Received a PIN today...what to do what to do

[Jessica Meier]

We were planning a trip in October 2015 to return home. Today I received a PIN code for early and late Spring. So now I am debating if the extra savings is worth moving it up. And worrying we may not have time to save to pay it all off. Sigh....

The dates included in PIN are:

1/5-3/21/2015 and 4/9-5/31/2015

Excludes Spring Break for us.
School lets out for Summer 5/21 but then you run into Memorial Day Craziness. Husband said he could swing it at work before March. Daughter is in kindergarten and teacher will be out on maternity leave during Feb and March.

Thank you SO MUCH for saying this! I would have never thought to call since everything I have ever read online said you can't do this. Just called and got a VERY nice agent and he was able to apply the PIN--got 35% off for Wilderness Lodge for Memorial Day! So excited!

Yay! I think as long as they can make money, they don't care who uses it.
I had read on another site that someone used a pin code that was addressed to the former home owners and Disney let them have it.
So I figured why wouldn't I be able to use my moms. And it worked. Glad it worked out for you too.

A lot depends on the agent. Some will and some wont.

We received one too. Tempted...but I am really thinking europe or vegas next year...if we can afford it...and no terrorism. Plus, there is nothing that new at WDW.

Well, I know for a fact when you book the pin code online, the person assigned the pin does not need to be listed on the reservation.
We had to call since we already had a package booked on a bounce back.

It seems they will mail all materials to that person, though. If you call and get the PIN reassigned, that issue disappears.

Are you sure?... Even though they linked the pin to my account. I still always had to provide my mothers name and address to pull up the pin over the phone or online.
And When I would go to go https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/pin-enter/ while logged in my account, when I played around with the pin online it automatically applied all my info when I went to book it online, my mailing and billing address when reserving the package.

Thank you Jessica for this info! I went on my email looking for the offer and nothing! I called and I had one too! I already have a reservation made for April 21-29 at a value with military discount but I have been sitting on the fence about upgrading to a moderate. Of course of all weeks my travel agent is on a cruise and won't be back until next week. I ended up calling back and was told that she has 30 days to take over the booking so I booked a second vacation for CBR, added my flight, celebration, building request. I am 10 days away from making ADRs so if you are going earlier your 180 day mark most likely passed by now. That's a great offer. Thank you again!

When I went online last week, there was a clear message that materials would be sent to my father-in-law if we used the PIN. Not an issue now since the reservation agent got the PIN switched to my account.

I got the same pin. We are gonna use it for our planning session the first full week of January.

interesting... i guess one could book it under that address then call or just edit the address... idk, since i didnt book online. But that's interesting.

Glad we could help. We are being financially responsible and keeping our plans for next fall. Praying for another offer but if not we will have money to pay it off before we go. But so happy I could spread some pixie dust?!

Also, make sure that if you go in the spring that you're not already beyond the 180 day mark for dining reservations.
