AP Room-Only Release Date for Stays After June 6

[SRUAlmn]

Hi! I'm anxiously awaiting the room-only AP codes for this summer so that I can try to compare the cost of that vs. the 4/3 deal. We're staying at the Boardwalk in late June/early July and I know the AP rates for deluxes can be pretty substantial.

I was looking at the historical release information on Mousesavers and it looks as though the codes for the middle and late summer are normally released in early May. I did see, however, that it looks like the AP codes for April, May, and early June were released quite a bit earlier this year than in past years. Can we assume that the summer codes will be released earlier too?

Anyone else waiting?

[YachtandBeachy]

I'm waiting...end of July...im booked at the AAA rate, but it's killing me, we need to save more $$$ or may need to cancel!

[bookwormde]

For most rooms the 4/3 deal will be as good or a little better then the typical AP rate. The real advantage is if you do not want to go exactly 7 days, want to do a split stay etc. The one exception to this is that the DVC studios are sometimes a larger discount than are the 4/3 deals.

I am waiting also to see if I can get an AP rate to be able to move from off site to on site on the weekend (party of 9)

[catbertdave99]

I'm waiting, end of June.....:confused3

[praline3001]

We don't have AP's but I am watching for any deals you guys get because they could go public with them after you have first dibs :lmao:

We have the 4/3 booked on our package and I can't see a better deal coming out for that in our case but we do have a split stay (room only) at the WL and I would love to save a few bucks or be able to upgrade by getting one of these last minute codes~

So I am subbing this thread to keep an eye on codes coming out :thumbsup2

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I am waiting for these too! We have the 4/3 deal but are only staying 6 nights so only getting 2 "free." I think with that, plus the fact that I really don't want to have 1-day base tickets, an AP discount might be better for me. Historically they have been released before the middle of May.

[collcass]

Poly was 303 for 4th of July week last year. AP rates were released right around the beginning of May but I don't remember exactly. I did have a ressie @ Boardwalk (week of 7/12) but we changed our mind and went w/ a different resort. IIRC, the AP rate was somewhere in the high $200. O know it was less than the Poly but not that much - $284 is sticking in my head but I can't say for certain. i do know that the AP rates were between 20&30% for the deluxes we looked into

[SRUAlmn]

Thanks! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one waiting. The thing with the discounts is not JUST the room savings. It's driving me crazy that DH and I are both paying for a 1 day ticket when we don't need to. Yes, I know, we can use it on a future trip, but that's just $145 that we don't want to spend right now if we don't have to. I hope the rates come out soon enough for us to be able to change our package if it ends up being a better deal. Our total balance is due on May 16. We do have 2 people traveling with us that don't have APs, but we're sharing a room, so we could all use our AP discount. They would lose out on the ticket savings, but it's only $9 so they're ok with that :)

[momtwo4]

I am waiting for an AP discount for July.
When I called to make my room only reservations two weeks ago
the CM said she expected the new AP discounts to come out mid April.
She said she didn't have any specific release dates, but thought
based on previous releases thats when she thought? we shall see- I hope so!

Ooooh...let's hope so! I was secretly hoping it would be this week because I'm a teacher and I'm on Spring Break this week. Normally when they're released I can't call until I get home from school and I sit there all day feeling so antsy. If it happened this week, I could call first thing in the AM :thumbsup2

[snykymom]

I know I've got a ways to go, but I'm hoping for an AP rate for December! I think those come out historically around September, right?

[JackieLand]

I'm waiting for end of June for AP rates also. Hopefully I can purchase my tickets around the first of May and they will get here by the First of June. I sure hope those rates come out mid April like the CM thought!

[Cinderumbrella]

Add me to the waiting list for the middle of June. We are booked 4/3, but are going for 8 nights. The typical AP discount for Pop would save us money over the 4/3 since we could drop the 1 day base tickets and get a discount on our extra night.

I just hope it comes out BEFORE I have to payoff my package at the end of this month :wizard:

[YachtandBeachy]

I just got word from a reliable source that the date they will be released is April 20th! :cool1:

YachtandBeachy,

Thanks for the heads up, that would make sense since most of the other discounts have been released 2+ weeks ahead of last year.

[MEK]

I hope so. I need two rooms for two nights to finish a DVC stay and I can not bring myself to pay rack rate. Even the AAA rate for a mod is high. I'm seriously considering off site. :scared:

[kileybeth]

looking to go end of June so am sitting tight for now until some kind of discount comes out.

[lucas]

We're waiting for end of June, too.

[TOMAR@SSR]

If you own DVC (not sure if you are renting points), have you checked on a DVC discount? Its usually 25% off rack rate.

[islandchick779]

Oooh, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for April 20th! I'm waiting to make ressies for June 17-21 for my youngest's b-day trip. I've been thinking about just booking a room and then calling once the AP rates come out, but it really depends on what the rates are as to where I decide to stay!

