Anyone waiting for AP rates after 8/8?

[M2DD's]

I'll have to post more later but I just tried to modify my resort ressie to the AP rate at a value for 64$. I was told that the weekend I'll be there isn't discounted and its at regular rack rate of 82$ it was cheaper to stay with the visa code offer. I'm going to call back and speak with another CM.
The weekend was August 14 & 15th

Called just to see and the AP prices for our CR and AKL stay were the exact same price I had with a pin code I got a couple of weeks ago. So I just stayed with what we had.

CR Tower Bay Lake View = 325.13/night with tax
AKL Savannah View = 229.50/night with tax

Rates are out today. I was not able to get Poly for Aug 17-21. But did get Boardwalk Aug. 13-17.

UPDATE:
I called and spoke with anothe CM and she said that the weekend was discounted and the other CM must of been "misinformed" or entered something wrong on her computer. I was able to get all nights for $64.

It looks like the rate are the same as last yrs AP discount except they go through October 3rd.

Hope everyone gets what they were looking for

Keep trying back. Something may open up later today. With everyone calling an trying to switch around rates and dates something may open up at the poly

As soon as the AP website is updated(sometimes it takes a few days) If anyone would like me to look up dates and rates I am more than willing to help you out. All I would need is where you would like to stay and dates.

I just called, thanks to you guys, and wanted to change my Poly ressie for 8/23-8/30...rack rate 355...AP rate 279 Garden View (which did not include the weekends)...Pretty pathetic discount if you ask me!

I called back to verify that this price was correct and it was, so I changed my ressie to AKL, Savannah view for 229.50 per night. Never stayed at AKL so I hope I made the right choice.

Good luck everyone!

AKL is a great resort, especially if you got a SV! You will love it. Totally different experience! Enjoy.

AP Rates out.... k, i have to say i'm super surprised about the rates for a value... $64??? That is what i paid in May, with Sept being in the Value season, thats not too much savings... I mean something is better than nothin... just surprised.... and only value i could pull up was All Star Music.

On that note, i do already have the 40% off code that i'm using which has put me at All Star Sports... just was hoping for a match on my pin and to be able to stay at POP... but looks like all values are booked up... oh well, atleast im goin!!

(btw, i'm a solo traveler, I would love to stay at a moderate, its just more economical for me to stay at a value, and i can stay longer!)

I agree. I have a pin discount for October and have Pop for $64 a night and that is regular season. $64 for value season is 16% off. Oh well want do you do? We were thinking of adding on a couple of days, so I'll be rethinking this for a bit.

Yeah, I have POFQ booked for 10/3 to 10/7 for $102.00 with the PIN code. With the "new" rates, I could get it for $89/night, but would have to move my trip to September. I tried all sorts of dates and the best I could do was 9/19 - 9/23. It would be $58 less, but I don't really want to go in September so I think I'll stick with what I have for now.

Just called and changed our reservation for CBR, pirate room and saved 135$ for 2 nights! That is exacly 30% off - I am VERY happy with that!!

 

[maryfree]

I booked the poly..for 5 nights with the dining plan for 2 adults and 2 kids for 1,900 for mid August..I am very happy with that...cant wait to try the dining plan

I'd already applied the Disney Visa code, but the AP rate was slightly better. Got 7 nights in a CBR pirate room in September (std. view) for $114/night. The AP rate ended up saving me an extra $65 over the Disney Visa code and a whopping $465 off the original cost.

I just called and added an extra night we needed with my AP rate - we booked flights a day sooner than our DVC reservation since it saved each family $300 on flights, so I've been looking for a cheap place to stay onsite for one night - was able to book the same accommodations we have for our two week vacation so we don't have to move at all - got a two bedroom at OKW for a Saturday night (Aug 22) for $460, instead of paying the regular rate of $652, plus we're going with another family and sharing the two bedroom, so it only cost each of us $230.
Very happy and now have an extra day of Disney!!!

My Bounceback rate (-30 %) is a better deal at the Poly than either the Visa code(which didn't cover GV for my dates) or the AP rate.
I'm happy that it helped some others out.

Wow, I don't know how some folks are seeing the rates online. I cannot get that far. I can see the AP offer online extending to Oct 3. I can get to "book now" and put in my dates online, but then when I try to go further to see what rates the individual resorts are offering, it says,

"System Unavailable
We are currently experiencing a problem with our reservation system that is preventing us from booking your vacation package or retrieving your reservation right now. Please try your request again later"

And it tells me to call, which I did, but I would love to go through my labor of love comparing rates since I am a resortaholic.

I have not been able to see the individual resort rates since they appeared, but I notice others are able to check for other people to see, for example, what the BC is offering.

*updated to add that I FINALLY got into the AP site online after 7 hours of checking* From past experience, I know this can change from one minute to the next, so I'm happy I got in.

 

[jordancej]

Not sure why you cant pull it up... what dates are you looking for? I just tried again, and i was able to pull it up. Weird??
