Annual Passholder discounts

[AdamsMum]

I would like to plan a trip with my dear friend, who for personal reasons needs her own room. TShe has expressed an interest in going to WDW, because she saw the pictures I took from the AKV room balcony I where I stayed 5 years ago. She's an animal lover. I'm thinking of Jambo House since I could be in the DVC room and she could be in her standard room. I'm retiring in 2020 and she is already retired. Like all of you, I've already planned ahead for my 2019 trip.

1. If I book on points for me and an AP discount comes up for rooms, could I book a room for her or would my name have to be on the reservation?

2. Would I still be able to have my DVC reservation if I'm on the reservation with her?

I don't own at AKV so I doubt I'd be able to get 2 studios at seven months out. I'm usually in borrowing mode, so don't know if I'll have enough points for a 2 bedroom which would be almost like her having her own room, she could have the studio section and lock the door if she likes.

We are thinking of going February 1 - 8, 2020. In between MLK and President's Days.

I'm always nervous about bringing a newbie, but my newbies have all been impressed, so far.

February at AKV? I think getting two studios at 7 months would be easy.

You think? Okay, that's definitely an option.

Not 2 months after Star Wars: GE opens

I seriously doubt any studios anywhere will be available at 7 months for months on end.

My serious guess is every single studio in Feb will be booked by 10 months out. The faster they go, the more people will jump while they still can.

Right, I didn't have that in my timeline. Maybe I need to save points for a 2 bedroom unit. This may be my first purchase of one time use points. Maybe we should try for before SW:GE opens. I know she isn't into huge crowds. Oh what to do?

Sandy and I used to get AP Discounts.... back when they actually existed, around 2012 .
Today? Good luck. The GP Discounts come out first, AP get leavings (HINT: book GP, lurk, and CALL if a better AP offering emerges).

Tiring of the diminishing "AP discount lottery"? We became very HAPPY DVC owners .

Thanks. With SW opening, there might not be any discounts at all. C'est la vie!