I was looking for a short weekend at the end of May for Star Wars weekends, and the AP rates are great for studios at SSR and OKW, but I don't know that I'd like a studio any better than a moderate...

We may not do both trips, but I'm feeling guilty right now that DH can't come for our June trip because he's been told NO time off through August!

[roozlilone]

We're waiting too! :goodvibes

[autumnpalm]

Hi guys.:)

We have 6 nights book at CBR from June 13-19. We have a trip booked in May (1-9) and are planning on getting APs once we get there. I'm thinking it might be cheaper to rebook the CBR reservation with an AP rate if there is one. I'm wondering though, do you need to have the annual pass while booking in order to get the discount? I can't figure out exactly how the logistics of AP discounts work.:headache:Can anyone help clue me in?:idea:

[bookwormde]

Anyone can book a room at the AP rate, but if you do not have the AP (or voucher) when you check in you will be charges the standard rack rate.

bookwormde

[MEK]

If you own DVC (not sure if you are renting points), have you checked on a DVC discount? Its usually 25% off rack rate.


I checked rates for studios and its just too high even with the discount. I need 2 studios for 6 people. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough of my own points for a 7 night stay, so I am staying DVC 5 nights. Unfortunately, its the first 5 nights, which might make the change to a value resort hard. I prefer to do value first then go DVC. I'm thinking bonnet creek as my backup, though I would really like an AP rate at CSR.

[that's nice]

Anyone know (round-a-bout) when a November AP rate would be released? Obviously asking when they have been released in the past. I'm thinking of buying an AP for this fall. THX in advance!:goodvibes:goodvibes

[Disneypirate85]

We are waiting as well! Want to add on 1 night at Mod or value to go along with our stay at our DVC, trying to save some points for Christmas, and the 25% of the DVC rate is just not enough of a savings. Shawnpirate:

[mickeymotto]

I wish these discounts would hurry up already!!:hyper:

I had to add an additional 4 day stay from June 27 - July 1 separate from our 4/3 deal from June 20 -27th when I roiginally booked and it is costing us almost the same for those extra 4 days.....if they don't come out with a discount or some better deal soon for those date I will have to cancel. :sad2: :sad::worried::

Come on Disney....kick it out!:bitelip:::yes::

[maxiesmom]

If they release an AP rate for July, I am going to have a hard decision to make. I have July 1 booked at the Pop, and July 2-5 booked at the Dolphin. If the discount is good enough I would maybe want to switch to a Moderate for the whole trip. Though staying on the Boardwalk when the parks are so busy is a huge plus. So I don't know for sure what I'd do.:scratchin

[SRUAlmn]

[Disneycrazymom]

I am also hoping for an AP discount. Right now I have the 4/3 booked for late June but also have a trip planned in Nov so the AP is the best ticket option really.

[mkymouse4ever]

waiting here too.:worship:

[EEyorelover22]

MKY!!! We meet again on a code watch thread:laughing:

Hurry ....:worship:Please hurry......:worship: Really want to stay at CSR on an AP rate!

[Cinderumbrella]

I hope that 4/20 date is true!!! My package is due 4/26 and I would LOVE an AP room only instead!!!

[MinnieGi]

I'm anxiously awaiting too and would love if that April 20th date for release is true!!! I need mid-June for three nights at CBR after a 4 day cruise. I so want to book, but am hoping for those codes to come out soon!!!

[MEK]

I just got word from a reliable source that the date they will be released is April 20th! :cool1:

Still waiting patiently. :surfweb::surfweb: Need 2 rooms for 2 nights and really, really want CSR. Oh, but I think you already knew that! :rotfl::rotfl: This is the last thing to do for my trip and I went to get this detail finalized.

[Bronte]

Sure hope it is Monday ... :lmao::lmao::lmao:
We have an ap rate from May 30-June 6 but need something after that for two more night !!!!!!!!

[danceintherain]

This is encouraging.... I didn't even think to check Mousesavers historical discounts (I don't know why... I've done it a million times before)
I was thinking that they wouldn't release discounts for July after they released 'free dining' apparently I was wrong though.

We're booked in a 6 person suite at the Doubletree in DTD, but we might need a little extra space. We booked at an awesome rate, but apparently we got the last available room at our rate for our dates, so we can't get a second suite.

I was thinking that we could get a second room on the property somewhere, but I wasn't looking forward to paying rack rate. Some of us could then utilize EMH, and possibly do some version of a Dining Plan. I suppose it could cause problems when some people have to leave when the parks closed, but I figured my parents probably wouldn't want to stay out that late anyways. It'd be more for fun for my younger brother and sister.

Bring on the AP rate...my AP needs more mileage on it!

