[evilqueenfan]

I got WL standard room for $139 pretax May 8-15. Also was qouted POFQ $109 pretax for standard room.

[SillyOldBear]

CBR April 17-23

[Ilovestitch]

Are these Ap rates.... they seem high for moderates and values

I agree- last May I paid $90 (tax included) for CBR and that was water view.

[MagicKingdom05]

Was the contemporary-Garden $209 or $219. I was at the Contemorary breifly eating at Chef Mickey's last Friday and thought it was a very nice place. The Poly is still a little to price, but I am sure I could get talked into the Contemporary especially being so so close to MK. I knew that my AP would pay off for my last trip, but to get AP rate for my May trip also is great.

[missypie]

:goodvibes WOW! 5 nights at YC, standard view, $234 per night plus tax. 5 nights at CR Tower, $280 per night plus tax. :goodvibes

Now I have to go wake up my kids, who have all stayed in bed because I was on the phone instead of wakng them up for school!

DIS and Mousesavers, I love you!

[LisaS]

Was quoted $305/nt plus tax for YC water view for May 8 for 6 nights. That's higher than last year by $25 (before tax) per night.

[Lori-n-NY]

Jovidan what dates are you looking for?

Lori

[liznboys]

Just got the AP rate-$109/night at POFQ, May 11-16. Was on hold for almost 50 minutes with two phones. phew!

[barbeml]

That's why we are seeing higher AP rates this year. Late last year Mousesavers posted that the "seasons" were changing. Time periods that used to be "Value" are now "Regular."

I'm happy with any savings!

[*Susan*]

42 minutes on hold but I got the CR Tower for $280/night (w/tax $2185.00 total). :cool1:

[ninaeve]

55 minute phone call on the 800 number with 35 minute hold.
Had to change resorts but got the $109/night for POR.

[disneyw/kids]

GF garden view $294 plus tax April 21-25. :cheer2:

[ciera321]

POR May 26 - June 3 $109 per night pre tax... :flower: :goodvibes :flower:

[Red Wings Fan]

46 minutes on hold and finally talked with a great CM. Got $280/night at CR Tower.

[DizzyBell]

Well... :bounce:

I was unable to get discount at CSR.... but was able to get it at CBR.... because we LOVE CSR so much!!! we will pay regular price for 3 nights and then 4 nights at CBR with discount.... best I could do... waited on hold on two phones with 407# and 800# for 1 hour and 11 minutes

[Tinkaroo]

$139/night standard view at AKL. 4/17-4/23.

[fun & fancy free]

I talked to a great CM, Amelda. WL woodsview $165 May 7-14 w/tax $183.98. She also told me that those of you who were given the AP discount last night. That those CM's are no longer with them. They had to manipulte the system to get those codes out a day early. I was also quoted $209 garden view at CR.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[Tess]

Are these Ap rates.... they seem high for moderates and values

The AP isn't a % off this year, rather a flat rate discount:

WDW Annual Passholders can ask for Code EWY and get special discounted rates at select Walt Disney World resorts for check-ins 4/17/05-7/4/05. The code gives you a flat discount off the rack rates: $25 off Value resorts, $40 off Moderate resorts and $100 off Deluxe and Home-Away-From-Home resorts. (From Mousesavers)

We (and by that I mean DISDiscountman--he wants credit :rolleyes: ) scored an AP (which is MINE BTW ;) ) of $395.78 p/n, Polynesian GVC which was exactly $100 off of the pre-tax rack ($455 p/n). Yeah, it's not as great as last year's DVISA code, not nearly as great as last year's AP (which on this room was 26% off a lower rack rate), but what the heck--it sure beats a kick in the pants! :cheer2: :cheer2:

[DisneyDW]

$445/night for BC Lagoon View Concierge :crazy2:

That is $100 off of rack rate but still a lot!!

We can do BC Standard View Concierge for $390/night.

[4orm]

On hold for over 1 hour and 15 minutes! I was getting scared about the system crash, that all the rates would be gone, that I was in a disney music purgatory, then Marina answered and I got AKL savannah view for $219/nt for 4 nights...total $977! Much better then $1427!

[rtjcbrown]

Took almost 75 minutes total, but I got the Contemorary Standard Wing room for $174/nite 4/26/05-5/3/05. :goodvibes

[cobbler]

I am so happy for you all :bounce: I know you all have been waiting a long time :)

[Ibelieveinfairies]

Oh, my goodness, oh, my goodness!!!
Got WL Standard View April 23-May 1 for 139/night + tax!!!!

I was beginning to think I wasn't going to get through in time!! Finally!

My DDs and DH think I am a lunatic...got off the phone and ran laps around the house whoopin' and hollerin'!!

[AuntBJ]

Pop Century - 3 rooms, 9 nights starting June 3. - $2,228.00

[TedO]

Just booked AKL Savannah view over Memorial Day weekend (5/26 -5 /30) for $219 (AP Rate) plus tax. Some other Deluxe rates I was quoted:

AKL Standard - $139
WL Standard - $139
WL Woods - $165
CR Standard Wing - $174
CR Water or Garden Wing - $219
BWI Standard - $234
Poly Garden - $254

Rates are higher than I was hoping for but it's certainly better than nothing at all!

[mar915]

YC standard view $234+tax!!!! Yah I have my discount of $1000 for 2 rooms for 7 nights.

Now I just have to get my AP

I am trying to figure out who in our party will get the AP and have a chance to maybe go back within the year. Does the person the name on the reservation need to AP or can it be anyone in your party since all the names are written down. This AP stuff is new to me!!! :confused3
By the way I had the sweetest, nicest CM on the phone today...she was so nice and helpful. I am mad I forgot to write her name down since I would have written to Disney about how great she was. She laughed when I mentioned AP code and she said "I guess I know what I am doing all day today". She even helped me with figuring out how to get my AP and that I did not need it activated when I checked in as long as she wrote that on the reservation, but I needed to show them it during the stay that it was activated.


Thanks

[mickeem]

[Leota]

I got the system crash :sad2: at around 7:30 am - CM took my cell number & is applying the rate when she can & calling me back to confirm....
Maybe it didn't pay off to call so early for me..... :confused3

Oh well, at least I was able to make my Dec ressies at the AAA rate while waiting for the system to acknowledge the AP rate for April.....

