Upsell Rates - When requesting All-Star Resorts, some people were told that these were all booked.  This then triggered the Cast Members screen to pop up an upsell rate (you can also request an upsell rate - sometimes this works).  This is a discounted rate off a moderate resort and are generally only offered when the budget resorts are filled to capacity and the moderates are still unbooked.

 How to Get a Discount Pin Code to a Disney Resort
 
Occasionally, some people will receive a postcard or newsletter containing a pin code for a discount to select Walt Disney World Resort rooms or packages. This pin code is nontransferable, so it can only be used by the person to whom it was sent. Although I do not know the exact way you can get a pin code sent to you, here are some suggestions that may work:

  1.  Register online at the official Walt Disney World website at www.disneyworld.com.  At the top of the screen, click on "Register". 

  2.  Sign up for every Disney-related newsletter available.  At the official Walt Disney World website at www.disneyworld.com, in the upper right-hand corner, click on "Sign Up".  Here is another website to sign up for a Disney newsletter:  WDW Public Affairs.  Click here to subscribe to        the Disney Insider newsletter.

  3.  Order a Walt Disney World vacation planning DVD and be sure to enter your email address.

Since I have done this, I have received both postcard and email pin codes.  Recently, I was able to use a pin code from an email to save money on a Disney resort AND I got the free Dining Plan at a time it was not being offered to the general public.  Give it a try.
