This is such a fun freebie from Disney that I had to share! Our own trip there is coming up soon, and I’ve been obsessed with planning out our stay!

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.

I know I already said this on FB as well but I think my husband has I know he was talking about a map as well. as the sticker. Have you made the Sticker yet? http://buildyourdisneyside.com/ Feel free to delete my link and share that one too We built the sticker last week We are planning a trip as well. Obsessed is one way to describe it! When are you going? We are -just- missing the free dining. We do how ever have a PIN number for discounts!!! SO thrilled about that! But, they have not released anything for the dates we are going to be there. YET…. waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting….
The free dining excluded our resort. Boooooo!!! Hoping for a PIN that covers our dates!
Funny,
We got the map in the mail yesterday! 🙂 We have not decided if we are telling our son about Disney or not. But if we do, the map will be a great way to do it! (He knows we are going to Florida for a wedding and to visit Family but not for Disney.) Have you surprised your kids with a trip before or do you always tell them?
We are Disney Vacation Club members and travel to Disney every year, but I’ve never made the maps. Thanks for posting. I am definitely ordering them. I am a Disney addict and love planning our trips. We’re going this summer. Even though we go often, I still always get excited to plan each trip. Happy planning! Love your blog!
What are these discount PIN’s of which you speak, and how do I get one?!?!?!
They are random. No one knows how one gets one! I’ve gotten them before but never for a time we were actually going! “They” say to sign up everywhere you can for Disney stuff.
We were told we got one and we didn’t even know. It is as Dana said completely Random. Because my husband and my FIL have the same name, they thing WE are the grandparents. The most recent thing we got with the PIN discount stuff said Take your Grandchild on a trip they will remember. Um, he is our kid but if they want to give us discounts we will take them! The pin has to match your name and address exactly. The discounts they sent miss us by a couple weeks. So we are hopping we will get another one. I did not know once you get them, you don’t always get one. I sure hope they send us another one! Also, from what I understand the PIN is on your account. So I thought once you were a PIN family you always were so Dana you should look in to it! 🙂
Oh, darling’. I would feel terrible if I didn’t warn you. You see, I am a Floridian. Not by birth, not by choice. I’m held prisoner here because everyone I love chooses to live here. Floridians don’t do Disney in the summer. It’s 125 degrees. Please be prepared to be hot. I don’t mean just hot. I mean HOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT. With unbelievable humidity. I’m quite certain Satan got the hell idea from here. So dress as close to naked as possible (you’ll never see those people again so go for it:). Buy the fast passes. Doesn’t matter if it calls for a second mortgage. Beats an hour and a half wait for every single, solitary ride in the summer. Good luck, my dear. May the Gods be with you….
I went in the summer last time and you are soooooo right! But this time we’re doing a winter trip.
We are planning a HUGE family/friends trip for next summer and plan on doing the maps. Our daughter, our best friends’ daughter, and my nephew are all going to be 6, so this is their first trip and we are biting at the bit to get to see the excitement and wonder when they first see Cinderella’s castle, Mickey, and of course all the princesses for the girls. Our reservation is going to be through a friend of ours who is a DVC member, so I doubt we will get one of those PINs, of which this is the first time I’ve ever heard of them. Enjoy your winter trip! I am determined to do Disney World during Christmas time one year. No presents, just go to Disney. 🙂
We are also planning and I have noticed that the free dining only seems to be the MOST expensive rooms. Not that it is the best deal anyhow for a couple (though with 5 in a room it likely is) but it sure isn’t for most rooms this time. Not so many room only deals either. No worry, we are champions at doing Disney cheaply! Might end up with annual passes this trip….more discounts!
We did early December for the first time in 2012 (with at least 15 trips under our belts) and oh, my….get me back there!
