AP Room-Only Release Date for Stays After June 6

[Cinderumbrella]

I know!! Our balance is due on May 14 Come on codes!

I just paid off my trip yesterday (45 day point) They will probably be out any day now!

 

[disneylover74]

Just subscribing. Hoping for an AP discount for our June trip to CR!

 

[SRUAlmn]

I know! I have ASMo on hold right now but I'd like to switch to a mod if the discount is good enough.

Hey! We'll be there a week apart and we're from Charleston too Have a great trip

today I booked our Sunday-Thursday nights at OKW so now I'm waiting on the weekend rates. (either before or after our stay)

Maybe this week???? What was the other rumor... May 9th or something? I don't remember.

Last year the room-only AP rates for May 26-August 2 were released on May 7. I'm assuming they'd be released around the same time this year. I guess they won't be early (or at least not super early) at this point. As long as they're out before my balance is due on May 14 I'll be a happy camper

 

[SRUAlmn]

OK, here's the history:

Last year - released on May 7 (a Wednesday)
2007 - released on May 16 (a Wednesday - only for Mods and Deluxes/DVC)
2006 - they were only released for Deluxes/DVC on 2 different dates 5/17 (a Wednesday) & 6/8 (a Thursday)


So based on past history, it seems as though they are frequently released on Wednesdays, which would mean my guess is either this Wed (4/29) or next Wed (5/6.)

Just a thought

Should I just book the room using AAA? If an AP rate comes out can I just switch?

I'm pretty close to doing exactly that. I don't want to risk missing out on the room category, and it's not like I won't have the opportunity to cancel/change in plenty of time if I don't like the rate.

Yes you should book it now. I just changed resorts to AKL from POR and the CM told me to book AAA and when the AP comes out, more than likely they will be able to apply the code to your current reservation. Otherwise, the room catagory you want may already be booked. Already, the room catagory I wanted at AKL was booked so I chose something a little more pricey (yikes). Now there is no guarantee that it will be available but I have never had a problem switching from AAA to AP. The only problem I have had is if I decide to upgrade resorts when making the switch and the resort does not have availabilty in the room catagory I am looking for. The one problem with this is if no AP code comes out for the room you booked, your stuck with AAA or having to rebook into a different resort/room catagory.

Yes, and the actual date range of the code ended on May 22. We used it and that was the last day, not thru June 6 like this year. They waited until May 7 to release the end of May code/ beginning of June code for whatever reason.

 

[applechips]

waiting with you all too!!

 

[pmdeve]

waiting too

Wow! That is really cutting it close. Doesn't make for happy planners, that's for sure.

I just really want to know what the offer is so I can try to convince my family to switch to on-property. They'll probably say no, but I can't really ask until I can say "Guess what I can get us a room at X for $X and we would get EMH etc..."

 

[GoingtoWDWagain]

Still waiting on the summer months AP rates
Going early July and package is due May 22, come on AP rates

I couldn't wait and booked the AAA rate at the POLY. It is $420 a night(with tax). I am hoping for an AP discount! I asked the CM and he said it should be out very soon and once it comes out I can switch to that discount. I really can't believe they wait so long. I am thinking that we won't see the AP rates till the first week in May. Well, I guess the good news is I have a room and we're staying at the POLY!

I actually broke down and called this morning, since the thread hadn't been updated today. Sorry, everyone, no AP rates for after June 6th yet.

For any newbies among us, in addition to checking this thread and/or calling WDW, keep checking MouseSavers for updates, sometimes Mary will even post a "Keep your eyes open" in advance of a room-rate being released.

agnes!