[2005s4]

im waiting for florida resident end of june :woohoo:

[EEyorelover22]

I hope 4/20 is right, but based on "history", it seems early, but maybe the rest have been earlier this year. And, from what I hear...the parks are packed.

[mkymouse4ever]

EE22, :wave2: hope is a good word.:wizard: I hate to let everyone down, but monday I am off >> and wdw NEVER releases anything when I am off.:lmao:

[hmillerbarilla]

I'm joining in on the wait too. My parents are going mid July and if the pirce is right, I'd love to join them with the kiddies. :goodvibes

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I hope it's 4/20 too! That's my ADR date, too...but can I just ask...why do we think it's going to be 4/20?? Where did we hear that from? According to historical release dates, I was expecting sometime in the beginning of May.

someone posted a couple of pages back that they heard it from a reliable source (unnamed source though) We are just hopeful based on that...:wizard:

[bookwormde]

Well I am off the waitlist for an ap rate, I got some DVC points to move my offsite weekend onsite. Ended up with a Kidani 2br Savana view for less than the best AP rates.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.

[ciera321]

I've been waiting also...We have the 4/3 deal, but we're staying for 9 nights and we're AP holders, so I don't NEED the base tickets. I'm OK with the deal we have since I can use the tickets in the future, but I'd love a great rate for June 9. :)

We're in the SAME boat! It doesn't make sense to me to get a 1 day pass when we have APs and plan on getting them next year too. Knowing me, I would lose the 1 day passes :rotfl:

[sprintopinto]

What is an AP rate?

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

What is an AP rate?

AP stands for annual pass. There are sometimes room-only discounts you can get if you have an annual pass.

[pdarrah]

We're in the same boat as many of you. We are staying 10 nights in June so the 4/3 is only "ok" for us (Pay for 7 get 3 free)- but better than nothing.

Sadly, my package "pay in full date" is late next week, so if AP rates don't come out soon I'd have to pay a penalty to cancel the package....

I thought that the 1 day tickets would expire - is that not the case? I don't mind paying for them as much if we could use them sometime in the future.

pdarrah

I thought that the one day tickets do not expire as long as they are not used and you can exchange them toward the price of an AP or any other upgraded ticket at a future date.

We too are going in mid June with the 4/3 deal and also booked 10 days. I am planning to turn our tickets into AP's when we arrive. If you book the 4/3 you can't combine it with an AP rate can you???

No, I'm pretty sure you can't combine the 4/3 and an AP rate. If they were to come out with AP rates in time, I would compare the two and if AP were better, then re-book with the AP and cancel the 4/3 package.

It's great if the 1-day tickets don't expire - I guess I may have just assumed they were tied to the package and would expire. Does anyone know if you can have them as separate ticket media and not part of the room key?

pdarrah

[MariaEllerºoº]

Yes, when you check-in ask them to place the tickets to be on paper tickets for a future use. They should not expire and can be used to upgrade your annual pass at a later date.

[MEK]

And still waiting........:rolleyes1

[islandchick779]

Yup, still keeping my fingers crossed for Monday! We've got ressies for June 17th right now, and I'd like to change them to the AP rate, and possible move from ASMo to a Mod.

[ciera321]

We're in the SAME boat! It doesn't make sense to me to get a 1 day pass when we have APs and plan on getting them next year too. Knowing me, I would lose the 1 day passes :rotfl:

I'm the same way...But now I put all our Disney info (APs, DDE card, Rewards Card) in our safe. Got to keep all that important Disney stuff safe!!!

[danceintherain]

I forgot the torment of waiting for codes to be released...

I suppose it doesn't matter that much, because I'm not even sure that we'll be needing another room, but if we get a really good AP rate, then I might just have to convince my family to switch to staying on property all together...

[SRUAlmn]

I have a question (on my own thread :rotfl:.) We're staying in a Deluxe Concierge level room at the Boardwalk this summer. When we've used AP rates in the past they've never been for a room of this cost/level. Do the rates normally include these types of rooms, or are they excluded from any sort of discount? Thanks!

[EEyorelover22]

I think it depends if they offer them or not.
I used an ap rate on AKL CL once...a few years ago now though.

[danceintherain]

I think sometimes you still have to pay the different between the room levels. So you can get a discount on a standard room, but still have to pay the difference between standard and concierge.

[SRUAlmn]

Hopefully only one more day of waiting left :goodvibes

[Desnik]

I am really hoping for the AP rates to come out tomorrow too!!!

I would love to switch my AKV Kidani Village ressie for June 25-29 to the POLY!! Even though we are DVC'ers we would love to stay at the POLY. It would be our first time there. Also I can save our points for my family to use on our big trip in Nov. for our vow renewal at WDW!!!!

