Codes to come in early August

[jennymouse]

Hmmmm, I don't think that is always true...at least recently. The last codes that were released anyone could use and were better than AP rates....my source is Mousesavers, under AP rates. DISNEY CLUB or AAA rates are 10%-20% off rack rate. Whatever they might be, I feel pretty confident that the new code rates will be larger than regular AAA or DC discounts....if not, why would they bother offering them.

WOW! There was a code that anyone could use and it was better than the AP rate??? I must have missed that one. I visit mousesavers quite frequently. The only discounts I saw that were lower than the AP were from postcards or were florida resident rates.

If it's listed under mousesavers as an AP rate then, as I understand it, anyone CAN make the reservation with this code, but you do have to produce an annual pass in the reservation holders name at check in.

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

That's correct. Anyone can book an ap rate, but you must show your ap at check-in.

 

[jennymouse]

No, ladies, what I'm actually referring to is the fact that the last codes to come out (the ones that have expired now) were a better rate than AP rates for this same time. Although I can't quote you those code rates because the information for those expired codes is no longer listed on Mousesavers because....well, I guess because they're expired, this comment is still showing up under the section where is talks about AP rates. I copyed and pasted this for you directly from Mousesavers......

Annual Passholder rates are available for 4/21/02-9/30/02. The discount is 30% off regular rack rates at all Disney resorts (subject to availability). Value Season kicks in on 8/25/02 (7/4/02 for certain Deluxe resorts), so rack rates drop quite a bit -- and the 30% discount still applies. Approximate reported rates (rounded upward to the nearest dollar):

Then there is a list of the various resort AP rates...but then it says....

Call (407) 560-7277 for reservations and ask for Code CFQ and/or the Mickey Monitor Rate. (Note that some current codes give better than a 30% discount, so be sure to try both.) Appeared in the February 2002 Mickey Monitor - thanks to Bob R for posting on RADP and thanks to Becky P for additional info.


Now, I didn't pay that close attention to those "now expired code rates" because they weren't for my time, but I remember reading that they were better than AP rates Mousesavers and also on some posts here. If I remember correctly, the most recent postcard rates were simply the same code (that anyone can use) that was listed on Mousesavers.

I hope you ladies get whatever rates you're hoping for...be it codes or AP.

The fall general public codes that just expired were better than the AP rates. Mods were going for $89 (and $79 for the state codes) while AP was $108.

And for those who are anxiously waiting... hang in there! I know how I felt when I was waiting for the September codes to come out. But just keep in mind, Disney is elusive about the codes cause they dont want everyone to use them. They want as many people to pay rack rate as possible, but they put the codes out there as an added incentive. Disney doesn't have to publish codes, I am just sure glad they do!

 

[jennymouse]

I'm glad they do to Dallas Lady! If codes don't come out for my time it's certainly not going to stop us from going...I've already got ressies. It will make a difference as far as where we'll be staying. If codes are good we'll be at AKL, if not we'll be at CBR. I'm dieing to stay at both, so either is fine with me. But I'd be crazy not to hope for better rates.

With all the talk on the Restaurant Board about the new character breakfast at Epcot, supposedly being bookable on July 28...do you think Disney would release these codes the same day? Those poor CRO CMs if this is the case. They probably won't have time for potty break or nothing.

 

[PatriciaH]

Yes, I noticed on mousesaves.com the last few times codes were released (since 9/11 maybe) they were better rates that the AP rates. Around $10-20 less per night depending on moderate or deluxe. The last postcard I got was less than code rates OR AP. It was $119 + tax for AKL and WL but only went to 10/2 and required a pin. Can't wait till the November codes come out!!!

Who are you referring to? Me?? I really don't appreciate your condescending tone. The only stated what I was told by CRO and what I have seen with my own eyes. I'm not a expert, I'm just here to offer help. So why don't you relax!

 

[helenk]

Keeping my fingers crossed for the rates from 12/14-12/19. I have booked the ASMU with a good DC rate, but hoping to upgrade to a moderate or maybe even the AKL....well I can dream!

 

[jennymouse]

Hey, what's all that all about? I'm mearly explaining myself. No reason to get your panties in a wad......I'm only trying to help too. Geesh, why don't YOU calm down.

 

[grover]

I didn't read anything that sounded condescending in this thread-I think she was just qualifying what she meant! I know I have posted questions and sometimes my post and question or statement is interperted wrongly.

Thanks grover...I was shocked when I read that.

No need for anyone to get upset. Noone was pointing fingers. Just folks sharing information.

It is true this year that the general codes were better deals than the AP rates. Personally, I have been very disappointed with the AP rates this year.

Here's another Dis'er hoping for as generous rates as possible for check-in 12/25.

 

[cindyfan]

I didn't think anything that had been said was "condescending" either.
she was mearly explaining her comment on the codes being better than the AP rates........
Which they were!
I have AP and when we went in June we used a code that was listed in the newspaper because it was cheaper than the AP rate I was quoted!

I too, am waiting for some kind of discounted rate to come out for Oct 8 - 14
Right now I have DC rate which is only 10% off at the ASMu.

I also agree that I don't want them to make publishe the date they come out!!!!!!!!
Then, those of us that watch the boards and call all the time will have a better chance getting the first of the discounts!

Usually AP rates are lower than the other discounts, but this is not the first year that we were able to get a lower rate with another type of discount than the AP. In 1999 we were able to get the BWI for $164/night on the Hot Summer Nights discount (I think that was the name). AP was $169/night for the same time. Not much of a difference, but it was a little lower.

We're hoping for a discount for October also. My DH wants to take me to WDW for our 30th anniversary without the kids (my 2 youngest are 12 & 14) for the first time, so we can do what we want to do. I don't know if I want to go without them.....feeling kind of guilty leaving them. I know they aren't little anymore, but still feel that way since it is Disney and they love it there.

When I called CRO last month the CM told me she suspected the new AP codes to be out in early August. So Id say its pretty much gonna happen soon WOOOHOOOO!!!

As for the anybody rates being better than the AP rates I do personally know a few AP holders that were a bit upset by the higher rates (not upset that they were higher then the anybody rates) and felt that they were losing the incentives to purchase an AP. I do know a few that emailed Disney about it.

Seeing that TigrLvsPooh was told by CRO that the AP rates would be the best (over other rates) when the new codes come out I wonder if attendance beging back up or maybe complaints from AP holders possibly caused them make the AP rates better. Of course this is just me thinking out loud

Whatever the rates are im ready for them. WOOHOOO...I'm going through Disney Planning Withdrawl and I need a hit Guess its back to checking mousavers and the other sites that post codes several times a day
