Saving Money at Disney-Disney Pin Codes

Disney pin codes are the secret to saving money on your vacation, but what are they and how can you get them?  First off, the pin codes are special discounts sent to you from Disney Destinations via email or snail mail.  They will have a long series of letters and numbers to get you a special deal, whether that be a room only discount or free dining.  You can call Disney directly to find out more or contact your travel agent who can also help you if you get one of these codes.   

How do you get them?  Well, a way to get noticed by Disney is to sign up on their website.  You could also order a free vacation DVD and start searching for packages on their site and save the offer.  This seems to have worked for some people. One more thing to think about is to order the free Walt Disney World maps.  These are not only fun to have, but it lets Disney know that you are interested in a vacation.  You can do all of these things to up your chances even more!

Disney says these pin codes are completely random, however, I'm not sure that is quite true.  I think they target certain geographical areas and certain people with each code.  I find it odd that we have gotten codes in the past, but they are very infrequent now.  Right now I'm really hoping the pin fairy finds it in her heart to send me a free dining code!  :-) 

If you do not get one of these coveted codes, your other option is to wait it out for Disney to open a deal up to the general public.  There is usually some kind of deal, you just need to plan ahead and wait for it.  Remember you are always better off to book a vacation ahead of time!  You only have to pay a $200 deposit to save a vacation and then you can wait until 45 days prior to your first day to pay the rest off.  A good travel agent (kerri@fairytaledreamtravels.com :-) can help you find the best deals!  You can always change your reservation to reflect the deal!  Good luck!!