[NJ2Boardwalk]

I'm here to join the waiting crew. I am taking my daughter on her 16th Birthday Trip in July, which will connect with our family vacation. We are doing a split stay, but hoping the AP rate comes out so we can get some discount on our 13 night trip!

[MEK]

There will be so many of us disappointed if they aren't released tomorrow.

If not tomorrow, then when, I wonder?:surfweb:

[EEyorelover22]

I am thinking May is when they will come out.

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I am thinking May is when they will come out.

I am hoping for tomorrow...but I have to agree with you, I think early May too.

[EEyorelover22]

Let's hope we are wrong and tomorrow is the day;)

[SRUAlmn]

I know historically it is early May, but the rates for April through June 6 were released a few weeks early this year, so I'm hoping ours will come early too! It's times like these I wish I weren't a teacher :teacher: Now I have to give DH explicit instructions as to what he needs to do ;)

[lucas]

Let's hope we are wrong and tomorrow is the day;)

I forgot, why do we think it's tomorrow? Did someone hear something? :listen:

[EEyorelover22]

Good point. I haven't been following the release dates for this year.

[SRUAlmn]

I forgot, why do we think it's tomorrow? Did someone hear something? :listen:

Yes, a PP mentioned they heard from a reliable source that it would be on April 20. Hopefully they're not just teasing us :thumbsup2

Historical Info:
2008 AP room only rates for 3/30-5/21 released on 2/20/08
2008 AP room only rates for 5/26 - 8/2 released on 5/7/08

So far this year:
2009 AP room only rates for 4/19-6/6 released on 2/18/08

So actually, they've changed the span of dates because last year it was a rate good for May-August :confused3

[logpey]

She said she couldn't say, Then I asked spy like questions to get her to talk, she said If not tomorrow, in the next three days for AP Resort discount and possible room only discount. She kept saying very, very close, I think she acted more like in the next three days, Wed 23 is Earth Day, maybe that day, either way it's this week according to her. Exciting, At least it's coming to a close, so everyone here can relax and enjoy the anticipation for Disney.:cool1:

Happy planning,

I'm bummed because I have to work at 6am tomorrow. So I won't know if they do release the AP rates until 230 in the afternoon.:sad1:

Do you think it would be wrong to e-mail my Dreams Unlimited TA tonight and ask her to make a reservation for me tomorrow IF they release the AP rates? You know, say something like "I have to work tomorrow. Could you get me a quote at the Contemporary if Disney releases an AP rate in the morning?" Would that be bad?

[johnnyr]

What would be the better deal for 9 nights at GF during value season?

1) Stay with 4-3 deal.

2) Book room only when AP rates are released and purchase AP's.

30 Wait for general public rates.

No. My TA probably would have appreciated it if I had simply waited until the discounts were released before I booked my stay. I called her and e-mailed her a million times the day the AP discounts for January were released, then when the 4-3 deal was announced, I called her and e-mailed her another million times before I decided to keep my AP discount.


Oh and I suppose that answers the question of the other poster who asked about the 9 nights.
Our savings between an AP discount and the 4-3 deal turned out to be about the same. Basically buy 6, get 3 free.
Also, we were being offered the $500 Gift Card (I think it was $500...) along with the 4-3 deal, which is what was going to make up the difference.
Otherwise the AP affords much higher savings.

For the GF...a Standard room on the 4-3 deal would be $2400 and with an AP discount of 40% the total would be $2160.

However, buying an AP just to get the discount only makes sense if you're planning another trip within a year. If not, then the savings are basically a wash, because you'll be paying approximately double for your tickets.

It may have been better for us to use the 4-3 deal afterall, because they released the Military Salute information the day we got to Disney this year. We would have gotten the savings from the 4-3 deal, then still been able to go back during the year my DH getting in free and me on a $99 ticket. Plus we would have had the Gift Card and been able to get 40% off anyways since he's military.

[goin3d]

We're planning a trip to the Poly sometime in 9/09 but haven't been able to iron out the details yet. Given we've already missed the 4/3 deals, is it possible there's benefit to becoming an AP member, even it's for a single trip? If I've read all the information correctly, and we haven't had any other room discounts to apply there could be significant cost savings?:woohoo:

Thanks!

[DeeDeeDis]

I'm now on the hunt for the AP room discount. Son was just accepted at UCF :cool1: so now need to plan for an unexpected trip mid June to wdw

[tinkerbellmagic]

I wonder how far ahead the dates will go. Will it be through the month of August? I'm interested in late August, but in the past, the discounts that included July, seemed to end at the very beginning of August/late July, until the next batch would come out. tink

You could book the free dining discount for September of this year. Depending on how many people you have in your party it can be a huge savings. :teacher:

[SRUAlmn]

Nothing released yet! Anyone know what time they normally post?

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I'll be calling at 7am to make my ADRs so I'll be sure to ask if there is anything!!