[jjan]

Just got off with Disney now after waiting 17 minutes. I was able to get Pop Century for 4 nights May 5 thru the 9 for $330 total (would assume that was $74/ night + tax). Waa Hoo!!!

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[ms.ojo]

Got thru to a CM at 7:02 but it took her over 30 mins to book the rooms! Have ASMo at $74/night and WL at $139/night. Had been thinking of doing Contemporary std wing but decided WL was just too good a deal to pass. Being a flat $100 discount...made the discount 42% at WL (and AK)!!! :flower:

[Melrosgirl]

Just checked my DU itinerary and it looks like I got the AP rate. Poly GV $254 or so !

[OhMickey]

-jessica

[Hessie628]

i just got off hold after almost an hour and they had me down already for the ap rate. how is that possible? do they do this? i always thought i had to call and apply the ap rate? could the cm yesterday have put it in for me, but told me the rack rate? i'm not complaining. i saved $210 for cbr for may 19-24. yay!!!!!
-jessica

[Reflection]

Booked 1 bdrm BWV with AP discount for two nights in June: total, including tax, $781.00. Prior to that we are renting points from a DVC member for a 1bdrm at OKW.

We changed our travel dates from early August to early June.

[SleepingUgly]

I got through with NO WAIT! I got the AKL, standard-view room, for $139 per night for our eight-night May trip. Now I just have to purchase the annual pass, haha. Even with the extra charge for the annual pass, the cost for our stay and our tickets would be just $30 more than our original plan, which was to stay at POP for 3 nights and AKL for five nights. Now we don't have to switch resorts and will have an even more relaxing vacation! I love this board!!!!

Linda :banana:

[KilleriMac17]

I got the AP rate for pop april 22-30th, $74.99 a night.

I've been on hold for an hour (30 mins each on two lines) and I really had my heart set on upgrading to AKL. At this point, I doubt it's still available...

Don't give up! I just got through on 877-939-3732 (after waiting on hold for 30 minutes on the 800 #), and rooms were still available for all levels.

I booked Std Savannah at $244 (tax included)
Standard (parking lot) views were also available at $139 (pre-tax).

[n2mm]

On hold 10 minutes. Got Pop for $74 a night for May 3rd.

[stringercapecod]

Don't give up! I just got off the phone at 9:30 after a 55 minute wait. At least the music was good! GREAT CM "Andrew" modified my existing AAA ressie at CSR and got the AP rate at AKL standard $139.00 for April 19-26. He also told me there were around 300 calls on hold so hang in there. I used the 800#. Very excited! :banana:

[sprite]

All Star Music $74

2 rooms, 2 nights, $334.

:sunny:

[MemoryMakers2669]

Not wasting time calling I guess. $109 a night for POR? Oh well, we will stick with our $79 then! Was hoping for the APs to come in lower. Glad the APs worked for many of you though, congrats!

[nikki]

I am new to the AP discounts, but just was on hold for 1 hour and got $703.00 taken of my balance for Poly Lagoon view May 7-14!! I am so excited! That is more than I thought it would be.... I haven' t figuired out how much per night it is with the discount. My reservation was $445.00 plus tax. It was really worth reading these boards!!! Ya HOO!

[Novinha]

*whew*

We got an AP rate! The rates for our room view were not available, but we upgraded room view and were able to get an AP rate that way at least.


We now have CR - wing water view $219 per night for May 12-May 19 (there were no more AP rates for the standard view)
And we also have WL - courtyard view $200 per night for May 19-May 23 (there were no more AP rates for the woods view)

Overall, we saved $1072 off rack rates for the room views we have now. But our old price with the lower room view levels, compared to our new views and AP rates, we actually saved about $600 and we got room view upgrades. I am very very happy.

[4DisneyfansinNC]

April 28-May1 3 nights CBR $109/night
Was hoping for better AP rates, but it's better than nothing! :earsboy:

[Claire L]

Got YC water view June for $305 plus tax! So pleased as initially our TA said they had all gone and while giving me other options she said 'no we have it'!!!!!!!!!

Total after tax $486

Third trip on our Honeymoon AP's!!!!!

[epcotfan]

She also told me that those of you who were given the AP discount last night. That those CM's are no longer with them. They had to manipulte the system to get those codes out a day early.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

Did she actually mean the cast members were fired for giving out discounts too early?
WOW. :guilty: :confused3

[Deesknee]

value - $74. but couldn't keep ASMO had to switch to ASMU

[mr&mrspotatohead]

We got $74 night for 7 nights at Pop and $109 for 3 nights at Caribbean Beach (may 20-30)

[TrickyFish]

Woo!! CSR for $109 pre-tax, $121.50 incl. tax for May 26-June 5!

Good luck and pixie dust to those still on hold!

[HugsForEeyore]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

Finally got through at 9:40, after a 40 minute wait on the 407 number. Originally I hung up a call I started at 7:10, after an hour and 50 minutes on hold! (Hate to see that phone bill!) :eek:

It was all worth it! Got exactly what I wanted! AKL poolview (hopefully with bunkbeds!), for $165 a night, April 24 -30! Standard and savannah were available, but we prefer the courtyard/pool view! But maybe we will hope for an upgrade! This calls for the dancing banana! :banana: :banana: :banana:

[happybratpack]

Well, that wasted an hour of my life. :guilty:

I had CBR standard booked with a postcard rate - $88 w/ tax, the AP rate couldn't touch that. I had WL Courtyard view for $174 w/ tax, was hoping to change it to a standard view since they didn't have any under the postcard rate when I booked - none under the AP rate either.

I'm happy about the postcard rates, I just hate paying for a view I don't want. :)

[jiggerj]

BEACH CLUB! :) :) :) $230.00 a nite inc. tax! standard view-

I am a happy diser!

[hapandpam]

Wow! I guess I called the wrong numbers! I was on hold on the cell phone for an hour (passholder number), and on the regular phone (800 number) for nearly 2 hours! But, I got an AP rate!!! :cool1:

I booked AKL for 6 nights the end of June at $134, and then POR for 5 nights at $109. Total saving off rack rate= $830 plus tax. I am soooooo happy! :cheer2:

Thanks to everyone who posted over the past few months and helped so many of us. :grouphug:

[TJA]

BEACH CLUB! :) :) :) $230.00 a nite inc. tax! standard view-

I am a happy diser!


