AP Room Discounts

[KandD]

How far ahead do they usually come out? I just got an AP for the first time last month and we are staying for a week in September (starting the weekend of Labor Day). When could I expect the discounts (if there are any) for this time to come out?

ETA...I forgot to add, do they come out at the same time as the regular discounts?

I am wondering about this also! I tried to book a certain room type with the 40 % off code this week. I was told they don't discount this room type unless it was a pass holder discount, which isn't out yet for our dates.

So my questions is when do they come out?

How much of a discount are they usually?



Thank you,

I currently have a split stay at CSR and AKL booked for my May trip. With the AP discount I'm getting 40% off the moderate and 45% off the deluxe. I also used the AP discount last Sept and got 40% off a moderate.

The AP code for May came out, I believe the last week of Dec or first week of Jan, so about five months out.

We are definitely going the week of Labor Day, we just have to wait until April to book because up until April my dad and my bf can get bumped at their job for vacay time (so I guess I shouldn't say definitely but more than likely...)

Anyway, we might actually stay in a deluxe for the first time if there is a 40% code. If the codes are not out by the time we book, can be book at a moderate and upgrade to a deluxe if we end up getting a discount? Is it complicated to switch reservations like that?

I always had trouble trying to remember what was offered, and search wasn't working too well for a while there, so I started trying to keep the info from each offer in a Word file throughout the year

Thank you for the info Seahunt. Sounds like a good deal if it is offered this year.

So we just keep our eyes and ears open for the release. I can't believe I am already getting excited!

KandD, I was roaming around in the signiture area, thinking about changing my avator, then I noticed the DIS doesn't offer our cute 101 puppy any longer. So I'm keeping my cute lil baby!

We are definitely going the week of Labor Day, we just have to wait until April to book because up until April my dad and my bf can get bumped at their job for vacay time (so I guess I shouldn't say definitely but more than likely...)

I called WDW the day before the 40 % pin codes came out, hadn't heard a thing about it. We were thinking about AKL for a few nights. I specifically ask if there was a pin code attached to my name. She checked and said there was! I booked for October. The next day I got the pin code in my e-mail. It might be a good idea to CALL NOW and book with the code (if you have it attached to your name) you can always cancel if your dad and bf get bumped for vacation time. WDW is not like DL, you can cancel with full refund up to 30 days before. If you have a Good reason they will let you cancel within the 30 day window too. DL charges you $ 100.00 for 30 days out and over, $200.00 for less then 30 days. Unless it is a medical emergency or simular event.

I always had trouble trying to remember what was offered, and search wasn't working too well for a while there, so I started trying to keep the info from each offer in a Word file throughout the year

You are my kind of person! Thank you for sharing with us.
