Does anyone know if room discounts are being offered any time this year for AP for the new AOA Resort? I noticed that it was excluded with the free dining plan offer and wondered due to it's popularity if it was also excluded to APs?

I'm trying to determine if it will be a cost savings for us to purchase AP's for the upcoming year while keeping in mind it would be fun to check out the new resort.

TIA!
 
1) Free Dining
. . . Family Suites do not do free dining
. . . they are full enough not to have to give discounts
. . . also, there are too many people per room
. . . they would be giving way too much money
. . . each resort pays for Free Dining, not ticketing
. . . so, General Managers use discounts only if they need to
2) AP, AAA and Florida Resident Discounts
. . . all resorts give such discounts
. . . it is just a matter of how many are offered
. . . you have to make a ressie as soon as they are available
. . . once gone, they *normally* do not add more
 
Thanks for your response but I'm not sure it answered my original question.

AP rates are available only through June 14, 2012 right now. Since the first AoA section opens May 31st - there don't appear to be AP discounts between May 31 and June 14 at that resort. You don't have to have an AP at the time you book the room - just when you check in.

**I take that back! I checked different dates (May 31-June 6) for 2 adults and 2 children. Rack rates at the Finding Nemo Family Suite are:

Date Rate per Night

Thu, May 31 $ 304.00
Fri, Jun 01 $ 395.00
Sat, Jun 02 $ 395.00
Sun, Jun 03 $ 345.00
Mon, Jun 04 $ 345.00
Tue, Jun 05 $ 345.00
Wed, Jun 06 $ 345.00

The Passholder rates are:

Date Rate per Night

Thu, May 31 $ 288.80
Fri, Jun 01 $ 375.25
Sat, Jun 02 $ 375.25
Sun, Jun 03 $ 327.75
Mon, Jun 04 $ 327.75
Tue, Jun 05 $ 327.75
Wed, Jun 06 $ 327.75
 

Thanks so much NancyIL!

It looks like there are going to be some discounts at times so possibly there will be in November too. One more reason to lean towards upgrading to AP's for this year.
 
Yay! So excited to see this thread. So I can change to the AP discount after I get my AP, right?? I have reserved a room for next Feb, but won't be getting the AP until May.

Thanks for all your help, you guys are wonderful!

You can change to an AP rate IF one is offered for your dates.

If there is an AP rate offered, you can book it even if you don't have the actual AP yet, you just have to be able to produce it at check in.
