WTH? Two different PIN codes in less than 30 days!

[TotalSnowWhite]

Nay, I think it is really just random, because we were there last June, and have been booked for this June for a while now, until we changed it to May last month. So they already knew we were coming back.

I agree. I also got both offers, but we went in May and December last year and have a March trip booked. We booked the 4/3, too, since we will not have my 3-9 year olds. Of course, that would be the time to round up all the kids you knew and take them to Disney for free!!

We're going in October, as well, but we'll be using the military deals. So, I have no need for the two offers. Boo!! Oh, well...I did get to use of the three I got last year (two 30%s and a 40%!!) for YC.

We got the same two offers. We stayed in June last year. It would be great but this year its either the Disney Cruise (first timers for that) or the parks (kids eat, stay, play free) - we really cannot do both.

I have never been to Disney or gotten a pin code offer. I signed up for the free DVD 3 times under three email addresses. I sent a letter to Disney Destinations Marketing and asked to be put on the mailing list. Last month on all three of my email addresses, I got a 40% offer. Then yesterday, I got a 5 night 6 day offer with hotel, tickets, and dining for $794 per adult. My child is free. Sounds like a good deal, and I really want to go to Disney!

THose are the same ones that I got mailers for. FWIW, we have been going for over 10 years. For the longest time I always got mailers, rarely used them. After I applied one PIN code they continued to come in the mail until we went the Annual Pass route. For about 4 years after that, no mailers, I relied on general public codes, the AP codes or AAA. Then back in August I got one in the mail, but was unable to apply it to my existing BC reservation. I switched resorts several times before the trip and was finally able to use it for the GF for our November trip. Then in January the first 40% mailer, then the other day this one, even though our kids are no longer kids by Disney standard!

I was SOOO thrilled to get my first pin code -- the kids dine/play/stay free -- it gave me the fever again. BUT, the 4/3 advertised special ended up being $300 cheaper and gave us 3 more days! Are there pin codes out there that really give you a good deal, or are they just trying to give you the fever????

Well, if that's what it's for, it works!

But I'm confused...I got the kids dine/play/stay mailer today and the disney online res system is down tonight so I couldn't do any comparisons. How are you getting 3 more days? My mailer is for 6 days - is yours different? and are you including dining in the 4/3 and still coming out ahead? Sorry to bug ya, but like I said, I can't get in the disney site to investigate for myself, and I'm dying to see how good a deal this is! TIA!

4/3 gives you three days room and tickets free, the mailer with kids free doesn't say this but the dining actually goes by the number of nights booked, so if you plan to stay through the day you actually check out you will come up short on dining credits unless you didn't use them all earlier. I think where people are coming out ahead is if they do have small children that are included in the dining for $9.99 a day, once they become "adults" dining goes to around $40 a day for the plan with CS,TS and snack daily. For us dining cost us $160 a day and we can generally eat for less than that because most restaurants will allow our girls to still order from the childrens menu even they are a little oer the age limit if we are paying out of pocket. I hope this makes it a little clearer for you, but don't know if it answers your question.

I received the kids stay, play, and eat free. We have two kids, 5 and 7, and are staying at a value resort on the 4/3 deal (we added an extra night and are staying for 8 nights). The stay, play, and eat free deal is a better deal if you are staying at a value with 2 or more kids, but is not valid during our dates in June. It only runs through May 2nd.

Got them both and it made sense to use the 40% off

Your multiple pin offers are probably a result of the economy and the fact you haven't booked recently...they didn't ned to send them before when you always went and now they want you bad!

Nice theory, but I'm assuming pretty wrong. I received the kids stay, play dine offer last Nov/Dec, and about two weeks after I booked the 4/3 deal for June and had a ressie in December. During the December trip, I booked a bounce back in Sept and still have the ressie for June. The September trip is an adult only anniversary trip and the June trip is a family trip. I then received in the past month the kids stay, play & dine offer again (under much more restricted dates interestingly) and the $500 gift card offer.
