AP Code better than BB for us. Yippeeee

Just logged into the AP site and priced out our dates we had reserved for May and the AP rate on BC Club Level GV was $240 less than our BB rate we had. Every little bit helps.

Yep, us too. While at WDW last week we booked a bounceback at GF for April, which was 40% off. The AP rate is 45%, so we saved about $300 total.

Same here. When we were at WDW Dec 12th-20th I booked three bounceback ressies for 2010 (May, Oct, and Dec). When I called yesterday the new AP discount beat the May bounceback by $165.00 plus I didn't have to buy another one day park ticket I didn't need in order to add the DDP. Now if the same deal would just come out for my Oct and Dec trips, I'd be canceling two more bounceback deals.

Too funny, we did the exact same thing! Keeping the one day tickets for April wouldn't have been that big of a deal since we're renewing our AP's then and could have applied them towards that, but I would rather do the passholder + dine package. It was a bonus that the % discount was higher, too. Now I just need July and December AP deals, and I can modify my other 2 bouncebacks...

Hey, in addition to the three 35% off bounceback deals I booked when I was there a couple of weeks ago, I also booked a bounceback for free dining for Sept 25th-Oct 3rd when I was there in Sept. There is no way I'm going to WDW Sept 25th-Oct 3rd for free dining and then again Oct 23rd-Oct 31st with the 35% off bounce back that I booked a couple of weeks ago when we were there. I'm leaning more towards keeping the late Oct one and giving up the free dining trip, so went ahead and paid that one off last week. If I do decide to keep the free dining deal or free dining is extended or if a better AP discount comes out for late Oct, I can always just have them switch my money around. Regardless, the fall trip is paid in full, plus I'll get back the $500.00 I've also paid on the earlier Sept/Oct trip, in addition to any I'll get back if a better deal comes out again. Hopefully it will be enough to pay off the Dec bounce back deal. I'm not paying any more on that one until I know for sure. Disney has my money, but I know all three of my upcoming 2010 trips are paid for and can now start saving for 2011 trips.

Do you think Disney might be offering too many discounts. It's hard to keep running the numbers every time a new discount comes out to see if it's better than what I already have. Having an AP, Disney knows they already have my money, but I now have reservations for free dining bounceback for the fall, 35% off bounceback for the spring, fall, and winter, and am looking for AP discounts or Disney Visa discounts to see if they can beat my fall and winter discounts. Disney should just offer us their best deal for the entire year every January 1st.

I don't want to buy any more one day park tickets. I have plenty I've accumulated over the last couple of years where I've used deals that required buying one day passes (back before AP holders could purchase the DDP without buying one day passes, free dining for the last several Septs and this past Dec plus the buy 4 get 3 deal from last spring). You can only use one per year to upgrade to an AP. If you accumulate more than one a year, you're pretty much stuck with them. I guess I'll use them eventually though. lol
