Oh No - Code w/ No PIN

So I found this discount code on an online discussion forum. I called CRO to see if I could use the code. CM said no problem. I called back various other times after the initial booking for changes, room requests, upgrades, payments, etc. No one questioned it. I was never asked for the PIN. But, the discussion on the online forum got me worrying. People were saying Disney may cancel my reservation or force me to pay rack rate if I do not have the PIN. I was never asked for PIN. I thought this may just be one of those general code. But, just to be on the safe side, I paid off my package balance yesterday. Today, I called CRO and told them flat out that I want to check to see if there is PIN attached to my account for me to use this special discount code. After 15 minutes of digging around, the friendly CM came back and said no, I do not have a PIN attached to my account. But, since I have upgraded and have paid the vacation package off completely, they will honor it this time. Slight relief. I am just looking forward to get my snail confirmation now.

Questions About the Discount Code

This blog is maintained mainly for families and friends (and for me to keep track of my insanity when I am in this Disney planning mode). But, a recent discount code issue on DISBoards has brought many people to these pages looking for the mysterious codes.

Please refer to this informative thread for any questions you may have -

And, again, the codes are - ZFZ (package) and BSY (room-only). I am not exactly sure what dates they are for or if you really need a PIN for it. YMMV. Good luck!

Switched from WL to GF

Due to me stumbling across a 40% off deluxe room discount, we upgraded our room from WL Woods View to GF Magic Kingdom View. Going to be an interesting new experience! Basically, we got a room at GF for slightly over the price we budgeted for a WL room at AAA discount. Can't pass that up!

The previous code is for packages only. Thanks to a poster from DIS, the room-only code is BSY.

The Code

The Code we used was ZFZ.

Package Deal From Disney!

After reading various online forums regarding a "mysterious" discount code for WDW package, I decided to give it a try and called up DTC couple days ago. Nothing. But, the CM was nice enough to update some information and "pushed" the information out again. She said that I should be expecting a postcard or email with a special offer sometime soon. As I have no patience when it comes to things like this, I called again last night and tried to use the code. Yes! They accepted it! We booked a comparable package at WL for $500 less than the AAA package (which just means we will figure out some way to spend that money back in the parks).

Tentative Planning Done

Tentative park and dining planning done for now. Waiting until April when I can start calling to make ADRs and special activity reservations. May still tweak the overall plan periodically between now and April (what else can I do!), pending feedbacks from the other families in our travel party. But they all think I am insane for planning so far in advance ....

J&C Are In

Looks like J&C and family are going to WDW with us too. Six adults and six kids. Should be one fun trip!

1900's Park Fare

Looks like the renovation for 1900's Park Fare will be finished by 10/1. We may still get a chance to dine there!

Vacation Package and Flight Booked!

As of today, we have booked our vacation package (lodging, dining, and tickets) through AAA and purchased the plane tickets for our Fall 2007 WDW trip.

This will be DD4's first time on a plane. Should be an interesting experience.

J&J have also booked. J&C are still on the fence.

A possible bad news. Looks like 1900 Park Fare may be going through renovation during the time we'll be there. That is too bad. We really enjoyed that place.
