Sniff..sniff....Whah!! What about US?

Hi Everyone!!
This whole code thingy gets me sad- I've been 10 times, always booking thru a WDW travel agent, and yet to get a code... We've gotten their DVDS, planning stuff, maps...you name it! How the heck does one get the holy grail of codes???

Thank you Dis-ers!!

I'd start booking directly with WDW instead of a travel agent. Do you ever save vacations on the website? I think that is how I get mine.

I always book thru Disney, do all the other things mentioned on the boards and this will be our 17th or 18th trip.....Never a PIN code. Who knows how it works, but I'll just keep trying!!!

When I saw the subject line of your post I thought it was What About U.S.

I have been waiting patiently for a code/discount (hopefully free dining) for Nov. I did a search last week on Disney discounts and came across a Disney International site with a promotion for Free Dining through the end of 2012 for the UK. I know that UK visitors spend more and stay longer than US visitors but for once I would just love to have a deal like they get. With some of the packages besides Free Dining they also get $150 Disney gift card to spend and preferred seating for fireworks among other benefits.

I would be happy to settle for just the free dining!

In most cases, the same deal in the pin code is released to the public eventually.

I feel your pain! Its hard to not get jealous when the PINs are going out to everyone (but us, lol)

I have saved packages, ordered the DVD, booked past trips through Disney, and I do not think that any of those things, is sufficient to get a PIN code. Otherwise, many more of us would have them. Maybe for some its sufficient, but not for the rest of us.

Its also apparently not necessary, since some people who have never even visited the WDW site have received PINs.

There is obviously some randomness/luck of the draw aspect to it. I just wish that they (Disney) would spread the PIN code love around more, so that people who get one (or more) every year will get a few less so others can get one on occasion.



Good luck to us all!

I totally agree, and I hate to whine and act like I'm 2, but I reallllllllllllllllllllllly,reallllllllllllllllllllly,realllllllllllllllllllllllllly want this pin code!

My DH gets them all the time. The funny part is he has never booked a trip...it's always me. He has never even been on the WDW website. I do all the usual stuff to get the codes....save trips, order the DVD, sign up for things etc. So far I have received NOTHING.

The bad part is that I go there often without him.....so I can't use the PIN.

 

[TyTysMommy]

I always book through a TA and I've gotten several codes. Always at a time I can't use them, though.

 

[lovesdumbo]

I think I go to WDW too much for them to offer me a code. They know that I'm already coming.

Last May my friend's DH got a code and she & I went and left him at home. Have you called and asked? They said she could use it because she was in the same household (I'm sure same last name helped too...).

I feel your pain! We always book through Disney,I save vacations on site, order DVD's, have a Disney Visa, etc. and I have never gotten a code. We are going in June and I would love to have an FD code. I just wish I could be rewarded with a pin code at least once!!

 

[loganpaulsmom]

FYI.. I NEVER book through Disney (until this most recent trip booked for April).. I ALWAYS got pin codes (up until the a for mentioned trip in April).. this will be my 13th trip..

I have a friend, who has ALWAYS booked through Disney has been about 20 times but she swears she has a black mark on her name.. I guess she had a few issues in the past where she sent a letter or contacted someone at Disney and she swears that they put a little black mark next to her name indicating (trouble maker) and thus NO pins..

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

I always book our WDW vacays and pay for them with a credit card in my name. I NEVER get a code either.
However, everyone else in my family who has gone with me keep getting codes all the time.
I have a hunch that Disney KNOWS I'll be back - so why bother sending me a code? And as long as the other person in my family with the code comes along, I can use their code for booking purposes.
HTH.

 

[stitch34]

It seems you get them...and get them all the time.... or flat out never get them. why is that?

have had some sent to me for OTHER people who traveled with us and I booked their trip with us. But for me.. 11 trips since 2008... nope, not a single one comes to me.

Really annoys me when you know the pins are out there... and they can't honor it when you call and say hey, I know about XYZ deal.... I mean, if ask specifically for it, wish they would honor it.

I too wonder do I have some black mark next to my name, lol!?

Really want the free dining, and works with our dates.

I've called throughout the years... and never have a pin attached to my name. makes no sense? I know there are many others in the same boat as me. But just dont' get it. Those that get them seem to regularly get them... and those that don't... just don't ever.

Right there with you! We have been tons of times...signed up for everything...and still no codes in my email. I even took the time to take 2 different surveys while I was vacationing last year in hopes that it would help increase my chances...the only thing I ever end up with are emails about the current discount they are offering to everyone on their site...which I usually already know about.