If you get an AP discount or a room only discount, can you still add on the dining plan?

[EEyorelover22]

Usually, yes.

[NJ2Boardwalk]

Let's speculate a little: Do you think the rates will match those for up to June 6th? I am trying to figure out wht is really best for us. We know we will have 2 trips but that will only add up to 12 park days. So kind of a wash with the 4/3 deal without the room discount.

Of course IF I get the AP my mission for the rest of the year will be MORE trips! So that either helps the cost or hinders it depending on your perspective! ;) Me: :banana: DH: :scared1:

[Cinderumbrella]

I'll speculate with ya!!! In my numbers crunching I have been using the same rates as the current through 6/6 rates. It would be nice if they were better :laughing:but at least comparable would make me happy!!!

This is my first time watching for AP rates so I am not sure if they always release first thing in the AM or not...

Another speculator here. I am also trying to figure out what the rates could be based on the up2June6 rates, lol. Trying to decide on a resort, which, to me, is probably one of the biggest thrills of the whole planning process. I want to decide soon and actually since I am planning for the end of August, I don't know if the new batch of AP rates will include that time frame. I sure hope so, or I will just have to book soon without AP and see if anything comes up for AP later and if not, at least I'll be set.

[fla4fun]

This is my first time watching for AP rates so I am not sure if they always release first thing in the AM or not...

They usually come out first thing in the morning and they have usually come out on Wednesdays. However, they have thrown us a few curve balls in the past - I can remember one time they released them at like 10:30 in the morning. It's always better to check and have to wait than to not check and miss it.

[LinK]

I am also looking and watching..........other than watching Mousesavers where else do you watch. Linda

[YachtandBeachy]

I just got word from a reliable source that the date they will be released is April 20th! :cool1:

It's April 22, not 20, sorry! :confused3

[danceintherain]

I think the discount will probably be similar. Though the discount through 6/6 is a little better than what was offered for January, so it's possible that the next discount might be a little better, especially if it includes into value season when crowd levels are lower anyways

[SRUAlmn]

It's April 22, not 20, sorry! :confused3

We leave for WDW on Saturday and return on Tuesday. I won't have computer access so I am pretty sure the rates will come out during that time. :rolleyes:

[Cinderumbrella]

Well my TA switched hotels for me on the 4/3 deal, so even if an AP rate comes out that is the same as the May deal, it is only a $15 savings over the 4/3 (including the 1 day tickets)


My package is due Saturday so I have a safety net if they aren't released on time...

[momoflizandains]

I'm waiting, too. We're heading down the end of July. We are DVC members and need a good rate for Friday and Saturday. How much of a discount is usually available for the AP rate?

We're DVC members too (new ones) and I didn't realize you could get a DVC discount on rooms. We are going 4 times this year! Twice on DVC points, once on free dining and once for a short 4 day trip in August to pick up our daughter from FL. The short 4 day trip in August is the one I need a discounted room for. We are AP holders and DVC members. What is the best way to book to get the cheapest rate possible?

The AP rate would be better than the DVC discount. The DVC discount is usually about 20% off and the AP discount off a deluxe resort could be 40% off.

I am a DVC and AP holder and I am waiting for the AP rates too! I really want to stay at the Poly for our June trip!!(we have AKL Kidani booked on points)

Hi, DVC Members can get discounted rooms at DVC resorts. I believe it is 25%,and AP rates are usually better. But AP rates are not always available on the room type or DVC resort that you may want. When you book a DVC discounted room you DO NOT pay anything upfront, it is paid at check-in. And there is a cancelation policy of so many days to cancel (but I cannot quite remember it at this time:sad2:) So for your short trip you may be able to book a DVC resort at a discount through Member Services and then cancel if you find a better deal with an AP rate at a DVC resort or any other resort. :) Joan

Let me know what type of discount you receive for the Poly! We're looking at either staying at the Poly or the BC next year, but want to see what the AP rates will be for this year to give me an idea of possible discounts for June/July 2010.

I guess I'll go ahead and book my week with points and I'll just wait and wait for the weekend with the AP rate (I know some others of you are waiting for the same days) It is for July 17&18.:goodvibes

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I hope for everyone's sake that there ARE weekend rates this time around. I know not that long ago when AP rates were released, they did NOT include weekends.

[tinkerbellmagic]

I also think I might go ahead and book room only for late August. Chances are that time frame would not have been covered in this batch of AP rates anyhow.

[ciera321]

We have APs and hadn't booked a package for years. I now have the 4/3 package and need to make the final payment tomorrow. If APs come out after I pay, what is the penalty for changing to AP rate? And if I add the QSDP (like I have now) the reservation will become a package, so will it be subject to the change fee??? :confused3

[talulabelle]

Subscribing - don't have AP's, but hopingthey release something soon and then extend it to general public... :wizard::wizard::wizard:

I am pretty sure that the penalty varies, based on how far away your trip is. I want to say it is $50 from days 44 to 30 but I may be wrong...

