We're looking at a Dec 1-7 stay at the GCH. We don't have AP's, we book through AAA. But if there is an AP7 rate anytime around our stay we're thinking of switching.
The AP7 rates are for annual passholders and the rates were publicized in July. Most of the weekends from the end of November to mid December are at the regular rack rate or near it. I know our weekend in December was at $266 a night at PP and for Wed. and Thurs. night it was $149.
I just added a night (to our existing AP7 ressie) at the GCH a few days ago with the AP7 rate for the first week of December and they still had it available. The rate was $249.
If you call and they don't have it, keep calling--someone might cancel.
