Can you get AP rate over the phone with CRO?

[cindyfan]

I am just trying to figure out if I should go ahead and get the AP now.
Are there AP rates out for June yet?
And how can I get a quote?
If I can't get AP or BRP for that time, I will just get a 10 day MYW pass.
But how do I get a rate quote without haveing the AP to get on to the site????
They have really made this difficult for AP holders!!!

No, rates are not out for June. BRP is only available 120 days out at the most and currently is not even that far.

You can't get a quote yet.

You can get an Annual Pass now. But, even with an AP, there is no guarantee of a discounted rate using BRP.

It's not really difficult for AP holders because they can log onto the AP site. It's difficult for people who don't have an AP or an AP voucher who are thinking of getting one strictly for a room discount. At least it shouldn't be difficult for an AP holder, but some people can't get logged onto the site which is a shame.

Thanks for the info...

I am not thinking of the AP strictly for the room discount...
We will be back either in the fall or in 2007....
And we usually stay 9 days.... so for 2 - 9 day trips..... MYW tickets.... it is only costing $60 more for the MYW.
However, if we come in Oct, I might sneak in another trip before next June, IF I end up getting the AP.
So.... I guess you can say I will probably only get the AP if we can get a discounted room off of it..... but that will mean Disney will lose out on us making 3 trips instead of 2 if there is no AP discount for June !

BRP is only available 120 days out at the most

So if I am going in June.... It will be February before I can even have someone check?

Probably. Also keep in mind the availability of a discounted room can change quickly. Someone could check for you and the room could very likely be gone by the time you actually get an ap and try to make a reservation. The rate isn't something guaranteed to every passholder. It's first come/first serve based on the rooms they make available or need to sell at that rate.

It is no longer 120 days out; it's 60.

It's no longer than 120 and no shorter than 60.

You can call CRO 7 days a week between 2 and 4PM and they will give you BRP rate quotes as long as they are within the 120 day window. I've always done this even before I had my AP. If you call before 2 or after 4 their computer reservation system will not allow them to view BRP quotes, so make sure you call between those hours.