Just curious -- you got $230/night including tax? I just got Beach Club AP rate standard view for May 18-25 for $234 + tax = $260.91.

[SleepingUgly]

I got AP rate for AKL pool view - $219 tax included. We're going in May.

I was quoted $160-something for pool-view at the AKL. Even if this is before taxes, the total still wouldn't be $219. I would try to call back to see if this rate is correct. If standard-view is $139, pool-view should not be $50-$60 more. Unless you got a deluxe pool-view room?

Linda

[kareneast]

Just hung up with Disney. Got through on the 800# after being on hold for 25 minutes. Got POR 4/26-5/1 for $109 per night ($121.60 per night w/tax) :cool1: Originally had POFQ but that was no longer available. :sad2:

[CPer'sMom]

BEACH CLUB! :) :) :) $230.00 a nite inc. tax! standard view-

I am a happy diser!

Are you sure that includes the tax? Doesn't sound right.

[grumpyandbashful]

...after about 45 minutes on hold got AKL savannah view for $244/nite tax included for May 31-June 7! Was using a prepaid calling card and was afraid I was going to run out of minutes before I got thru to a CM! :Pinkbounc

[robsmom]

Wahoo :cool1: I got connected in less than 20 minutes.

Got the Wilderness Lodge Woods View for $165 per night June 29th-July 9th.

Saved $1000 on the room part. Will cost a bit more on the pass and may lose $100-$200 of dining plan savings but still will save me at least $700 bottom line! Also, my sil wants to take a family trip next spring to my in-laws Vistana timeshare. I am going to talk to them further, if we do that, I will get passes for DH and DS as well and next year will cost airfare and car only!!

Did I mention Wahoo!!!

[lisareniff]

At around 8:45 this morning after 3 calls (computers down, disconnect) I got the Poly LV for $385 on 5/20.

Offered for 5/20 (one night);
Poly LV $385
Poly Con. GV $396
Poly Con. LV $533

I wanted GV but I can look at it like a free upgrade to LV.

[#1 TITANS FAN]

Got Pop for $74 before tax, 5\8 -5\14. I've never had to wait so long; waited 50 min. twice only to have cell phone drop the call. Got mad, cooled off for about 45 min, then tried again and got through in 35 min. By the way, just noticed I got my 'day early' e-mail at 9:23 am; apparently these rates don't officially come out til tomorrow. I bet by then they'll all be gone.

[fun & fancy free]

Epcotfan, that is how I took it. She said it is a strick rule and because of it they are no longer there. She went on to say that it is not fare that some got the code yesterday because of who they talked to. I think by example this won't happen again. She was very nice and said that the codes avail. don't pop up on their file folder until avail. not beforhand.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[BuckNaked]

I just got Pop Century for 7 nights starting June 11 at $74/night. Defintely better than nothing, but I'll wait to see if FL resident codes are better.

[dreams4disney]

I can not get into my mail, but from the looks of things Sue Ellen from Dreams Unlimited saved us $1200.00 on our reservation for 2 rooms at WL Woods View June4th to 11th. We added a day to the stay checking out on the 12th so I am sure the savings is a bit more than the $1200. that she said she saved us.

I believe she saved us $244.00 on our reservation for 1 room WL Woods View June 1-4.
That total is over $1444.00. With the savings off the extra day that we added it will be a bit more. Could that be right? That is a lot of money!!!

:cheer2: Hip Hip Hurray for Sue Ellen!! :cheer2: :cheer2:
I am so happy to day!! This was all so much more than I thought it would be.
:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[DMRick]

She also told me that those of you who were given the AP discount last night. That those CM's are no longer with them. They had to manipulte the system to get those codes out a day early.


Some were doing a good job of making me feel guilty, so I just spent some time trying to get through to Disney. Finally got a person and asked to speak to a supervisor (which took another 20 minutes). I asked her flat out, if cm's would be fired for giving out the AP rates last night. She said I was the third person she talked to about that today, and as she told the others, not to worry. She said some machines were set to take it last night and if we got it, good for us. She said no repercussions on any phone operator, who were just doing their job. She was very surprised that a CM would have told that to a guest, and flat out said it was not true. She wished I had that CM's name, which I didn't. She looked up my ressie and said all was well, that my CM would be back at work tonight, that she hasn't done anything wrong. She said that they have been having a problem with their system today, so they realize some are frustrated, and they seem to be up and working fine now. She also said they need every CM they have, the phones are very busy today.
So she either gave me a bull story, or it's just a rumor. I felt comfortable when I got off the phone with her.

[Fokus17]

I got POFQ 6 nights for May 27-June 2 at $109 per night. I wish it was lower, but i am still happy

[solotraveler]

I got AKL Savannah View from 4/20-4/25 for $ 244.19/night including tax. I was orginally booked into a Pool View room; so I was able to upgrade AND save more than $55/night.

Yippee!! And thanks DU!

Solotraveler :earsboy:

[Tink03477]

Finally got through after about an hour, then told she couldn't get the AP rates on the system. She took my number and said she'd call me back. I didn't think she'd have time as busy as she was, but she did call me back!!! :goodvibes In about a half hour too. Her stage name is Bianca Marie, very pretty name, nice girl. They didn't have any WL Standard views which is what I wanted so I got the POR rate of $109. for May 27-30. $121.50 w/tax. I'm going to keep trying for the Standard view at WL. My son really wants to stay there and I'd like to be able to do that. We'll see.
Thanks everyone for all the info and support!!!

[Stimpy]

CBR standard view $365 for 3 nites, 6/1-6/13. Saved $56 off our AAA rate. :)

[jiggerj]

Just curious -- you got $230/night including tax? I just got Beach Club AP rate standard view for May 18-25 for $234 + tax = $260.91.

I am corrected! It was 260.83 per nite sorry about that! My total for the 6 nites is $1564.99. May 6-12- :)

Wilderness Lodge/CONCIERGE LEVEL 6/24/05-7/3/05 $295.00/night Saved $800.00 Yeah!!

