FL resident and AP rates!

[catacog]

I Just hung up with two different CM's at CRO (I called to ask again after I got the first answer), and they said that new fall codes would most likely be released this weekend. They apparentely just got a preliminary memo about it!

Just wanted to pass along the info!

Oh, that would be fantastic!! We have 5 rooms booked at POR for October 16th - 25th and would love to be able to apply an AP discount to them

I'll be watching the boards for more info. Thanks for posting what you were told catacog!

I just noticed that was your first post...

Welcome to the DIS!

Woo Hoo! Thanks for the update. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[ophie]

That would be great news. Thanks for the update.

 

[Luvmickey28]

this is wonderful news.....
maybe this is why the website has been down for a while

I just read some bad news about the FL resident rates. Looks like it might be the "best rate program" just like the AP one. I saw it on a TA website. http://www.mousescapes.com/specials.html

Zandy, that would be terrible news. I'm encouraged by the fact that they have put the FL Resident rates online and have offered the 5 day cancellation for now.

Lots of Floridians travel on short notice. Many of us only stay at WDW resorts when discounts are available. The Best Rate plan isn't going to go over too well with residents, I don't believe.

I think they are guessing. I Checked the FL resident site, no way to book a "best rate" there.

I went to that site and it reads like the change has already happened. Maybe they know something that nobody else does, but it sounds a bit fishy. WDW advertises florida resident rates like crazy in the newspaper. Heck, the rate codes rarely come out 120 days in advance. WDW attracts fl residents on short notice. The program just doesn't fit.

I called today and was told that AP rates might not even be released. I hope that isn't true.

bumping to see how this situation works out!!

Have A Disney Day!!!

 

[mousemom218]

Nothing yet!
And a snippy response from the CM that these rates are not a sure thing and may not happen. Just keep waiting and checking, I guess!

You can call CRO and ask to have the rate applied to your existing reservation. If the code is avail for your resort, its not a problem. If there is no code avail for your resort/stay, they will give you other resort options to switch to if you ask.

No problem! You're allowed to book two rooms with your AP! Just be sure to be there with her when she checks in, to show your AP to the front desk.
