 day window for ADR so I took the dive today and made my reservations for 06 SEP 10 thru 13 SEP 10 at CBR for 2 adults, 2 kids. It's the first time we take the little ones. I hope if and when they offer the free dinning that I can get the discount applied to my reservation.

In any case on 10 MAR 10 @ 5:30AM CST I'll be getting turning on my PC and getting ready for the 6AM online start time to do ADRs for the trip.

Guess I need to update my signature with a count-down image now.

Based on this thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2401308 it looks like we won't know about SEP 2010 offers until 30 MAR 10 at the earliest!

Ok so here is a dumb one that I probably should know the answer to but I dont. We are booked for a trip in Sept that we booked on a bounceback last Sept when we were there. We are staying on the free dining.

My question is, if some other kind of discount comes up for the dates we are there can we use it or are we already considered to be on a discount where we booked a bounceback?

I dont know if that would be considered as double dipping but I would love to get even more of a discount besides free dining if possible.

We called to confirm our reservation for September, ask if we have a pin. The CM told us that because we are AP holders, our chances of ever getting a pin, were slim to none. She told us that an AP pass usually gave a better discount anyway.

My understanding is that you can only have 'one' discount applied to your package at any one time. So in your case you right now have the free dinning plan. Say for SEP 10 they offer $700 cash back if you stay 7 nights and they offer this discount on say 01 APR 10. You can call on that day or after (**) and have your package switched over to that new discount but you will lose your free dinning.

(**) There are only a certain number of "slots" available for each discount so if you were to call say in 31 JUl 10 in the example above to get the $700 cash offer they may tell you it's not possible since the offer may have already been booked up (ie. the amount of discounts allowed has been reached) so in that case you would have to keep your free dinning.

Sorry, but no. Even if it's a bounceback, it's a discount, and you can only apply one at a time. If you find something you like better, you can change, but it would remove the free dining.

I'll sub too, we have a PIN code (20/30/40) but are looking for free dining.
Good Luck to us all!

Disney and got a 30% off code! We are staying at a value resort so its better than the percent off specials they are running. Yah! Its not free dining but hey it is a discount! Still hoping for free dining but I will take 30% off. Had DBf call and he had free quick service dining but it expired July 3 so no go. Call Disney and see....you might have one attached!

This is why we can only take the kids during free dining. We have 3 and my almost teenage boy eats enough for 3 adults. We almost can't make a different vacation work - how would we feed him?

I am waiting for some sort of discount for Sept. 11-18!!! I will not complain.....please, FD or a room discount. I did receive a pin for QSD, but it expires on July 3. I don't believe that QSD was worth going to WDW during the summer time......to hot,nd extremely long lines! Let's keep our fingers cross that they will come out with FD at the end of this month or the beginning of April.
