Last year at the end of July is when the AP discount was releashed and in 2008 it was in August. The discount ran for stays from a date in October to December 23rd or 24th. They did have some blackout dates, I believe thanksgiving week was one. The week of Christmas to New Years is rarely discounted. Hope this helps.
