So glad I booked AKL when I did...

My brother just called disney to make the same reservation we did for AKL in December (Dec 1st weekend) at AP rate and the standard rooms are now completely booked. He was quoted $250 for a Savannah room. That was all that was available as of 30 minutes ago. We are paying $134 per night for a standard ($150 with tax). I am so glad we booked the day the AP rates were released.

I think I am looking forward to that weekend more then I am September's trip.

Sorry for your brother, but am so glad that you jumped on that price when you did. It would be more of shame if you both missed that fabulous discount!

I think so.. He said they would stay at a moderate. I emailed him and offered to let our parents stay with us (me, dh and my DS who will be almost 5) and then they could stay in the second room I have booked (he has 2 kids). We just would have to not tell the resort that there are 5 in the one room.

We will see ...either way I am not giving up my AKL room <doing happy dance>.

Wow, definitely a big difference in price!

$134 is really a great deal though, you're getting a steal. Congrats!
