Postcard and E-mail Codes For the past several years, Disney has regularly sent out masses of postcards (and more recently, e-mails) that offer deeply discounted Walt Disney World resort rates to the recipients. I can't publish those discounts, because Disney uses a PIN number system so that only the recipient can use the code. (When you call in with your PIN number, they match your name and address to it. You can't share the PIN with anyone else.)
How do you get on the lists for these special postcards and e-mails? No one knows exactly, and believe me, I've done a lot of research on it. It appears that Disney's marketing department uses a variety of lists at different times. Often a specific geographical area is targeted.
If you want to have the best possible chance of getting these mailings, it's definitely a good idea to register with
Disney.com and be sure to click on the boxes that indicate you're interested in Walt Disney World. You might also want to go to
DisneyWorld.com and request a vacation planning video. It also appears that they may use mailing lists from
DisneyShopping.com, subscribers to Disney publications and
Disney Rewards® Visa® Cardholders. In short, sign up for anything Disney (especially Disney World related) you can, and keep your fingers crossed!
