AP Rates after 7/4

[cbird]

Great that the AP Codes are finally out. Does anyone know when I could expect rates for July andAugust to come out?
Also what time do the codes become available? I live in the UK 6 hours ahead of you folk in the US. So 9am here would be 3am with you guys. Are CR open 24hours or not?
Thanks

Last year the AP rates for July 5th and beyond came out on May 8. CRO is open from 7am to 10 pm. I'm just getting used to the UK being 6 hours ahead because my ds is doing a study abroad semester in London.

someone told me this morn not to expect July/Aug discounts until May

Just an addition to what Disneymomx7 said. The times listed are eastern time--7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. eastern time, so with a six hour difference, that would be 1:00 p.m. in the U.K.

If I were you, I would make a reservation using Dreams Unlimited and just let them get you the rate!

Hi DisneymomX7 which uni is your daughter attending.

Thanks CarolA I think I willdo that. Assuming there are discounts for that time what do you think the AKL and the BWI rooms will come out at. Any idea?

Hi DisneymomX7 which uni is your daughter attending.

It's my son, and he's at Middlesex University. He is really enjoying London and is seeing all the sites. He's going over to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day and really looking forward to that. He tells me how friendly the British people have been to him and how much he is enjoying your country!

butting in to say they will probably be about $100 less a day(at least I am hoping) I also wanted to add that today some people were told that rooms had been booked with the AP rate last nite! I am using DU and they got me the rate this AM for the first part of our trip. So far LOVE them.

I seem to remember mid may too. And I think better availability than this time

Thanks I thinkI will use DU. A one hour call on hold from the UK at that time may pretty much wipe out any saving I would make.

Hi cbird,
I can add to the recommendation of using a disney specialist. Dreams Unlimited sound great. Just to give you another choice, you could also look into Small World Vacations. You can read about them here on the mousesavers website http://www.mousesavers.com/travelagent.html and there's a link there to their website. I'm booking my trip through them and they are absolutely wonderful! My TA there got me *exactly* what I wanted yesterday.... Wilderness Lodge 6 nights + POFQ 6 nights at great AP discounts for June 24th to July 6th. I'm thrilled! Both agencies sound wonderful. I am so happy I chose to go this route instead of booking the resort myself. I was able to work all day yesterday and just waited for an email and when it came through, there it was, great discounts, all the work done for me! I was a bit nervous at first but the TA is so nice, always emailing me, she put my mind at ease. The time difference bothered me too and also, the one time I did ring Disney CR a few months back (making an enquiry) the CM there couldn't understand a word I was saying with my Irish accent. LOL!!! I wasn't about to go through that again during the mania of discount day! You get a toll free number from DU and from Small World. Those numbers aren't free when ringing from abroad so the TA at Small World rang me at no charge. Incredibly good customer service. Good luck!

Thanks Deb

Will try that I think. We are booked at the Dolphin for the last week of our holiday but thought I might try for AKL or WL for the first week if I can get a AP rate.Depends on the cost as I will need 2 rooms. Thanks again. I have the same prob with people understanding me on the phone. I live in the Isle of Man and everyone thinks I am from Liverpool!!!!