[CuteAsMinnie]

200/night WL Courtyard for 8 nights in mid-June. The AP rate saved us a whoppiing $892! :cool1:

[ciera321]

Thank you DMRick, I was feeling the same way. I felt that if a code was able to be given last night, then the fault would have been with the computer program, not the CM. The CM i talked to last night was probably one of the most friendly I've ever had and I sure wouldn't want to have her lose her job... :confused3

[kpm76]

We got POFQ for June 3-7 for $109/night ($486 total after tax)....yay!! Good luck to all!!

[magicaddict]

I not only got AKL standard view for $139+ tax for my four nights, but I added another room for a friend who is joining us for three nights! Thanks to everyone for the great info. :goodvibes

[LittleBoPeep]

We had to add a day to our vacation (I sure wasn't disappointed! :cool1: ), so we had made a ressie for POP about a week ago. But when calling this morning, I was only able to get AP rate on CBR ($109 pre-tax)...I could not get an AP rate for POP, so I told hubby I'm upgrading. :love2: Finally get to stay at Poly GV...got $254 (pre-tax). :goodvibes :banana: :earboy2:

[weissjaz]

AP Rate for 6 nights = $1,104. Saved me over $400.

1-800-828-0228 I saw this posted earlier this am & was only on hold for a few minutes. Good luck.

[luvmarypoppins]

S U C C E S S
Was on hold for at least 40 min. from like 9:50 a.m. to 10:30 am, also was watching little ds waiting for school bus by door. I held with baited breath, because I didnt want to disappoint ds. The cm, chrissy, heard me tell him, cross your fingers and wish for pixie dust...we'll we got it!! Polynesian garden view $254 pre tax april 24-may 2. Now we will cancel our res. at the swan. Its a little more for us, but the 3 ds will be so happy. and guess what the cm said they DIDN'T have my e mail on file. I even updated our profile on the website, huh? Now have to work on dining, oh its a disney day for sure at our house!! Little ds went to school with a huge smile on his face. Look at Poly, here we come again!!

[mhochman]

As I posted on another thread, I had to hang up earlier today to teach three classes in a row. My students left my room at 11am and I was already dialing. Got through at 11:30. Amazingly, I was able to get my four nights at the Poly for 5/5-5/9. Got the garden view rate of $254/night. I was really amazed it was still available.

Keep trying, folks, you may get lucky!

[Alexsmommy]

Polynesian Garden View 6/25-7/3

$254 per night




YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana:

[skfulkers]

Called (877) 939-3732 at 7:15am and was on hold for 1 hour 55 minutes.

But it paid off. Got the YC std view for 5/6-5/8 for $234. :cool1:

[eblondie]

Anyone got a rate for GF lagoon view?
Thanks :earsgirl:

[Stitch Inside]

Called at 11:15 and got AKL Pool View for $165 4/29-5/1.

[jpeltier]

:cool1: We have a 179.Rate for Fort Wilderness.

[ChrisNif]

I'm on hold right now....
I called at 8:01 this morning, held 45 min to be told the computers were having problems and that i would get a call back from the CM i was dealing with (Missy) as soon as she could get my rate applied. I got anxious so i called again at 11:45....only to be told that on the dates for my trip April 19-25th AP rate is sold out at POFQ, that i would need to change my dates or change my resort. I'm holding for a manager now because disney is NOT going to pull this garbage on my honeymoon. If it wasnt sold out at 8:01 i should be honored the rate.

Disney has never made me angry before.

Chris

[BuckNaked]

Chris, is the entire resort sold out or is it just the code that is sold out for those dates?

Either way, I hope you get it worked out.

[ChrisNif]

Buck

Im dealing with a manager as i type shes got me on hold to see how disney can fix this (i told them i would cancel if i didnt get the rate).

As far as im told it is just the dates.

[Ilovestitch]

AP rates for Poly were not availiable for my dates at all :guilty: So we are doing a split stay - 4 nights at AKL savannah view w/AP rate and 5 nights at Poly w/no AP rate.

That's $620 less than staying at Polynesian the whole time w/no discount, so I guess that's good.

So now I'm staying at the AKL in less than 2 months and I know nothing about the resort!!! Better start some research! -Steph

[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

We had the WL at the AAA rate of $265 per night, woods view. Was on hold for over an hour, but got WL courtyard view for $223/night!!!! I was so excited I added an extra night! We'll be there May 18-23.....good luck to anyone still trying!

[Kuzco]

WL Courtyard view for 250 pre-tax (presumably 200 base rate since we have 4 adults and the 2 extra adults usually are 25 more/night). I wish they had standard or woods rooms left, but we'll take it!

[Asuneda]

WL -woods view $165 +tax May14-17 (no standard view available)

[LuvN~Travel]

They didn't have any WL standard rooms left, so I got AKL for $139.00 a night. Which is only about $100.00 more for the seven nights than I had for the AAA rate at POR. Can't wait to tell the kids this evening!:)
Kim

[msjpatt]

This morning our travel agent got our rate at the Poly GV May 7th - May 14th changed to an AP rate $254.00/nt. Grand total with tax 7 nights $1982.00 We are so pleased to have the room under teh $2000.00 mark. YEAH!!!!!! :cheer2:

[Emme]

YAY!! POR from June 17-24 $109 a night. I love this resort and can not wait to get there!! Now, I have to go and get myself a countdown timer!!

[Mickey Fliers]

ChrisNif - I hear your pain. I called at 7:30 am and was on hold for 1 hour and 2 mins. I was told AP rate was available for my Poly LVC but then was told it couldn't be applied b/c the computer was acting up. The CM took all my info and said that they would call back when the rate was applied. Fast forward 3 hours, call back (only on hold 25 min) and was told no AP rates left for my room type. What?!?!?!? What happened to my call back. I am very interested in hearing what the manager has to say.

Either way, I will try for FL resident rates later.

:wizard:

[Dancind]

Called at 8:13 am MST (after taking DD to school), was on hold for about 30 minutes, reservations took over an hour:

POP for four nights May 25-29 at $74 plus tax.

Tried for standard view for AKL or WL for June 3-5, 2 rooms, no rates left. So booked CSR for those nights at $109 plus tax.

June 10, 1 night in a BWV studio for $234. Staying in a 2 BR on points for weeknights, this is in hope that my brother's family won't have to move the day before they come home.

Kind of sad about not getting AKL, but it's all good!

