AP Discount Questions

[Carl4628]

Haven't been a passholder in about 5 years. I used to book the room that I wanted and then simply had the AP rate applied when it was released. In addition, I used to book the rate without being a "Current" passholder and then just purchased the pass closer to check-in. Is this still possible? That is, making an AP reservation without having the pass in hand?

Yes and yes. You can still apply the AP discount to an existing reservation as long as it is available. And you can make an AP reservation before purchasing your AP.

How do you know if an AP reservation discount is available though? I thought you can't see what the discounts are unless you have an AP?

I just did this a couple months ago... Online you need to have an AP attached to your account. Doesn't have to be active, a voucher works. But you can call to get the AP rate.

If you're just curious if a discount is available, you can look here (you might need to select Filter and choose 'Passholder'):

It won't tell you anything specific (which resorts, rooms, precise rate, etc) but I check it daily just to see if a discount has become available for our travel dates. You can also find out by calling.

Edit: I have purchased but not activated my AP, and I'm able to view (and book) Passholder rates when I sign in. If you haven't purchased an AP but discover a discount and would like to know what the rate is, you can call. I did this when we were thinking about becoming passholders. So one of the perks to being a Passholder is that I no longer have to place frequent calls to Disney. Lol.
