AP Weekend Rates

[dawgsgirl]

I don't yet have my new AP or voucher, so I cannot look on the AP website. I made a reservation this morning for POFQ for June 3-7, 4 nights. The last 2 nights are weekend nights and I received no discount at all. I was told that not all weekends have AP rates. Can anyone verify this? Has everyone been able to get the AP rate for the weekendz? I have been used to paying more for the weekend, but not the full amount. I know that they have already started this, but thought this time around they had weekend rates. Thanks for any help!!!!!

When I called today they said no weekend rates for AP holders. I would have booked if they did but instead I'll stick with the 4/7 deal.

I have the AP window open right now. I don't see POFQ available but POR is showing $119 for 3 & 4 and $129 for 5 & 6

Thanks, I got the third and fourth for 94.00, 105.75 with tax. The two weekends were 195.00 per night. I guess every resort is different. We can only stay for four nights, so the 7/4 deal won't help us out. It's killing me. Thanks for the help!

I think you need to call back. I was on the ap website earlier crunching numbers and yes weekend are discounted. I was given quotes of $64 for Pop Sun to Thur and $74 for Friday and Saturday. The best deal is OKW and SSR as the weekend rates are lower than the weekday rates. They are more than 50% off. Earlier today I was checking the rates and Pop was not coming up, but it is now. So maybe there were some cliches. I did check moderates and they are also discounted for the weekend. I think they were $105 a night.....Please Call back!!

I checked the AP website for CBR for similar dates:

These rooms offer views of the Resort hotel, courtyard or woodlands.

I wanted to add that only water view is available at POR for these dates and no availability at PO-FQ.

I got Boardwalk standard view for 285 including tax on Friday, May 8.

I called back and was told no weekend rate at POfq. Has to do with availability and if it is tight, they do not offer the AP rates for the weekend. I will probably try calling back tomorrow and see what I can do. I really cannot complain, since I already saved $200.00 on 4 nights of lodging. It would be great to save even more though. Thanks everyone for your help!

I just got $64 on the weeknights and $74 on the weekends for Pop Century. I was amazed to get a discount on the weekends!

 

[Nicole786]

My situation is they just aren't offering the room i need on the weekend even though its physically in inventory!!

I believe that he new AP offer ends on June 6th so there is no discount for the 7th until the next set of AP discounts come out.

Just an update--I called back late last night and got one of those CM's who don't exactly understand English. Since it was after 9:30, I did not hang up and call again as I had been on hold for awhile. She was very nice and just kept saying the rate for the weekend did not come up in the system. She did put me on hold for Guest Services, but I was cut off at 10:00. Whatever. I called back again today. The CM told me three times that the AP rate was never available for the weekend nights. I asked to be transferred to Guest Services, who also just kept repeating that AP rates are not available for weekend nights. I am repeatedly telling these people that some people got them and some didn't. I was not demanding the AP rate or anything, just nicely asking why some would get it and some would not. The Guest Services lady told me if I could get cheaper rates booking online to just do that and they would cancel my current reservation with no penalty. Of course, there would be no penalty for cancelling the darned thing anyway. I also thought that Guest Services could see what was available online, but she said not. I asked about AP availability at Riverside. Again the response was that there was never AP rates available for weekends. At this point, I just hung up. There was never any answer given to me except no AP rates on the weekends. I really just love Disney customer service!

Wow that is sad. You see my post above where I put in your dates and only CBR came up. But indeed there are AP discounts for that weekend, just $10 more than the week days. I would stick with doing it online. Also waiting and trying later does often open up new rooms as folks move their reservations around at the beginning. My first day there was no availability at Pop at all and now there is for Saturday May 9th for $74 a night. It's just shouldn't be this difficult. Good luck.

Thanks for the support and kind words. I just wish they would have told me that some resorts have them and some don't. They would not even check for me. Of course, I will not have my AP until the first part of May. I am going on the 7/4 deal and getting the 10 day non-expiring ticket and upgrading to the AP. So I can't get online to even see what is available. Oh well, whatever. We have discussed just staying in a condo and that might just be what happens. It will be interesting to see if they continue this nonsense of AP rates and weekends!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I just checked again for you and still no POFQ.

POR water view for $119 and $129

CBR standard room for $94 and $104
CBR king or water view for $119 and $129
CBR Pirate Water View for $144 and $154

CSR King for $119 and $129

OK, I went to the AP website. Here's what I found for your dates:

Not sure if any of these quotes help you out. Just thought I could reassure you that there are indeed weekend discounts. However, the choices are very slim and not all resorts available. Please note that POR and CSR both only show king rooms available. I showed OKW (SSR is the same), just in case you want to upgrade for nearly the same amount you might have to pay at FQ. Good luck.

Thanks guys for the info. Right now I am just not real sure what I will do, but the info helps out a bunch. My group is 2 adults and a 13 year old, so we could not do a king room. Did it used to be this much trouble to have an Annual Pass? Thanks again!

 

[SnowWtch]

The only times we can go are weekends. Without a discount on the weekend we'll be staying offsite more. Much cheaper and with a fridge and microwave we can save even more.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

That was really nice of you to do that!

 

[TonyTigger]

Just FYI, the CM that worked with me gladly checked my date which was Friday May 8. There was limited availability but there were rooms that matched the AP Code at PO, Coronado, Boardwalk and Animal Kingdom. I did not have her check value or villas. I was not expecting to find a rate but I was happy when I did.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

I have been fortuntate with my dates as well, so much though that I am on the fence as to where I want to stay beginning of my trip (weekend)....all the deluxes, most catergories, except for WL and AKL, with bunk bed catergories only available...and this is for the weekend before Memorial Day!
