AP discounts for December?

[wyccanchik]

When do they usually have that information available?

We already booked our room, but the WDW person on the phone said that you can call back and get the AP rate even after you are booked.

Anyone have any experiences with this?

Does anyone know about when they list AP room rates for that time of year?

Thanks!

Last year they came out August 28th. I marked it down so that I would remember.

>>>WDW Annual Passholders can ask for Code ### and get special discounted rates at select Walt Disney World resorts for check-ins 10/2/03-11/24/03 and 11/28/03-12/26/03. Discounts range from approximately 30-45% off regular rack rates. Availability seems to be very limited, particularly for October -- you may need to be flexible about dates and/or resorts to take advantage of these rates. Note that these dates include Value, Regular and Holiday seasons, so rates for the same hotel will vary widely. Some reported rates:
· All Stars - $49 standard (Value and Holiday season), $69 standard (Regular season)
· Moderates - $79 standard (Value season), $89 king (Value season), $99 standard (Regular season), $109 king (Regular season), $140 Coronado junior suite (Regular season)
· Animal Kingdom Lodge - $109 standard (Value and Holiday season), $129 standard (Regular season), $149 pool view (Value season), $165 pool view (Regular season), $154 savannah view (Value and Holiday season), $179 savannah view (Regular season), $209 deluxe savannah view (Value season), $249 concierge (Value season)
· Wilderness Lodge - $109 standard (Value season), $125 woods view (Value and Holiday season), $140 courtyard view (Value and Holiday season), $165 courtyard view (Regular season), $219 concierge (Value season), $259 honeymoon room (Regular season)
· Ft. Wilderness Cabin - $134 (Value season)
· Contemporary - $229 tower (Value season), $249 tower (Regular season)
· Boardwalk/Beach Club/Yacht Club - $174 standard (Value season), $209 water view (Value season), $294 concierge (Regular season)
· Polynesian - $170 garden view (Value season), $204 garden view (Regular season), $235 garden view concierge (Value season), $285 lagoon view concierge (Value season)
· Grand Floridian - $199 garden view (Value season), $239 lagoon view (Value season)


It will not help us this year and they may not even come out with codes like Mary cautions all the time - but I drove myself crazy last year trying to remember so I just decided to save it.

Enjoy!

Wow! Thanks so much for that info. I have been wondering about rates for December, too. If we don't go too far over the edge with this trip, it might be nice to go back in December for the Christmas decorations. What fun!

When do the AP rates usually come out for December?

 

[lillygator]

WOW! Is this for real? Did anybody get this rate? Tell me more. PLEASE!

what if we book now-can we get the rate for AP if/when it comes out?

 

[suzywindy]

Last year rates came out 8/28. We have always been lucky enough to get the rates that were posted and we did see others post that they did get the $49.00 rate for All Stars.

We always book our trip first and when the rates come out is when we switch. But we always make sure we can afford the trip even without the codes just in case they decide not to offer the codes.

We book in January for Dec. Then we tweak it 1,000 times.

We bought AP's for our trip in August and will be returning in Dec. for dd's 5th birthday. We are hoping to stay at WL....Guess I'll have to book this soon so I can get that AP rate when we get back!!!
