I have heard the same rumor from several sources, but nothing concrete yet. I think Disney really wants to see the AP best rate deal work. They want to have to room only discounts, one for FL residents, that continues to be released as usual, and the best rate program for AP holders. When you think about their push to longer stays, this makes sense. If you have to plan your trip 60 days out, and you can know the most expensive price you are going to pay several months out, you are more inclined to stay longer.

The one thing about this plan that I rarely see mentioned as a positive is that as an AP holder, you can get discounted rates until the middle of February right now. By my count, that is over 170 days away, nearly a half a year.