[DVCconvert]

I got $312 +/- CR Tower

[ChrisNif]

Fliers

Just so your aware im waiting on that managers' manager to call me back because im still getting a "its not availalbe, we cant help you"

I am begining to equate disney to a used car dealer....this is not good

[fun & fancy free]

Thank you DMRick, I was feeling the same way. I felt that if a code was able to be given last night, then the fault would have been with the computer program, not the CM. The CM i talked to last night was probably one of the most friendly I've ever had and I sure wouldn't want to have her lose her job... :confused3

I too feel bad. I was the one who posted what I was told by the CM. I am glad to hear that no one was let go. I just don't understand why she would say that to me. maybe just to avoid the fact thjat6 some got the code last night. I don't know. I apoligise for passing on info that was not true.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

[Mickey Fliers]

Chris

I am sorry. This totally stinks!! We get punished b/c thier computer system goes down and then don't keep up their end of the bargain (ie. calling bac). I even told my CM this morning that I wasn't going to be around for awhile this am and asked if I needed to be here. He said "no, they would apply the discount and then give us a call". He did say that it wouldn't be until later this afternoon. Good think I wasn't holding my breath..... :faint:

Best of luck

[CarolA]

For those of you with late April dates, there may not have been as many AP rooms. Still dealing with Spring Break. I read about someone who was told there was only one room at thier resort available. So... early bird may not have helped.

[Swan]

Another Sue Ellen from Dreams fan here.

She got me $139 for WL standard view. I am only staying on the week-end (renting points for BCV the rest of the time).
Not only did she save me lots of stress and phone calls, she even got us CRT for that Sunday.
I should have used her before, and plan to in the future.

I have not seen any rates for standard at GF, has any one had any luck there?

[bethzfl]

Sorry about anyone who's CM never called back. The girl I got, Mary Belle, was fantastic. She called me back like an hour later and got me what I needed. I did speak with other CMs between our talks, but she ended up taking care of everything.

[lmhall2000]

GF Standard view was $294....I really really wanted to stay there but had to save $$ and go YC for $234....That's a meal a day for my family! :)

Tara

[BuckNaked]

ChrisNif, I'm sorry, I'm dense today...do you currently have a reservation for your dates and you're trying to apply the discount or are you unable to get a room at your resort with or without a code?

Sorry to be such a dunce, and good luck!

[littleprincessmom]

and was told there were no std. Beach Club rooms available at AP rate (I'd already booked at full rate) :sad2:

However, all hope is not lost! We've always wanted to try POFQ and I snagged a water view room at POFQ for $697 for 5 nights ($139.40 per night). :cool1:

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! :cheer2:

Thanks to those of you who checked last night and gave the rest of us the heads up that the codes were out. You've made our family very happy! :love:

[ihearttink]

Laura from Small World got us a rate $234 a night, before tax, at the BWI. Like Swan, I was thinking, after reading this thread about time waits, thank god for my TA. I hate holding on. She saved us $263 for 4 nights. That's like a night free, which is fine by me. :banana:

[pygmymom]

Called this morning (800#) right at 7 a.m. eastern (6 my time). Was on hold an hour and 11 minutes. Got POR June 15-24 for AP rate of 109 plus tax. Originally had last two nights booked CR garden wing at AAA rate of $315 after tax. Nothing available those dates for CR wing this morning.

I agree, I was hoping AP rates would be as cheap as they have been in the past, but I'll take whatever I can get. Disney's bookings are way up, and they are in the business of making money, so I can understand their rationale.

And a big thank you to all the people that have called and posted!!!!! Everyone have a fantastic trip!

[ChrisNif]

buck,

I've got a paid in full at rack reservation....im trying to get an update....
from what im being told the only choice i have is a double suite at coronado springs for $300 a night or pool/water view at a deluxe starting at $249 for AKL up to $449 at GF/Poly.

My fiance is so dead set on POFQ i cant break her heart....we have to deal with rack if needed.

I hate disney today....im no longer looking forward to the trip

[BuckNaked]

Chris, that stinks that their mistake might end up costing you the discount, but I hope you won't let it mess up your trip. You've definitely got the right idea - make sure your new wife gets the resort she has her heart set on, even if you have to pay rack for it.

And don't give up yet!! Keep calling every day, and see if they can break it into separate reservations, getting the discount for at least part of the nights if you can.

Best of luck to you, and don't let it ruin your honeymoon!!

[ChrisNif]

thanks buck

i tell ya, i never knew "nothing we can do" to be in disney's vocabulary...

this is a SAD day for disney....

i'm totally disillusioned.....im even considering what i could throw at my fiance that she would be ok with changing our honeymoon...(she thinks im a disney freak so i may have a chance here....)

yeah i'm that upset by this total utter lack of customer service

Chris

[DMRick]

There are no suites at Coronado Springs..it's a moderate, and should be $109 with AP plus tax. Maybe she meant Contemporary Resort?

Coronado does have suites, I've stayed in one. Ours was called a jr. suite, which was essentially 2 regular rooms, so maybe that's what they meant by 'double suite'. The rooms were set up differently though. There was a king size bed, table and chairs in the one room, and the connecting room (just had one door, not like regular connecting doors) had a desk, minibar, small table, chairs (comfy chairs, not the regular desk chairs), and sleeper sofa. Each of the rooms had a bathroom.

[DebbieB]

That's why we are seeing higher AP rates this year. Late last year Mousesavers posted that the "seasons" were changing. Time periods that used to be "Value" are now "Regular."

I'm happy with any savings!

I didn't read through all the screens, so I'm not sure if someone answered this. Mid April to July 4 has always been regular season. The month that changed this year was November, it is now regular instead of value.

[justhat]

[Advance The Man]

Canceled my WL rezs and replaced with Fort Wilderness Lodge. No clue what it's like, will research it. Now only need one room vs two. Got it for $179 + tax/night 4/21 - 4/24.

[DissyLove]

On hold this morning for about 40 minutes, but reserved 2 rooms at POR with code for $109.00 a night for 5 nights.

Never been to this hotel, will I like it? I have stayed at CBR and CSR for mods before.

[skiwee1]

You will LOVE it!! I was also on hold for about 40 minutes this morning and reserved two rooms at POR!!! 5/9 through 5/17!! $109!! Currently on hold AGAIN, want to split our stay and spend the last three nights at CBR, since we have never stayed there and this will be our THIRD time at POR!!! I hope I can still get the AP rate for CBR.

