A.P. Hotel Rates September

[hotcarib]

1st let me apologize in advance if I am posting this in the wrong place.
I truly looked but didn't see where else I might post.
We are heading to Anaheim for the Haunted Mansion event end of September.
We plan to stay 28 September-2 October. I just bought A.P. passes last night so I don't have access (yet) to the restricted part of the Disneyland site. Have the September codes been posted yet or does anybody have a discount code so i can go ahead and make reservations at the DL hotel?
Thanks (so much!) in advance,
Janice

There's a code for August, but not September at this time.

Thanks~
If I make reservations at the DL hotel using AAA rate
can I change them once the A.P. rates are announced for September?
You know it seems so much easier booking WDW.
I grew up in Placentia so we never stayed at the hotels..but every time we go getting a decent rate is like jumping through hoops.
I was rambling...thanks,
Janice

Janice, I too am waiting for Sept AP rates to come out. I keep calling so let's post here if one of us finds out when they come out!

I have been to a few Disneyland events in the past. When I called for a hotel reservation, I told them I was attending an event and asked if there were special AP rates. It is worth a try.

Andrea...
You have got a deal;-)
Do you think I shoild go ahead and make AAA rezzies until A.P. rates are posted?

I am looking to see if there are any codes for beginning of November, so I will keep an eye out to see if you guys find anything out about AP rates as well....We do not have to stay onsite, but it sure makes it convenient, and hubby might go for it if it is a great rate. We'll see

I do not live in Vegas now, but born and raised there -- 18 years, just wanted to say hi!

Hi,
I imagine when you visit Vegas you find it vastly changed;-)
I have my A.P. passes but I forgot we need to validate them at the park..so I will not have the barcode to gain access to the A.P. part of the DL site.
Any help with Sept. codes is vastly appreciated..or is it O.K. to book with the AAA rate and then change it to the A.P. rate upon arrival?
Thanks,
Janice

hotcarib,

Hello to my fellow Las Vegan! I just read on another site that new AP rates for September have been released. The code is APW. I just called and was quoted $99 for Sun-Thurs and $119 for Fri/Sat at the PP. DLH is also available for $119/$139. I checked for GCH, but for some reason the lowest rate the CM could find was over $300/nt.

You should call for reservations and tell them that you have your AP and will be validating it upon arrival. Many times I have not had my AP with me when I called, and the CM said to just make sure I had it when I checked in....no prob. getting the reservatin without it.

We are going 9/18-9/23 staying at GCH in a 3 bed suite w/ my Dad. The CM tried her best but couldn't get the AP code to work for the suites, so we still at least get the standard 10% AP discount. At suite prices, any penny counts!! LOL

Which side of town are you on?

Lisa,
{{{xoxo}}}
You absolutely and totally rock!!!!
I can't thank you enough!!!
Thanks to you we are staying at the DL hotel in (husband's favorite) the Sierra tower on one of the higher floors. The rate for all 3 nites is $537.05 tax inclusive...YIPEE!!!!
We are actually driving in so coming home on Saturday makes way more sense. It is insane to try driving into Vegas on Friday night!!! Have you ever had the misfortune of picking up compant from McCarran on Friday evening...I get a headache just thinking about it. Anyhow we are over in the far flung Northwest...how bout you and yours?
Again thanks so much!!!!
Janice

I'm so glad you were able to get such an awesome rate for Sierra upper floor...YEAHHHHH! Sierra's our fav. also at the DLH, especially with the DTD view. A cool tip that we learned is that if you can get one of the rooms directly next to the concierge elevator the rooms are larger than the norm!! We had one of these in July, and the room was probably 1/3 wider than the regular rooms.

Have a great trip!!!! And yes, I can feel your pain about McCarran Airport on a Friday night--UGH. (or actually just anywhere near the strip on a weekend!) We are not too far from you, in the far west Summerlin area. Speaking of driving into Vegas on a Fri. night...guess what rookie move we made last month...(and we make approx. 5 trips to DL a year, so we're not really rookies at the drive)...we were planning on leaving Mon. a.m. but got a great last minute rate at the DLH so we decided to leave Sunday instead (not even thinking). Can you say TRAFFIC the whole way to Anaheim--it was just awful. The saddest part is that I have posted on this website and a few other Disney sites advice on driving between Vegas and Anaheim and my first thing to post is never, ever drive to Vegas on a Friday and never ever drive to LA on a Sunday. Guess I should have taken my own advice!! LOL

So glad I was able to help!! That's the best part of these boards...giving and receiving!!

Hi Ladies, So glad to hear that you both got a deal! We are not sure if we
are going now so I am kinda bummed about that! Also didn't get to jump on those
rates right away as my computer was down for over a week! Hope you guys have
a great trip and yes, last October we drove to California on Sunday night and NEVER
again!


Andrea

By the way, we are over in Green Valley!

I just called for Sept. 1-4 and they quoted me 169.00 for the first two nights and 199.00 for the second two at the GC. I don't know if this will apply for you, but you could try.

 

[hotcarib]

Hi,
Yes we are really excited and got the A.P. rate.
It's odd that for DL reservations you really have to leap on the rates almost as soon as they are posted but for WDW you can often book (using A.P.) just a week or two prior.
How do I know this? ;-)
I am the queen of last minute holidays!!
Anyhow thanks to all!
I'll report after we get back,
Janice
