Can I do this?

[CoachMinnie]

We are currently booked at POR for a 6 night stay, just DH and myself, with no AP. I would rather buy an AP and stay at WL. My question, can I book the WL room without first purchasing the AP. I know that I have to have it at check in?

You can book the room, but you'll have to call and book with a CM, not online...

Why not just buy the AP now-when you receive the exchange certificate, you can get the discount as a passholder and activate your pass when you arrive at WDW.

Hi CoachMinnie - Yes you can do this! And as ciera321 mentioned, you would have to call to get the AP rate - couldn't do it online as you need the code on the pass or voucher to access the AP website. I am planning on doing this should good AP rates come out for our Sept. /Oct. trip - my concern, however, is that I am hearing you might be able to get even BETTER AP rates through the website. I think what I am going to do (and hope it works) should AP rates come out that beat my current AAA room discount is call and get the AP rate for my room, then purchase the AP online ASAP and when it arrives, check the website to see if I can get an even better AP rate - hey, never hurts to check, right!!?? Good luck and have fun!