Anyone get the AP rate for CSR?? Wanted a few nights there at the AP rate, but all they had were suites for $330/night!!! :earseek:

[MegaDisney]

Got the Contemporary- standard wing room- for $195/night, inc tax. This is for 4/28 through 5/2. Could have also gotten Ft. Wilderness cabin for the same rate.

Is that AKL Concierge rate an AP? :confused3 Just curious because our Polynesian GVC is less than that at $395.78 (tax inclusive). . .rack at Polynesian for GVC is $455--that would make your AKL rack almost $500? That seems high to me, but then again, maybe not. . .just wondering I guess.

[Advance The Man]

Yes, a cabin. They say it sleeps six. Reserved two cabins just in case. It's my wife and I, two children and grandmother. But not sure one cabin will be 'cramped'. Also, I've never stayed at anything but a deluxe (sounds snobby! :angel:), will we be in for a surprise? I looked at the website, they look nice. Everything is wood! Wood floors, the walls look to be shellacked (sp?) plywood, etc. Any thoughts, appreciated.

Thanks to all of you on these boards. I had my first successful AP code phone call today. On hold for 60 (7:10 am to 8:10 am central) minutes...was hoping for Contemporary garden std, but AP rooms for my dates were all gone. Then the computer acted up and the CM said she'd call be back with some of my alternative resort requests...she called back about 10 minutes later and got us WL std. (139 + tax) for all 8 nights of our trip. We are ecstatic!

You will love the cabins. One should be enough for your party unless you all need to use the bathroom at the same time. Its much more relaxed than being cramped in a regular room or even 2. And there is tons of stuff for the kids to do right there in the camp ground.

Have a great time!

Sorry! I got confused! We would be renting two also later in the year. I think they are pretty reasonably priced and situated. Only stayed on the old trailors, however. Never the new ones!

Have a good trip!

YIPPEE!!

I just got POP for $84/night May 28-31.......

Star Wars weekend and F&G festival here we come!!!!

[aka-mad4themouse]

My DU agent did what she could but not AP rooms at CSR for 4/20-4/25 and no std view rooms at AKL or WL at the AP rate either. There were some at POR and POFQ as of 9 am today but we'd rather stay as CSR using the AAA rate of $127/night than switch. I guess there's always hope for a code for the general public or for a Disney VISA code, but I'm content with my rate and the knowlege that I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD in a little over a month!

[Ginger Ledbetter]

what is the difference in the standard garden room and the tower room?

[mickeyluv]

I was so excited when my TA called me this morning and told me that she got us the WL woodsview for 5 nights for $920.00 total. This was tax included!!! May 20 - May 25. I can't wait!!!!!!!

My rates are all including tax:
AKL sav view 244.19, POR 121.54, and GF main concierge 663.43
June 23-28

[seanmci]

We got 5 nights at POR for $607.50 5/12-5/17! Yea!!!! Ok time to go reset my counter!!!!! We were also quoted 5 nights courtyard view at WL for $1115. And standard savanah at AKL for $1221. These rates include tax and she told me that there were very few left. She said, and I quote "you internet people have been all over us this morning". My hold time was about 45 mins...

I know what the LV concierge runs at Polynesian--I had a postcard that would have given that view to us at a rate of $518 p/n--AP on that room was $535. The latter is $100 off the rack. I guess I was just shocked at the cost of a DSV at AKL since we've stayed there for a lot less than that $390 rate! Whew. . .things have gone up out that way in the last few years. The Polynesian GV rooms are larger than those at AKL and more our cup of tea I guess! :love:

June 2 - June 9 .. $250.00 + tax. Yipee!!! This will be our 2nd time in this room.

[Mommo]

We were able to get 10 nights at YC for $2609. We need 4-5 more days but the very nice young woman helping us said her system would't let her book any more days out past end of codes? Our stay starts 7/2 and we'll just be waiting for the next set of dates to be released to finish booking our stay. I'm thrilled with what we have but part of me is mourning the other places we'll be missing. I feel so goofy.

DU got me POP April 1 for $83.00 including tax. ($74.44 w/o tax) and Poly GV May 6 and 7 for $253.81 including tax ($227.63 w/o tax. I'm very happy.

[Bimmy56]

Going June 17-23rd.

1st choices Contemporary and BC not available, so am taking 2 POP rooms at $74. each. ( going with grown son and daughter that would rather stand all night than share the same bed.)

I think that one of the reasons for the longer wait times is the new Magical Express service. I took my CM a while to get our flight times and numbers in the computer and explain it all. Still, it's worth it - much better than dealing with Mears.

:earsboy: I've always planned and booked our WDW trips myself, but I'm rethinking that after reading that some folks got AP rates through DU.

Three quick questions:

1) How far ahead did you book your trip with them?
2) If we book our Dec trip with DU now, will they try to snag the AP discounts when they are released, or do we have to book our trip after the rates are out?
3) Did anyone succeed in getting the Dolphin AP rate? If so, what was it?


Thanks! :earsboy:

[MAGICinMYHEART]

For WL (woods view) $165.00 May 26-29 w/tax $183.98 Total saved $668.85. Called in @ 6:59am CM answered 7:05am pulled all the information up then for some reason his computer wouldn't apply the codes, he asked me to call back later I said I wouldn't be able to call back as I had to leave for work. (GULP) He said, "Well I have all the information I'll try to go back in later to secure the code for you. I'll call and leave you a message if I am able to get it, but I can't guarantee that you will receive the discount." I told him that if woods view or courtyard rooms were available to please go ahead and upgrade the standard room to either of the rooms, but that I would prefer the Woods View, So please try and work your MAGIC.

I went to work and worried all day, when I got home I had my new rate information on the answering machine. Went in and verified reservation on the Disney Website...Everything is there.

I haven't used DU, but would guess they're similar to most other Disney TA's. I know my TA was able to apply the AP code to my existing ressies, and I believe this is what DU does, too. So, you could book now, and then if codes should come out - more $$ in your pocket!

Since the Dolphin is not a Disney-owned hotel, I don't think they make you go through this AP frenzy. From the All Ears site, it looks like the rates might be available year-round - you'd probably just have to call and check. Here's the info: http://www.allearsnet.com/acc/sd_discounts.htm

1) We booked our trip (May 16-26) with DU a couple of weeks ago. Got an email from my agent early this morning saying that she had gotten us AP rate for our room.

