discounted rooms with AP?

[Morgstar]

Anybody have any thoughts or experiences with the size of discount we might get on a room in a moderate for jan 9 - 24 next year with an annual pass. I know no one can be certain but i would appriciate your opinions.

Also i know there are many blackout days for AP discount but would i be right in thinking these days would probably be OK? The only issue i can forsee is the marathon.

Many thanks

Check out mousesavers.com; I believe you can look at historical discounts there. Or, at least you can see the current AP discounts, and get an idea from that.

Keep in mind, though, that WDW offers AP discounts on a per resort, per room category basis, and only if they need to boost occupancy in that resort or category. So, if the CBR is selling well, for example, you won't see an AP discount for it. Just because AP discounts are available for a certain period of time, doesn't mean that they'll be available for the resort you want.

MLK federal holiday is January 21th, so that weekend will be busy and you could "possibly" see a blackout during that time. I did notice on the new 2008 rates, that during that timeframe the room rates were higher. This is some of the new 2008 room rate information we are all learning.

Looks like the room rates will be $10 more a night during MLK weekend:
