This past January I did a split stay and with an AP got a courtyard view at WL for $149.00 and a savanna view at AKL for $151.00. I just got back (May 22nd) and the AP rates this time were not near as good as they have been historically (only a flat $100.00 across the board off for Deluxes), so I stayed at POP for $79.00/night, whereas in January POP would have been $49.00/night with an AP discount. I don't know if the current trend will continue, however I am curious as I will be going back in late Sept and again in mid December and would like to get a good AP rate. If not, I probably won't be renewing my AP and will definitely not be making four trips back to WDW next year. For my May trip I used an AP discount for four nights at POP and rented DVC points at BWV for five nights. I will probably try to rent points again for my Sept and for my Dec trip, as it would probably still be cheaper than the AP rate. We'll just have to wait and see.
