Maybe I'm thinking of stay and play. That's a great offer too though. When we went in May 2011 we had originally booked with a PIN, but then switched to stay and play. It saved us another $150 I think. I think we will book the dining plan even if it's not free dining because it's SO easy. We did it last time with the stay and play, and it ended up being around the same cost as FD for the whole family.

It think we want to stay at CSR this time around since my mom will probably come with us. If it will be just dh and I with the kids, we will probably book a suite at AoA. But I'm liking the idea of 2 rooms near each other at CSR so my kids can go back and forth between us and my mom. When we stayed at the suite at AsMu we ordered breakfast items from Garden Grocer and saved a lot of $$. Since CSR comes with a fridge, I'm sure we will do the same. I'll just have to bring plastic bowls and spoons in my luggage. I'm bummed that we are cancelling our Nov trip, but getting excited for April!!!

Looooooove garden grocer. Use them every trip for water, milk, snacks, and adult beverages! We have it delivered while we are traveling and it's always there ready for pick up when we arrive at our hotel.

Hoping for room only discount is April that includes all sections of AoA!!

Sign me up for the week of Easter. Looking for a room only discount as we have AP's. Might do off site house rental for less than a value resort.

Where can you find pin codes?

Unfortunately it's not something you'll find floating around the internet. Disney sends them directly to some people via email or snail mail.

We are planning to go 4/19-4/27!!! From what I have found looking at the historical discounts for Disney over the last two years, the free dining promotion ended 2 Saturdays before Easter, and then the room only discount picked up 2 Saturdays after Easter. So we are HOPING that is the case again this year. Looks like the free dining discount for Jan thru March 2012 was released in early August last year and the Room only discount for the spring was released late Nov.

same week & resort for us although not booked yet. Once I hear of someone getting a PIN code for 2013, I am going to start hard core campaigning for one online, lol. If not, I expect we'll get some sort of room discount. I don't think there's usually Free Dining in April........

Looks like they aren't gonna offer any deals for AoA until the fascination wears off, or they have all the rooms ready, so there are some vacancies.

Here's hoping it happens for ya tho

Praying for pixie dust for Disney discounts. Don't really care for free dining so would LOVE a room rate discount.

This is a pretty extensive list of FD and April has never gotten it.

With a bunch of kids and a mod stay we'd also prefer a room only discount. I'd love to see thenm yank the 4/3 discount out of mothballs (we used it 2 years in a row!), but I'm not optimistic.

If we can't get at least 20% for POR we're probably gonna do something with the Dolphin and either my SPG discount or DW's nurse discount.

Hi all,

We are booked at POR Royal Guest Room for April 20-28!! And of course hoping for discounts to come out. We were at WL last april with room discount.

Is the nurse's discount only for the Dolphin/Swan?

Yes, the nurse's discount is for only Swan/Dolphin. They also have AAA, Teachers, and some other deals and their site.