2) No, you don't have to book after the rates are out. In fact, I think you should book BEFORE the rates are out.

3) Can't help you with this question. We stayed at the Dolphin in Dec 2003. They offered a really good discount at the time (not AP rate). I believe it was $99/night + tax for a standard room. We even got a free upgrade to the resort view. :teeth:

I was able to apply the AP rate to my existing 6 night PC reservation for 6/24 - 6/30, taking my rate down to $74/night + tax. I was REALLY hoping for $59/night + tax, but I'm satisfied with the rate I got. It's not like Disney wouldn't have ended up with all my $$ anyway!!

[queenmichelle]

I got $84 w/tax for Pop, $184 w/tax for WL woods view and $312 fro CR tower. In all I'm saving a little over $900!! I'm so excited but now I've got nothing left to do for the 47 days. :earboy2: :hourglass

[OKSTATE99]

WL -woods view $165 +tax May14-17 (no standard view available)

Exactly what we got. May 8th-14th

[Quasi123]

I didn't see my email until 4 pm. Called and was put on hold for 20 minutes and then the line went dead :sad2: Called back using the 800 number and was put on hold for another 20 minutes. Finally got to talk to a great CM who warned me there were hardly any codes left. I managed to get the Poly for $254 a night. Not my first choice but we are happy. :flower:

[robinb]

$74 per night at POP for 5/5-5/12, Mother's Day. I wanted to stay at a moderate but they were all sold out by the time I called :(. But ... POP is my favorite value, so I'm OK with it. Even though it's $25 more per night than we paid last time we stayed there.

[anne930]

We got YC Standard for Memorial Day Weekend for $234/night. I waited on hold for 1 hour 20 minutes (while I was getting ready for work, doing laundry, reading the boards, etc). The very sweet CM said the reservation wouldn't stick, kept reverting back to the rack rate. So she would keep trying through the morning and call me later on my cell phone when she could confirm the reservation. I didn't think it would happen!! But low and behold, she called about 10:30 am and gave me the confirmation number. WE ARE SO THRILLED !!

[wildbill]

$109 Port Orleans!!! All due to using a travel agent :):) CBR had no rooms available-hope we like this resort as much as the CBR.

Now off to call Disney and get an A/P...then get the DDE-that's when we start saving money.

[lillygator]

I just got CSR for $486 for 4 nights 5/18-5/22...FL res rate

[chimera]

Just got July 1-4 for $139 standard room at AKL. They had standard room with savannah view for $219, but for that much, I'd rather stay at BC or YC.

We've never stayed at AKL before!

[DisneyKidds]

Just converted our WL standard view reservation to the AP rate this afternoon......$155 including tax, June 2 - 5. Also reserved a Saratoga Springs studio for $211 including tax for May 28.

[bugsy]

[burnsoc]

[can't wait]

Our rate $59.00 Pop Century :cheer2:
7 days 7 nights hotel
7 day park hopper passes for 3 people
dinning plan for 3 people
+ tax = $1700.00

[cranbiz]

Called this morning about 7:15. Was on hold for 20 minutes and got CBR King room for 125.00 a night June 27 and 28. (139 with tax) Yea!

Spending a couple of days for our 25th anniversary at the mouse with NO KIDS.

(No we're not flying in for 2 days, we will already be at our Deltona house, but it will be nice to be onsite for a couple of days.)

How did you get that rate? I was quoted $254 w/o tax AP rate for April 26th thru May 2nd.....Please tell. Did you have an Email/PIN or did you get the AP Rate?
ADP :goodvibes

I'm sorry about being so slow to answer. Didn't realize you had asked me a question. I did not have a postcard or email. but it is the AP rate. I wasn't even aware the codes had come out until I got the email from my DU agent saying she had gotten me a better rate. I was originially booked at AAA rate of $354.37 including tax.

Good luck.

:wave2:

[SlightlyGoofy]

Can't Wait, might I enquire as to what dates you are going and if they are in April or May how you got that rate?

Thank you so much. SG/Linda

[MagicKingdom05]

newcomer52,

Im still not sure how you got that rate. I was also quoted $254 or $283.25 with tax with an AP.

[rgo772]

Just got an e-mail from Barbara @ small world vacation and she said she was able to get us CSR for June 13-21 for 109.00 (121.50 w/tax) :banana: :banana: :banana: I need one more night because we will be staying till the 22nd but I don't even mind if I have to pay rack rate for one night. I highly recommend Small World Vacations they have been great so far.

[simba2]

Can't Wait -- how'd you get $59 at POP? What are your dates? I only got $74 late May.

[PolyAddict]

POR May 27-June 4 $109 + tax.

[Koko]

Exactly what we got. May 8th-14th

Same here. WL, Woods View, no Standard avail. for $165. May 16-21.

[disneyfreakjackie]

You will LOVE it!! I was also on hold for about 40 minutes this morning and reserved two rooms at POR!!! 5/9 through 5/17!! $109!! Currently on hold AGAIN, want to split our stay and spend the last three nights at CBR, since we have never stayed there and this will be our THIRD time at POR!!! I hope I can still get the AP rate for CBR.

Anyone get the AP rate for CSR?? Wanted a few nights there at the AP rate, but all they had were suites for $330/night!!! :earseek:

Yesterday, NO AP codes for CBR OR CSR for the second half of our stay, called tonight (just to check) and guess WHAT!!! CBR for the second half of our stay at the AP rate!!! YEAH!!! We get to go to POR/four nights AND try a new resort (to us) . . . CBR/four nights!!! Eight nights at the AP rate!!! SOO HAPPY!!! :cool1: :goodvibes :banana: :sunny: :flower:

[MagicKingdom05]

disneyfreakjackie,

Congrats. It pays to call back and check. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to keep my stay at Contemporary standard gardenview at $194 or upgrade for $89.25 more and stay at Poly standard GV for $283.25.

[Destination Disney]

These AP codes seem high. Especially the Value and Mods. I've booked a water view for $80 @ POR and have booked AKL for $114 before at the end of April.

[can't wait]

We are going June 3- June 10 2005. I recieved a post card in the mail with the offer.

