Ap Code Is Out!

[rhiannonwales]

Interesting! I was on the phone with a great CM. However,the discount isn't too big. The code I was using is FBZ is that correct? I read earlier on this thread that it was SBZ. Did I give them a wrong code?

There was nothing available for week after Thanksgiving at Poly.

AKL for first week in December we saved a total of $12.00 for the week stay. The reason we were told was we were already on a AAA discount. We are staying in a concierge savannah view room. Well, 12.00 is better then nothing.

Has anyone been allowed to book a VISA discount without a Disney Visa? I heard someone was able to get the discount using a regular Visa????

That's weird. I originally had a AAA rate for my split stay.
GF Lagoon 10/18/ - 10/21 rack 485, AAA 437, AP 405 per night
AKL savannah 10/21 - 10/26 rack 330, AAA 297, AP 250
I got a much higher savings than you did, i wonder if they made a mistake? I was given the AP rate (75.00 off) of the rack rate of my rooms but i still save about 40.00 per night.

Question for experienced AP users. You can book up to 3 rooms with an AP. If I am at one resort can I book rooms at another for other traveling in my party or do we all have to be at the same resort?

I was gonna check in and give friend my pass to check in while we were doing something else.


I've used my AP once and was not asked to show it either.

Well I was on hold for about 25 minutes and tried to apply the discount to our reservations at the POFQ for Nov. 18th to 25th. There were no more discounts for that time. Also WL is completely booked for that time period. The CBR, POR, and CSR had rooms available at $115 a night. So I changed our reservations to the Coronado Springs Resort. Our previous reservations for two rooms costed us $2419.76, now with my AP discount the CSR will cost us $1811.00 for two rooms. Savings = $608.76 Awesome!!!

I tried to get Yacht or Beach for 11/29 through 12/3. They're both totally sold out.

We'll stick with the Dolphin. I've never stayed there and am looking forward to it. Just the idea of staying at Y&B for so little money got me excited.

If I May Ask...what Did You Pay For The Dolphin? Does The Swan And Dolphin Have Ap Discounts Too?

Sherrie, Thank you. I am going to call back and check. After all what can I loose? Just a little time. I'll come back and let everyone know what I found out.

Also, has anyone heard about the VISA savings being for ANY VISA, not just Disney?

WDW Website is back up and running!

I just got off the phone with a very kind CM, but for our dates at the GF, the AP rate was almost $300 (total) than my AAA rate. But, I have a Honeymoon Suite, so maybe that was it....

I stuck with my AAA rate...

It's not just you, don't worry. If you have one of the higher priced rooms reserved, the AAA discount is larger than the AP discount. It's because the AAA discount is a percentage off the price (in your case, 15%), but the AP discount is a flat dollar amount off. On the higher priced rooms the AAA discount is greater. DH called to see which way we would be better off for our room at the GF sugar loaf concierge, and the AAA discount was better for us than the AP rate.

Hi All!

I was able to change my AAA reservation and applied an AP discount for a regular Savannah view room at the AKL and saved $290.00 off of the AAA rate for a 10 night stay in December.

For those who are interested here are AP nightly rates for AKL for value season:

Standard Room: $134/nt
Pool Room: $159/nt
Regular Savannah: $214/nt
Deluxe Savannah: $279/nt
Concierge: $364/nt

When I called a few minutes ago it sounded like there were still rooms availabe in each of the above categories for the 2nd week of December.

Cheers,
Tracey

Question:i Am Considering Changing Our Ressie From 1st Week Of December To The Weekend Before Chrisitmas And Part Of Christmas Week. Is That Smart? Which Time Will Be More Crowded The Parade Filming Weekend Or Christmas Weekend? Would Love Any Advice.

You definitely don't want to switch to the week of Christmas. That is the absolute busiest time of the year according to all the Disney guidebooks and experts. We went in early December back in 2004 and had very light crowds the whole week. For the parade taping, only the MK was more crowded, and even then most of the crowd was on Main Street for the actual filming of the parade. We didn't find that the rides had long lines at all. Don't let the lack of discount availability scare you away from the 1st week of December.

I think it's just that concierge rooms are rarely discounted.

I had AAA discounts already and had no problems. I also just said I wanted to apply the AP code.

If I May Ask...what Did You Pay For The Dolphin? Does The Swan And Dolphin Have Ap Discounts Too?

I don't think the Swan and Dolphin have AP discounts. I'm using the government employee rate. It started at around 175 a night, but by the time I was done upgrading to an Epcot view with a balcony, I was up to 250 a night.

Haven't seen many people looking for our time frame so I'll post what they told me:

We're looking for 1 night only before our DVC stay at VWL. We needed Nov. 4 only. Nothing at all at WL. CR MK Guaranteed view was offered at $345. Poly completely unavailable. Was offered Lodge at GF in the mid $400's but not what I wanted.

Finally found standard at AKL for $169. That's $80 off rack rate during regular season. Booked it. Also asked about mods and she had CBR or POR (no FQ available) for $115. I didn't ask about Epcot area resorts but I might call back and check on those too.

Wonder if it's worth calling back again at another point to see if anything at WL has opened. It would be so much easier not to have to change resorts (beyond going from the hotel to the villas). Could just leave the bags w/ the valet and get them later on. Now we'll have to check out of AKL, bring the bags over and leave them for later if the room is not available.

Well, we've never done AKL so this will be a new experience for us.

I got 392.66 for the Grand Floridian, Lagoon View for the week of Dec 10-16, 2006.
Not included above.

Great availability for me for the one night I need (11/3)...DVC stay at OKW the other nights. I did not check every resort but, of the ones I checked online, only Contemp. and POFQ came up as not available.
The All Stars were right at $90/night
Mods were $129
AKL was $190
BW was $298
Poly $325
Yacht $388

Good luck to all.

 

[lillygator]

has anyone had any luck the first week (through 12/9) in December?

 

[gbrogers]

Pop Warner is that week. It may be severely limiting room availability.

 

[Noelle]

On the phone now...
My current reservation is at Contemporary 12/19 - 12/26 - Tower MK view -Rack Rate $433 a night. There's no discounts available for that date. CM said that since the Tower Rooms are sold out for that period there probably wouldn't be a discount available. No AAA - No AP. Gosh I sure hope the view is worth it!

....Could just leave the bags w/ the valet and get them later on. Now we'll have to check out of AKL, bring the bags over and leave them for later if the room is not available.

I don't know exactly how it works with the Villas or DVC....but, usually....when you change resorts or rooms, you can call and have them pick up your luggage from your room and transport it to your new resort. You can even leave your luggage in your room and head out to the parks and they will transfer your stuff to your new resort without you having to be there.