I guess I'll just have to wait and see. We're staying 9 nights so with the 4/3 package I'm paying for 2 nights at rack rate, plus the 3 one-day passes. I'll just have to do the math if APs comeout. Thanks for your help!!! :)

Where oh where are these AP room-only rates?? I think we have been more than patient..... Come on Disney... Please!

Oh, probably, only because I have to be at work before 7 am!! :rotfl2:

[latrischler]

could someone please PM me with what this AP is? We just found out we are going to Orlando June 7-14 - for DH conference, so I'm checking to see if it is worth it to stay at a Disney hotel (even value) rather than where the conference is. We may only do a park one day. Thanks.

[Disneycrazymom]

An AP is an annual pass ticket. It is good for admission for a year from the first day you use it.

[hmillerbarilla]

I hope for everyone's sake that there ARE weekend rates this time around. I know not that long ago when AP rates were released, they did NOT include weekends.

yes, thank you! I hope they include weekends! pixiedust: Tonight we were talking about it and I'm calling member services in the morning to book our week and then we'll wait to add the weekend when the rates are released, or else I guess we'll be paying more. :headache: I just don't want to use points for the weekend--we're going again in Dec and want to use them then. ;)

[TexDisneyMom]

nothing on the web site yet..............

[mickeymotto]

Well...all I can say is that if they don't release AP discounts soon, I will have to cancel the extra 4 days I booked. I would be paying as much for those as I am for the previous whole week I already have.:sad2:

[danceintherain]

I'm pretty sure the change fee for a package within 45 days is $50, but I'm not sure how they handle switching to an AP rate. Technically, switching to an AP requires cancellation of your original ressie, and rebooking with a new confirmation number.

I'm surprised they didn't release an AP discount by now, considering anyone who is beginning their vacation on June 7th will have to pay in full by tomorrow. They usually have released rates at least 45 days before the first date possible for booking with it.

[disneyfan55]

I think if it's a room only reservation, the extra days most likely should be seperate, you should have no problem changing. For room only cancellation is usually 5 days, that would mean changes. I wouldn't think the room only portion is due by the 45 day mark. We had 2 reservations similar to this last year 2 days room only and the rest a FD package. For the room only portion we had to pay the 1 day deposit and pay the other while there, the FD had to be paid when booked in full since it was within the 45 day timeframe. There shouldn't be any problem with this since actually the FD portion of our reservation was a room only first and when the FD for Disney Visa holders came out we changed the room only to the Free dining. We did have 2 reservations all along since the first 2 days were on one AP code and the second portion a new code Sept 27, 2008 ended the first code and Sept 28 a new one started. That was the only way to get the AP discount.

[MEK]

Anyone have any new guesses on when the AP rates might be released? I checked mousesavers for historical release dates and the 2008 release date was May 7th. That was for AP rates starting at the end of May through early August!

I'm seriously starting to think we are looking at mid May. Sigh! :sad2: Oh well. Nothing to do but wait..... and wait......and wait.........!

On another note, my package is due Saturday, so I guess I am done waiting for these rates. Unless they substantially beat the through 6/6 rate, it wouldn't be worth it to pay the change fee. I guess we will keep the 4/3 deal and hang onto the useless 1 day tickets for another time...

Maybe this week???? What was the other rumor... May 9th or something? I don't remember.:confused3

[SRUAlmn]

Last year the room-only AP rates for May 26-August 2 were released on May 7. I'm assuming they'd be released around the same time this year. I guess they won't be early (or at least not super early) at this point. As long as they're out before my balance is due on May 14 I'll be a happy camper :thumbsup2

[SRUAlmn]

OK, here's the history:

Last year - released on May 7 (a Wednesday)
2007 - released on May 16 (a Wednesday - only for Mods and Deluxes/DVC)
2006 - they were only released for Deluxes/DVC on 2 different dates 5/17 (a Wednesday) & 6/8 (a Thursday)


So based on past history, it seems as though they are frequently released on Wednesdays, which would mean my guess is either this Wed (4/29) or next Wed (5/6.)

Just a thought :thumbsup2

[Desnik]

Should I just book the room using AAA? If an AP rate comes out can I just switch?:confused3

[KimDis]

Should I just book the room using AAA? If an AP rate comes out can I just switch?:confused3
I'm pretty close to doing exactly that. I don't want to risk missing out on the room category, and it's not like I won't have the opportunity to cancel/change in plenty of time if I don't like the rate.

