AP rates in Dec.?

[Disneycrazymom]

Does anyone remember if there were AP rates last Dec.? If so when were they offered? Trying to decide if I should get an AP for our Aug trip to then use again in Dec. It would be definately worth it to get a good room rate! Thanks for the help!

They were for a longer period of time too...check in by December 26th I believe, whereas with most years it is Dec 19-20th...

Great rates...we stayed at AKL Savannah view for $129-$139 or so?

Does the AP rate include concierge rooms at the Deluxes too? Or is there a cap to how high a room you can book with it? I have heard some rates for GF lagoon view, but what about their concierge rooms, or YC or CR?

AP rates for Dec came out 8/28/03 and here is what I saved:

>>>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)


We have gotten discounts on the GF main building, poly concierge and 12th floor Contemporary as well as the AKL Concierge...good luck.

Thanks to all of you! I thought I remembered that they did come out for the Christmas Season, but since our trip was in Nov I didn't pay that much attention. I think an AP might be the way to go, then we won't feel as much pressure in the crowds and MIGHT even save some money on the room!