[jiminy14]

The rates this time are high. I just booked the AKL standard pool view for $183.98/night with tax from 5/26-6/2. During Christmas week, I could have booked a Savannah view room at AKL for $169/night with tax. That same room is now $219 without tax.
I ended up staying at the Poly at Christmas in a garden view room for $215/night with tax. That room now is $254/night without tax.

[seanmci]

So At 11:30 on Wdnesday I was told there were no AP rates for standard view at WL left. So I booked POR. I call back the next morning at 8:00AM, spent another 75 mins on hold and voila! She had WL Standard at AP rate. Sweet!!!! All I can say is keeping calling back if you have your heart set on a resort.

[robinb]

Thanks for the update seanmci! I just changed my POP to POFQ (15-20 minutes on hold) for my dates. No moderates were available when I first called. Now if CSR only opens up ...

[fun & fancy free]

I too was told there were no WL standard so I booked woodsview. Maybe I will call back to see if standard has been made available. Every little bit($) helps. I will keep you posted.

:wave: :wave2: princess: princess:

I am trying to decide whether to call back and ask for a Woods view. I usually don't care about view but some of the descriptions of the standard view describe an ugly view of the service/delivery entrance. Whatever, I am sure it's not that bad! I am so happy just to be going to WL... This is the slippery slope of Disney... "Well if we are going to [blank] then we might as well do [blank]..."

I've had the standard view and it's not a pretty sight. We had the pleasure of sitting on our balconey and watching the trucks back in....beep...beep....beep. There was lots of activity and mostly in the morning when sitting on the balconey with your coffee. I usually don't care about my view, but the activity is a little hard to get use to.

AP Rate for Boardwalk Villas 1 Bedroom Suite- $350.00
Old Key West 1 Bedroom - $295.000

Opted for the BVW....l love to walk to Epcot!! :love1:

[momshark]

I, myself, couldn't secure an AP rate on my room only ressies at the Poly (I call a couple of times a day) so I contacted DU. They got me "the AP rate" of $318 a night April 15-23 for GV. I know this is not as good as others I read at $254, but it has saved me almost $700 off of the rack rate. I'll take that.
DU rocks! How DO they do that???
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted, Whew!!

[riu girl]

I have also read that DU can find rooms/rates that individuals were not offered/able to get. When you called CRO, did you ask about GF or just about the Poly? It seems that DU seems to perhaps know the "right" questions to ask.

Any thoughts?
Suzy V.

[momshark]

Yes, the CMs at CRO have been very patient w/ me. We checked all the monorail resorts and all room types and codes that may be available, including AAA and AP. I was getting too stressed and put everything in the hands of the true professionals at Dreams Unlimited.
I have no thoughts on how/why DU was able to get me an AP rate. I am happy with what I have and thankful to DU, which BTW ROCKS!!!

Dreamin', just dreamin' of being luaed to sleep...

[sixcats]

Well there are still some AP rates out there! Yesterday I booked Poly GV concierge(Memorial Day weekend) for $395 and change a night including tax. Now I'm just hoping WDWtravel can fix the mess they made of my airfare.

[asnaghook]

I see in some of the posts that fellow mouseketeers refer to calling the #407 and #800 numbers. What is the 1-800 number if anyone would mind passing it on. I didn't think there was one!!! Learn something new every, everyday here!!!
Thanks!!

379.10/night including tax

[mommykds]

I didn't see any rooms with an AP rate for the BC..did anyone get an AP rate for the BC?

[HugsForEeyore]

Just a few days ago, I was able to snag a 5 night AP rate at All-Star Music for June 20-25, for a quick bonus summer trip! With tax I think it was $83 a night. Other resorts were available, like CBR and one other moderate (forgot which), but only king beds. Pop and Sports was not available.

I should be jumping for joy, but my trip is completely based on when my work closes for two weeks for renovations. Right now it is suppose to be June, but the date keeps getting moved later. So I have a feeling I will be moving my dates to July or August. Least it will be nice and WARM!! :)

[lillygator]

interesting to see last year's AP rates!

interesting to see last year's AP rates!

have any come out yet?? for June??

I remember this thread very well from last year

[lillygator]

nope, none out yet. I am hoping they are the same as last year, we know they won't be better!

[Mich Mouse]

What dates are the AP rates available for?

[momfor4]

What exactly do i do when the AP rates come out? Is it one of those things where you have to be on the phone right away and know excatly what you want?? Or is there some time? What if you already have something booked and want to switch it over- what if it is with disney OR AAA how does a change in pricing work?

It sounds like it almost a race when the rates come out -is this true or not? Why?

The June, or part of June code will probably come out when the rest or April and May come out. (Last year it was March 9th)

Waiting for May! Arg! I want to finalize where we're going to stay! :badpc:

interesting to see last year's AP rates!

Here are some of the rates we've paid in the past several years. All of these rates are before tax. With the exception of the Dolphin and BWI stays, all were AP discounts.

June '05 - Split our stay - Pop $74/night - POR $109/night
June '04 - POR $74/night
June '03 - Split our stay - CBR $74/night - AKL $124/night
June '02 - POR - Around $84/night (not positive about this but close to this rate)
June '01 - Dolphin - $99/night - teacher rate
June '00 - CSR - $109/night
June '99 - BWI - $164/night - Summer discount (I think it was called "Hot Summer Nights" discount or something similar)
June '98 - YC - $169/night

[Disney Mama 2 Two]

jumping on the thread too...I've just started looking into AP rates as we are going this Christmas...Dec23-Jan3rd, I know the chances are slim but I'll keep looking.

Which deluxe would everyone recommend trying for 1st choice? 2nd choice? What type of view/room should I ask about? When the time does come if I call and just ask what is available for AP rates for my dates will the CM go through a list with me?

Thanks so much!!

Under the Annual Passholder discounts section on the DIS site, there is current information posted about the annual passholder room only discounts for 2/16/06-4/13/06 and 4/23/06-6/3/2006.
I used this information on Friday 2/24 and was able to save $100/night on a courtyard view room at the Wilderness Lodge 6/3-6/10/06. Since my stay started on the last day of the discount, I was still eligible for the discount for the entire stay. I have never been an annual passholder but I bought an annual pass on the spot and still saved about $500 on my trip total for June :)
