Travel dates: 1/10/06-1/15/06 and 2/5/06-2/15/06. Discounts are $20 off Value resorts, $40 off Moderate resorts and $70 off Deluxe resorts. Book by 2/15/06.

January - February offer code is BKE.
Travel dates: 1/16/06-2/4/06. Discounts are $30 off Value resorts, $60 off Moderate resorts and $96 off Deluxe resorts. Book by 2/4/06.

February - April offer code is EZK.

You can book up to three rooms per pass. You can book with a valid Annual Pass, an exchange voucher or with the intent to purchase an Annual Pass, as long as you present a valid Annual Pass or exchange voucher upon check-in. Please contact our sponsor Mouseketrips to book these special rates.

Re: AP Best Rate program changes

Mickey, just for future reference, I'm assuming the AP holders can't get the dining plan with these offers?

Re: AP Best Rate program changes

Hmm now it changes. I gues that is why the best rate program had a cut off..lol Whatever. Maybe I will have to renew now....oh what to do? I'll have to think about this one for sure. I can get the dining for my trip because I'm booked under DVC points (thanks again mickey). 8day park pass vs getting the AP? help?

No the 8 day with PH is $238 and new AP is $415........you really need to stay 12+....without thinking about any of the extra stuff you get with an AP.....so the thing you need to do is add some days to your trip or go twice or both


Also with all 3 options(Park Hopper, Water Parks and more, and No exp.) the 10day ticket is now $2 more($417) than the Reg AP($415). The Prem AP is $539

That is correct. These are still room only resevations, no tickets or dining plan included.

Re: AP Best Rate program changes

Yippiee!! I am so excited. First we had a room booked at PoR because there was going to be 5 of us in a room on our arrival day before our stay at OKW. So I reluctantly paid $211.00 for one night at PoR. Then it dropped down to just the four of us, so to save some money I cancelled PoR and booked our room at All Stars Movies for $125. I had a nice credit toward Disney Quest. Well when I saw this I immediatley called Disney and asked what they had available for the night in March we are needing and she said she had PoR for $123 (including tax). So just for fun I asked how much a standard room at AKL would be. She said $185 including tax!!! So we are staying our arrival night at AKL!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can you tell)??

Can't extend the trip much to my dismay, so I will have to stick with the 8 day pass...oh well.

Re: AP Best Rate program changes

I'm glad they changed it back. Perhaps you read my vent in another trip about this upcoming trip. I had sent disney an email and when I got home there was a message from a CM. She said she was off today but to call her Thurs. or Fri about my email and said that the program was changing. In my email I had asked for either a discount or to be upgraded to a moderate for what I paid. Since she called, I feel good that they must be going to accomodate me in some way.