[JackieLand]

Should I just book the room using AAA? If an AP rate comes out can I just switch?:confused3

Yes you should book it now. I just changed resorts to AKL from POR and the CM told me to book AAA and when the AP comes out, more than likely they will be able to apply the code to your current reservation. Otherwise, the room catagory you want may already be booked. Already, the room catagory I wanted at AKL was booked so I chose something a little more pricey (yikes). Now there is no guarantee that it will be available but I have never had a problem switching from AAA to AP. The only problem I have had is if I decide to upgrade resorts when making the switch and the resort does not have availabilty in the room catagory I am looking for. The one problem with this is if no AP code comes out for the room you booked, your stuck with AAA or having to rebook into a different resort/room catagory.

[disneyfan55]

Yes, and the actual date range of the code ended on May 22. We used it and that was the last day, not thru June 6 like this year. They waited until May 7 to release the end of May code/ beginning of June code for whatever reason.

[danceintherain]

I just really want to know what the offer is so I can try to convince my family to switch to on-property. They'll probably say no, but I can't really ask until I can say "Guess what I can get us a room at X for $X and we would get EMH etc..."

I couldn't wait and booked the AAA rate at the POLY. It is $420 a night(with tax). I am hoping for an AP discount! I asked the CM and he said it should be out very soon and once it comes out I can switch to that discount. I really can't believe they wait so long. I am thinking that we won't see the AP rates till the first week in May. Well, I guess the good news is I have a room and we're staying at the POLY!:thumbsup2

I actually broke down and called this morning, since the thread hadn't been updated today. Sorry, everyone, no AP rates for after June 6th yet.

For any newbies among us, in addition to checking this thread and/or calling WDW, keep checking MouseSavers for updates, sometimes Mary will even post a "Keep your eyes open" in advance of a room-rate being released.

agnes!

edit: wrong thread

[agnes!]

Well this certainly sours the deal I was working out in my mind for a 50 point add on... our use year is August, and it's definitely less compelling a proposition without 2008 points.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the rates will be out in the morning! We have to figure at this point it will either be tomorrow or next Wednesday, just looking at it from a historical point of view. The AP rates are released on Wednesdays, and even though discounts have been released at earlier dates this year, last year's AP for June was released at the beginning of May.

So...."hopefully" tomorrow, but maybe another WHOLE week to wait!

The Poly is expensive. We did the Poly & GF this Feb but I had gotten a PIN code at 40% off. It was wonderful to experience those two resorts without laying in bed each night thinking that it cost me $400 + tax to sleep!

If the historical Wednesday (& early May) pattern holds, looks like May 6th...

agnes!

As someone who is traveling mid June, I think it is HORRIBLE that they are waiting this long to release them! :mad:

I am SO GLAD my TA checked on upgrading our resort for the 4/3 package before my final payment was due last week. I would have been out of luck if we would have just waited for the AP rates...

[MinnieGi]

:eek:The wait for these codes is absolutely torturing me!!!!!! :eek:

We're DVC'ers and I have our DVC trip planned and booked for Dec., but the kids and I are going for a quick 3 day trip mid-June that was just planned and I keep waiting and waiting for these codes to make their appearance!!!! Its driving me nuts....like it is I'm sure for many of you!

[M2DD's]

Anyone have a guess what the dates will be for the next set AP discounts.
I'm guessing:
June 6th through August 8th
I'm thinking they will be released May 6th in the am.

[Disneycrazymom]

I can almost guarantee they will come out on the 6th as I have to pay off my 4/3 deal on the 5th.

Does anyone know if they will have AP rates for later in August...and does anyone have a clue as to when they would be released. :confused3 Not interested in free dining...rather have a discounted room. Actually was hoping to avoid the free dining frenzy...when does that kick in?...We were thinking of visiting the second or third week of August.

[SRUAlmn]

Mary is playing games with us. ;) Mousesavers has been changed twice today and both times I logged on and saw something different at the top and my heart skipped a beat :rotfl2: I know the discounts are normally released on Wednesdays, but I was hoping! :goodvibes

Free dining begins August 16th, so you should probably try to get the 2nd week instead of the third week in August if possible.

Last year...the Annual Passholder rate for 5/26 thru 8/2 was released on 5/7/08. The AP rate for 8/3 thru 9/27 was released on 6/18.

:fish:

We had a good time. Thanks for asking! We had a lot of firsts - we stayed at CBR for the 1st time and also did the Quick Service Dining Plan for the 1st time. We were there for my birthday and opted for the $75.00 gift card. I'm ready to go back! For Memorial Day we are staying at POP Century and in June we are going to the Epcot Pin Event and staying at the Beach Club. That is the one I NEED an AP rate for!

Glad you had a good time. How did you like CBR? That's our favorite moderate resort. I definitely want an AP rate for summer of 2010....loooooooong time to wait for those to be released, but anxious to see what type of discounts and dates people are able to secure for this summer. Looking to stay at Beach Club or Poly next summer.

