AP discount on hotels

[MAJ RN]

My family and I are planning a trip to WDW in March of 2005. I plan to buy AP's because we will be there for 12 days. I have heard of the great discounts that you can sometimes get on resort hotels. Do the AP's have to be active to get the discount? Any info would be greatly appriciated!!

Thanks,
Melissa

MAJ RN,

Nurse? Anyway, We just got back in Jan. Checked in at the CR with only the vouchers, not activated passes--got the AP rate without a problem. Actually, before we bought the DVC, we did this quite frequently. Some CMs, however, may insist that the AP must be active. Just ask to speak to a manager, they will usually require that you show them your activated passes later in the day. Although, we have checked in on several occassions with only the voucher.

Remember to keep checking these boards or calling WDW as soon as the codes are released. You do NOT have to have the pass or voucher in hand to make a ressie.

Have a GREAT TRIP!!

Keep an eye on: www.mousesavers.com for discounts. We have had AP's for several years and have had AP discount room rates 15 to 20 times. We have never been asked to see our AP's while checking in. We always had a vouchure or the AP itself ready, just in case we were asked.

What field of nursing? Cardiologist here.

A year gives you plenty of time for planning!

i asked one of the CM's on the phone that question because we are hoping to go in June and definately going in April. We are not AP pass holders but thinking about it if we do the 2 trips... I don't want to activate my passes until we go because of the timing and he said to just show the paperwork of the AP's with the numbers on it and it will be okay.
