Not ready to make a reservation for this fall, but feeling out my options. I would love to do AoA, but if dicounts are announced and don't include AoA, I will probably need to change. Was Pop available for disounts when it first opened?

We stayed at POP in April 2004, when it was 5 months old. I don't recall any special discounts just because it was a new resort. I believe Disney was running some kind of special at that time, available to everyone...not just POP guests.
 
DW and I went Oct'04 for our first trip. The AAA travel agent "recommended" it. She said it was brand new,etc and was a great choice to stay at. At this point we had no idea about anything WDW or travel. Was it the same price as the All-Stars- I don't know. But why would the TA recommend it at that point? Maybe it wasn't selling as Disney wanted it too?:confused3
 

I remember AP rates for $49 per night in the early days. I think the rack rate started at $69.
 
We stayed in Jan of '04, and I remember paying $49, same discount as the other value resorts were.
 
I was an original guest when POP officially opened and paid $49.00 a nite :thumbsup2
 
Disney offers usually exclude suites and 3 bedrooms. However, Asmu family suites have always been allowed with the discount. They could use that to exclude AoA or not.
 
Yes it has been out for a while for dates from Aug 19 to Sept 29, 2012

The only discounts I can find go through March of next year. Where are you seeing anything for fall?

Nevermind, I just re-read and I see you're in Canada. You all must get discounts offered way in advance of the States. Interesting.
 
As with all discounts, they're used to fill vacant rooms.

I would imagine that, yes, discounts will be available at Art of Animation - but only if the resort isn't selling well. Being new - I would imagine that if there's a discount inventory - it will be pretty small.
