AP Room+Dine

[helloirishkitty]

Forgive me for the dumb questions but I haven't made reservations through WDW in awhile!

We are out of DVC Points sad1 for the year and are adding an extra week to the front of our October trip. I am planning on booking the AP room+dine package on wdw.com.

My question is if the AP room rate comes out later, can I apply it to my package or is the room+dine package as discounted as it's going to get?

For 3 adults and a 3 year old at AOA in a Cars Family Suite with regular dining from 9/28-10/4 is 2,878.60.

In the past I've been able to get a discounted room rate (when the AP discounts come out) and then add dining to that. You'll pay full price for the DDP, but get a discounted room.

I'm not sure how it work if you have an existing AP ticket less package. My guess is that if there is availability, they'll let you transfer the reservation. I usually start with a room only reservation because it's easier to cancel. You have to pay a larger deposit (one night stay), but you aren't subject to the 45-day full payment rule (i.e., more flexibility).

I did think about doing room only but I'm concerned that AOA won't be included in the AP room only rates when they come out, and that there may not be any rooms left when they do.
