APH Rates Are Currently Available... [UPDATED 07/27/18]

[peel]

I'm impatiently waiting for January APH rates. I'm currently booked at RPR 1/22-1/25, but I'm secretly hoping for a great PBH rate. I've only ever been to RPR, and the PBH property looks so beautiful. I'm booking this trip for my mom and I, and she's never stayed on Universal property before. We always stay at WDW moderates. RPR will be enough of a step up, but I think I would get some serious bonus points for taking her to PBH.

Portofino was amazing. The only downside is no personal fridge in the room. I ended up finding a great AP rate for October so hopefully the January ones will be out soon!

Two months out & still no January 2017 APH rates?

Is there usually AP rates for first of June? We are planning on going June 1-5th at Universal and 5th-11th at Disney..I am thinking it may be cheaper to purchase one AP and get a discount on hotel..

For the times I've checked past years, yes.

Thank you, I called and she told me to call back the middle of April to see about discounts for the first of June..I would have to make a room only reservation..up to 30% so it would be worth it..

Hard to say what the discount might be as the rack rates are awfully high last 6 months into future. Anytime I can book RP for under $200 all in I consider it 'a deal'.

Memorial Day weekend has had some great deals past years, as has first week in June. Rates seem to rise by Father's Day weekend and stay summer high.

There is a yearly date & rate thread, not out yet for 2017. Look back to 2016 for an idea what others have paid. Suggest subscribing or checking it out at least weekly. The # of rooms available under the APH promotion are limited.

Thank you! I checked at 10am today and they hadn't been released! I called and knocked $25/night off my reservation. I was hoping RPR would drop below $200/night, but it stopped at $204. Maybe there will be additional discounts if the hotel doesn't fill up, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

How far into February did the rates extend? I'll update the first post.

Just thought I'd mention we just went in Aug and stayed Sun-Wed and had $169 APH rate at RPR. Hope you get a great rate too!!

You are welcome your rate for your last day may be slightly more bc it's a weekend night. I have heard that sometimes with longer stays the Stay More Save More rate can work out to be better. So check that out too. They usually come out before the APH rate.

Would love 169. Rates in early to mid Feb for RPR seem high. Over 240/night on a Sat either of the first two weeks of Feb - only thing I could snag was a Sun/Mon at lower rates. Really wanted to book 3 days, but both Sat and Tues are HIGH. I guess there are conventions in town the first two weeks. Or some event/group.

That's probably because it's Mardi Gras in Universal from Feb 4- March 24

If I purchased off of orbitz would I still get full benefits of hotel? even inside a hour early?
