Re: AP discount changes coming soon

I just booked on line. I booked the CR for 10/27 to 11/2. The AP rate for a standard wing room was 194.00 plus tax. The rack rate was 274.00 plus tax. Not as nice of a discount as in the past....but still a discount! Saved me about 600.00. Or we would haved stayed at a moderate instead of a deluxe.
Just can't give up the monorail!
So the discounted rooms are there. I looked around at some rates for December and they were about the same.
Good luck to all!

Does it let you see the rates prior to actually booking?

Re: AP discount changes coming soon

Yes it let's you see the rates, gives you some options an opportunity to look at cost for an upgrade, it's actually a pretty good system.

I booked a moderate about a week ago for 10/24 - 10/29 at 109.00. I'm not sure what the rack rate is but I have paid more than that in the past. I looked at booking without the AP and with the dining but it was just too confusing. But I'm happy I have all of my trips booked unless we decide to do a weekend in December, because I just love the candlelight processional!

Re: AP discount changes coming soon

I just tried to book myself in at POFQ to see if it would give me a discount under my AP number. It quoted me a rate of $121.54 a night which is less than the $149 a night that it was suppose to be. I guess there is a discount for my time frame.

It gave me the total cost of the resort. I had to do the math to figure the cost per night which I ma assuming included tax because it was $121.54 per night.

Re: AP discount changes coming soon

What are the rates for AKL in mid Dec.? (18th-23rd) Anybody know?? I haven't purchased my AP yet, so I can't log on. Still trying to decide if it's worth it to me.

Re: AP discount changes coming soon

I'll have to try an log on tonight.

Since DW, DS and myself all have adult APs, can I book 3 rooms?

Also, does anybody have the inside track as to whether the regular AP discount codes will come out as well? Or are they discontinuing that altogether?

Is this with tax? And is it for standard or savannah? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I have these dates in a savannah room booked already at regular price (312.20 with tax) hoping to get an AP discount applied later on. That would be a great price and well worth buying the AP!! What do you think????

That was a standard room price. The savannah room is $234.16 a night. Yes, it includes tax.

Thanks so much!! Such a big difference in price between standard and savannah. But still some savings. I'll only save a little over $300. That's almost the price difference between a 5 day hopper and an AP for me.


I'll have to think about it.

Honestly, book the standard room. I have been upgraded there twice at check in for free. There are not that many standard rooms.

Re: AP discount changes coming soon

That makes me so nervous. My kids would be so disappointed if we didn't have a view.

But if they don't upgrade me for free at check in, can I pay for the upgrade then??

As long as they have a room you can. If it's something that is very important to your children, I wouldn't chance it then. It is going to be a tad busy that week with the christmas people checking in.

Re: AP discount changes coming soon

How are you checking for these rates, is it through the AP section of the website?
