Yes, there are discounts. Right now (nights in October), the Annual Passholder rate is $209 per night including taxes for a standard room. Other times of the year rates are even cheaper.
Soccer Princess-- In the past, my family and I have traveled to Disney World in February. Early February is value season (which is when most codes can be found), but in the middle of February on, it becomes peak season, which is the second most expensive next to holiday season. A strategy without a code is to book in value and regardless of whether your trip will go into peak season, you will still be paying value. I have never had an experience with codes in February, so I do not know if they are easy to find, but I would think late Feb. would be harder considering it is peak season. I hope you have good luck, though!
We are staying at the B.C. Nov. 5-10 and thanks to a code anyone could get we are staying in a waterview concierge room
for $330.00 per night tax included and it happens to be during the Soap Opera weekend. You have to make sure to call the day they come out at 7 Am if possible. Good Luck.
We'll be staying at the YC (soon!!) for the first time. We had first booked with a code rate of $179 for a standard view room. Then, when AP rates were released, we switched to that for $169 a night.
Discounts are definately out there. We are staying YC waterview concierge with an AP rate of $320.80/night including tax from Nov. 9th to the 13th. Those rooms go for $460/night during Value Season. As soon as the AP rates come out, you need to call right away. I booked my YC room last Feb. with a AAA rate, changed to regular room with Fla Resident rate and finally to the AP rate. All the phone calls and research really works.