[MEK]

So, how many people really think the AP rate will be released this Weds????? Or.....do you think we will have to wait another week? My trip is 5 weeks away and this is the last thing I need to wrap up - 2 rooms, 2 nights - need them soon!

[hmillerbarilla]

I hope it is wednesday. I've been waiting to book flights to make sure the difference in $$ is worth it. I'm thinking it is cheaper for me to fly in sat night and pay for a room with AP rate or is it the "same" as flying in on sunday when the flights are more $$. I'm hoping for the extra night!
;)

[thymed]

Today is it for me. Our vacation money is due today. So I guess we will roll with the buy 4 get 3 free for our 10 days in June. I was hoping for the AP rates but at least I will have the 6 months 0% interest for buying a package and paying with the Visa. I will upgrade our tickets once we get to the park and make them annual passes. Always happy to be going to Disney just would love for it to cost a little less!

[Gr8dan2]

So I just called to pay my package (AP/Dine) and of course asked if the pin codes had come out yet for late June--- so this CM tells me that no, not out and not expecting any for June/July at all--- said she's only expecting August 16th and later. What the heck? (and yes, i know they aren't guaranteed, but really, we've gotten APs for the last 8 years and the last year or so has been really the worst as far as benefits of APs! at least compared to other offers it has been!

Thanks, appreciate your reply. Anyone thinking of going to Poly for August :confused3..they have some good rates through Tikiman site? Was looking into that vs. an AP rate.

[KimDis]

I did the Tikiman rate and it was almost as good as the 4/3 deal. Almost 40% off.

The WDTC/CRO CMs don't necessarily know more than "we" do, some of them apparently are sub-contractors who aren't in Florida and work out of their homes. They don't have a better pipeline to what's coming out than DIS'ers or folks who keep an eye out for news on MouseSavers. In the past I've called in a time or two, knowing that a new rate is out and the CM right away has tried to tell me that nothing's available. I ask them to please check, saying a friend got a great rate or whatever. Lo and behold, I'm right. WDW is just as full of rumours for CMs as it is for Guests.

I'm with you. We'll keep our APs and we'll still be going in June, but golly-gee, some better room-rates would be nice!

agnes!

You said it!!! And yes, some are not even within FL.

I was a CM at CRO a few years back and when discounts are released (such as AP) we never knew until that day. Upper mgmt kept it quiet until it was advertised.

[tndisneyfan]

I'm waiting too. We are doing a split stay, 5 nights at POP and hopefully four nights at WL. We've already booked POP because we wanted to get a preferred room location. It's killing me to keep waiting for some AP rates for other resorts.

Well, I live in Orlando. :rotfl2: But I have a friend visiting at the end of June so we both were going to make it a WDW vacation for us both! We were going to do 5 nights at the Poly. But for rack rate, we will just stay at my house and drive to the parks every morning. Its only 25 miles. But usually like 35-40 minutes on the famous I-4! :thumbsup2 But it would be nice even for me to get away for a few days. So I'm hoping for an AP or even FL Res rate!! Hopefully this coming Wednesday!

[KimDis]

A group rate via Magical Vacations travel agency for the Poly, Beach Club and Boardwalk. It includes CL rooms in some cases as well. You can find more info on the TA site. It worked well for me because I could still save quite a bit for CL while splitting my stay between 2 resorts (which I couldn't do on the 4/3 deal).

[M2DD's]

So while were waiting for this magical AP rate to come out(hopefully this Wednesday) anyone have a guess on the dates it will include and some general idea on what the values,mods,and deluxes will be priced at?

[goofy4mykids]

I am waiting too! I need June 27th... Staying as a DVC member 6/28 -7/6. Would Love to stay at POR! :thumbsup2

[StrwLady]

Oh my goodness the waiting is killing me. It's time for the discounts to be out already!!! :)

I already have the free dining package booked but since its just me and my son we don't always eat that many table services. So if room only comes out and I can do the trip cheaper I'm gonna rebook.

So come on discounts...I need a Disney planning fix. Crunching the numbers will cover me until the 17th when I can do my ADRs!

[anne60]

I can't tell you how disappointed I was this morning. My trip is a month away and now I think I'm just going to book off site.

[Disneycrazymom]

Well no codes today I guess. I am sad! I need to pay off my 4/3 package today. So the bad news is I won't have an AP this year. :sad1:

But the good news is Royal Caribbean is having a Wow sale today so I guess I'll cruise for my Nov Birthday trip! :dance3:

I wanted the AP to go to the Food and Wine Festival in Nov but I gotta go with who is giving the best deals for the money. I love both so it is all good.

Really too bad for Disney cause I really like to fit in extra trips with that AP. Would have done Nov., then again next summer and anytime the air fare would allow. ;) Oh well. They don't really care - they have plenty of people. Thanks for letting me fuss about it though.
