Remember to ask for the discount

Just a tip...many people are calling Disney directly for travel between January and March. Unless you ask for the current special they will quote and book you with no discount. This is not the agents fault, they are not allowed to proactively give you the discounted package, so again you must ask. If you are working through a travel agent, they usually know about the specials and will automatically try and get it for you even if you booked with them prior to special being released.

Re: Remember to ask for the discount

Are discounts being offered to the general public for Jan. or only for AP holders?

Re: Remember to ask for the discount

Thanks a lot. I don't keep up with Disney as much as I used too. So I don't have all the websites I used to go to in my favorites on this computer. There is one we all used to use for the AP discounts? Any idea what it is?

If people are calling, they are already making the reservation. They have no reason to mention it once you call reservations. I always think of the AP discount like a AAA discount anywhere. It's up to the consumer to ask for the discount.
