the current offer for free dning expired on the 18th, usually they offer a new deal shortly after that, does anyone know when that may be.

on that subject, a funny story. a couple years ago i was waiting for the fall free dining to be announced. on my lunch break i went down to the lobby of my office building and called disney asking. The lady said that i should keep looking that day and that MAYBE, i might see something that made me happy. Went back to my desk, went on line and sure enough, in the time it took me to go downstairs and call the offer was made! lol.

Disney has not released any new offers since the free dining expired and we are not sure when they plan to come out with something else. We at Magical Journeys will post here as soon as we hear of anything!

On Aug 3rd they announced the fall free dining:


8/24/11 - 10/29/11

Arrival Dates: 2011: 10/2-10/8,10/23-11/5,11/13-11/19,11/27-12/3, 12/11-12/17/11, 10/1-10/6, 10/22-11/3, 11/12-11/17, 11/26-12/1, 12/10-12/15


Do they normally do the same dates as well?
Should we book now and hope for a special?
If I wanted to stay 10/2 to 10/10 would the 2 extra days still be on special?

Do they offer free dining for month of April?

disneydeb

I don't think they usually offer free dining during April because that is when many schools are out for Spring break and many families plan on going there anyway during that time...but you can always hope! Good Luck!!

We also received this e-mail and code yesterday.

I just got this email from Disney Destinations today as well, and our current room only reservation check in date of 11/23 falls into this time frame. I forwarded it to Kathy at MJ to see if it will work for us.

What I noted from the offer and thought was odd was that on my email offer no PIN code # was actually assigned. Also, I don't think it actually stated what level of free dining was being offered and for which resort levels (DDP - moderate, QS - values for example).

It almost felt like it was an advance email to notify my of an upcoming PIN code rather than an actual PIN code offer.

Crossing my fingers that it works out. Without a free dining offer or a substantial room discount I most likely will be cancelling our reservations and the trip.

Disney Marketing, in their infinite wisdom, forgot to generate the PIN codes for the emails. They will be re-issuing them (or so they say)

thanks!

Nanc, I forwarded my email to Kathy at MJ (she doesn't work Wednesdays) then after I sent her the email I called WDW reservations and they did in fact have a PIN code # on file for me, for the free dining. I sent Kathy another email with my PIN Code # and hopefully will hear back from her tomorrow with good news.

Still waiting on a pin or discount for first week of December. You would think Disney marketing would send codes to return customers? We have been there 5 times over the past 7 years and have only received 1 pin code, when you read about others getting multiple sent?:confused:

Happy Dance - Happy Dance:goofy:

Had an email late today from Kathy at MJ and she was able to confirm my PIn Code for a 11/23 check in and we got free dining plan for a 10 day stay:number1: at POR.

Saving about $1,900 so needless to say extremely ecstatice about getting the Pin Code today.

Spreading good wishes and :magic: pixie dust for those still waiting on a Pin Code or GP offer for the same time frame.

There is no one-stop shop for where to sign up for Disney emails & pin codes. Many on here have said that they have signed up for every e-newsletter possible, are registered users of every Disney website, have clicked every box that says "send me promotional material" and on and on and have never received a Disney Pin Code. To the best of my knowledge its essential a trade secret how Disney generates and distributes its discounted Pin Code offers.

All that said, the week before Christmas is often not included and may fall in the black out period. In some years I think the offer has gone as far as the 17th or 18th. The current pin code offerings do not cover those dates, so you may need to cross your fingers for a general public offering that includes your travel dates.

Do the Pin Codes randomly get sent? We are checking in November 25th so the free dining would work for us.:mickey:

Pincodes are one of the great mysteries of the world in my opinion in how/who gets them! I do a regular check of my booked clients to see if a pincode has been generated/attached to their name and someone who didn't have one on Monday can suddenly have one pop into their profile on Wednesday!

Yesterday I had 3 show up that were not there on Friday!

I have stopped trying to figure out the how and now just do a minor happy dance when I find one for a client!

Pincodes are like the weather...impossible to predict!

See?....This is why we love MJ!!! Can't say enough about how Terrisue helps us! We were fortunate enough to get the aforementioned pincode, with the followup actual code (how does that happen?! lol), and we finally coordinated the trip toDAY to take my Grandprincess for her First Trip in November!! Yay, whoever is in charge of pincodes!!! Thank you again!
