April 2013 AP discount watch! - Page 4 - The DIS Discussion Forums

gamberlane · 02-02-2013, 12:49 PM

I am already booked, I was trying to apply the discount to the existing reservation. The cast member tried booking a new reservation to see if we could get it that way and said there were simply no rooms with discounts at our resort left other than Club Level or suites.

I've tried getting to the AP section of the WDW reservation site and it keeps coming up blank for me and not working. Is there a way to use the regular site and get the AP discounts?

I did. I don't know how to go to the AP site. Or maybe that is where I was?

I went to the regular site. Places to stay. On the right I think it says Passholders offers, that is where I went from there.

It was just released yesterday. I booked yesterday but then rented points & got a much better deal in the end, so I cancelled the cash ressie.

Just booked Poly Theme Park View for April 6-14...25% off rack rate!

It seems the AP discounts this time around are for only certain levels or types of rooms. At POR for example there are no AP discounts on standard rooms but only Garden View or higher. I think it is the same at other resorts. We saved only $16 dollars or so by using the AP discount over the spring one.

Not sure if they are still available, but CBR did have standard view available with the discount. It was an additional 10% more than the GP discount for me.

Yeah, at the Poly, Grand Floridian and Contemporary, club level rooms are excluded.

It's sad but it seems they are severely cutting back on the AP discounts lately.

Haven't ever had an AP before so the AP discounts are new to me. Is there any chance that the discounts will be lower? Just wondering if there is any reason that I need to keep checking back for a lower price. I am already booked with the current AP discount.

The Contemporary is where I was trying to get the AP discount and there were NO normal rooms available the morning after the discount came out. The cast member said that there were Club level and suites available though, odd.

We just cannot afford Club level or a suite, and we looked into booking at Grand Floridian instead, but with the discount it brought it down to within a few dollars of the Contemporary room WITHOUT the discount, and all the hassle of having to change all the forms (because this is our honeymoon and we're getting married at the wedding pavilion while there) over for a different hotel didn't seem worth it for $3 in savings.

No, this is the best you're going to get so you can sit back and enjoy the countdown now.

Well, it took me a half hour on hold but I did apply the AP rate to my April reservation for a savings of $30.02 on a 4 night stay at Pop standard view, so that's 25% off at the values and 5% better than the GP offer... About what I expected since it was the same 5% better than general public for our March trip.
