AKL reservation? How do I do this ?

[Debby7]

My daughter will be participating in the WDW college program this spring/summer. As a cast member, she will be able to book accomodations for 50 % of rack rate. My DH and I have always wanted to stay at AKL. Should I wait until DD can make the reservation(late April) or should I book a room now and then try to have the rate adjusted? I also have an AP. We want to go in mid July. Will DD be able to book room in late April or will the rooms all be gone? Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thanks !

There is a special cast member reservation number you call. She will need to show her ID at the front desk of AKL for you to receive the special rate.

Do not plan on her being able to get you a reservation. There are a limited number of CM discounted rooms and they go quickly when they are released.
Also, I don't believe that the discount will be as much as 50%.

I'm sorry to not have better news for you, but I just hate for you to be counting on the discount. Of course, you may be lucky and she'll be able to get you a great discount on the room you want.
