A glimmer of hope for passholders...

[IMGONNABE40!]

I just got off the phone with a CM. I called to cancel my upcoming reservation May 6-9. After waiting about 30 minutes (way longer then the "less than 11 minutes" anticipated wait time...) I told the very pleasant CM that I was calling to cancel my upcoming trip. She asked what brought on the cancellation. I told her that I really didn't want to cancel, that actually I wanted to upgrade my resort and upgrade my room only to a package. But, since the passholder rates were not available for my dates, I was just going to cancel and go elsewhere.

Her response... "Well, the May passholder rates will be available tomorrow." Really?!? I asked her if I could go ahead and book now since I was holding, well...way longer than 11 minutes already and she said I couldn't since the codes were not yet in the system. "Oh, says I...I will need a code?" And she says no, the new passholder rates will be available tomorrow for all passholders.

I sure hope that is accurate and not that she didn't want to end her shift with a cancellation... I told her I'd be calling tomorrow and she said they'd be available until 10 PM.

I spoke to a CM a few hours ago to get a room for the scavenger hunt, and she said, very slyly, "I see you are a frequent visitor - I assume you are a passholder. You should have hope very soon". Exact words... I was like, am I speaking to Yoda rn?! And then she went on to talk about how everyone was excited to work overtime for all of the requests that will come in to apply passholder discounts to previously booked trips... a little strange to be admitting to me, but hey, if it means discounts really are coming, YIPPEEEEE!

I called a today, too, and was told by my CM that he couldn't say anything else but that the AP discounts were going to be coming out very soon. He repeated "soon" a couple of times.

I sure hope they cover Easter... a long shot I know but a girl can dream right?

I don't know why but about a month ago I got an AP e-mail Pin Didn't even know they exisited, have gotten other pins before but never a AP pin.

I don't remember exactly what was offered but we took the 40% deluxe. Had it applied to our room only reservation.

Mission accomplished! Got AP rate for my dates May 6-9. The updated dates are not showing on the website yet, but I called and they said the rates were available for May. Sorry, I forgot to see how far out the dates extended. Good luck everyone!

Any chance you can share what the discounts are? Even though they aren't posted yet, even when they are I can't check the website since our AP's aren't active yet- we got the vouchers for our Escape wedding but we're waiting to activate them until we arrive in WDW.

April 25 to June 2. that's what i was just told. what the heck is up with that! she said the same thing when she got the memo this AM.

this deff wasn't the case last year. the rates were released the middle of march (pretty sure) and they went through a quarter.

but only 1 month extra released per the CM

35% off most deluxe
30% off most moderates and Animal Kingdom Lodge and Polynesian
25% off most value resorts and Port Orleans French Quarter
20% off All Star Music
15% off the campsites

Okay, so basically AP rates are here that cover one month So it is easier to get a GP rate now than an AP rate, makes the decision on renewing the AP easy now.

The room discounts were one of the most attractive features of the AP for our family without them or with relase of AP pins to select holders it is no longer fiscally responsible to purchase them.

Any hoo, after all this waiting, I called this am only to be told that I already have a general code that is better than the AP rate! What's the point in being a passholder?!
