Does anyone know if they will have AP rates for later in August...and does anyone have a clue as to when they would be released. Not interested in free dining...rather have a discounted room. Actually was hoping to avoid the free dining frenzy...when does that kick in?...We were thinking of visiting the second or third week of August.

Mary is playing games with us. Mousesavers has been changed twice today and both times I logged on and saw something different at the top and my heart skipped a beat I know the discounts are normally released on Wednesdays, but I was hoping!

Free dining begins August 16th, so you should probably try to get the 2nd week instead of the third week in August if possible.

Last year...the Annual Passholder rate for 5/26 thru 8/2 was released on 5/7/08. The AP rate for 8/3 thru 9/27 was released on 6/18.

How was your trip?

How was your trip?

We had a good time. Thanks for asking! We had a lot of firsts - we stayed at CBR for the 1st time and also did the Quick Service Dining Plan for the 1st time. We were there for my birthday and opted for the $75.00 gift card. I'm ready to go back! For Memorial Day we are staying at POP Century and in June we are going to the Epcot Pin Event and staying at the Beach Club. That is the one I NEED an AP rate for!

Love this - glad you had a good time!

Glad you had a good time. How did you like CBR? That's our favorite moderate resort. I definitely want an AP rate for summer of 2010....loooooooong time to wait for those to be released, but anxious to see what type of discounts and dates people are able to secure for this summer. Looking to stay at Beach Club or Poly next summer.

So, how many people really think the AP rate will be released this Weds????? Or.....do you think we will have to wait another week? My trip is 5 weeks away and this is the last thing I need to wrap up - 2 rooms, 2 nights - need them soon!

 

[hmillerbarilla]

I hope it is wednesday. I've been waiting to book flights to make sure the difference in $$ is worth it. I'm thinking it is cheaper for me to fly in sat night and pay for a room with AP rate or is it the "same" as flying in on sunday when the flights are more $$. I'm hoping for the extra night!

Today is it for me. Our vacation money is due today. So I guess we will roll with the buy 4 get 3 free for our 10 days in June. I was hoping for the AP rates but at least I will have the 6 months 0% interest for buying a package and paying with the Visa. I will upgrade our tickets once we get to the park and make them annual passes. Always happy to be going to Disney just would love for it to cost a little less!

 

[Gr8dan2]

So I just called to pay my package (AP/Dine) and of course asked if the pin codes had come out yet for late June--- so this CM tells me that no, not out and not expecting any for June/July at all--- said she's only expecting August 16th and later. What the heck? (and yes, i know they aren't guaranteed, but really, we've gotten APs for the last 8 years and the last year or so has been really the worst as far as benefits of APs! at least compared to other offers it has been!

Thanks, appreciate your reply. Anyone thinking of going to Poly for August ..they have some good rates through Tikiman site? Was looking into that vs. an AP rate.

 

[KimDis]

I did the Tikiman rate and it was almost as good as the 4/3 deal. Almost 40% off.

The WDTC/CRO CMs don't necessarily know more than "we" do, some of them apparently are sub-contractors who aren't in Florida and work out of their homes. They don't have a better pipeline to what's coming out than DIS'ers or folks who keep an eye out for news on MouseSavers. In the past I've called in a time or two, knowing that a new rate is out and the CM right away has tried to tell me that nothing's available. I ask them to please check, saying a friend got a great rate or whatever. Lo and behold, I'm right. WDW is just as full of rumours for CMs as it is for Guests.

I'm with you. We'll keep our APs and we'll still be going in June, but golly-gee, some better room-rates would be nice!

agnes!

What is the "Tikiman" rate ? Inquiring minds want to know ...

You said it!!! And yes, some are not even within FL.

I was a CM at CRO a few years back and when discounts are released (such as AP) we never knew until that day. Upper mgmt kept it quiet until it was advertised.
