Another question about AP rates

[mslangen]

Hi all,

Now I'v got another question about these AP rates. Just did the math and it seems that I will save about $80 dollars when I get the AP rate and buy an Premium Annual Pass instead of the 10 day premium ticket with expiration. Also I have the benefit of visiting another time within one year without paying for admission (not sure at this time).
The only thing is that it is not possible for me to present an activated AP on my arrival day. We will possibly arrive after 11pm, so even downtown Disney is not an option at that time, not to say that we will be tired by then.
Should it make sense to split the reservation, so that I have one reservation for the first night at rack rate and the other 12 nights at the AP rate? We prefer to stay at the same resort. Has anyone split a reservation like this before for this particular reason?
At the moment I don't know if it is worth all the extra hassle and the strange looking faces at check in.

What do you think?

Marcel.

I'm a little confused by your post. Are you worried that because you will have not have an activated AP that you will not get the AP rate? I have read on these boards (alot of places on here to be exact) that you can show your voucher and they will let you show the actual AP pass once you get back from getting it activated (the next day). If you do not show your AP, then you will be charged rack rate. I may be wrong, but I know that I have read that statment on here. Hopefully someone that has actually done this will post also and say that I am correct in saying this!!!!
