discounts etc

[pickles]

sorry, I didn't think this goes on the disney world discount board(codes and rates), but I didn;t see here where to find answers to these questions?

AP's at WDW can be worth getting simply for the room discounts you can get..is that true at DL?

where are the best room and rates found for DL?

we would need either a 1 bedroom at a DL hotel or a kids suite at a good neighbor

are there any big savings booking the flight tickets with your other package stuff or best to buy apart?

AAA is it worth it to get for discounts for DL?

Thanks in advance

Based upon from what I have read on this website, and what I have found doing my own research, although one can find a good package deal, with enough research, and good timing,typically if the airfare is not included, you can arrive at a better price. Matter of fact, if you base cost on an individual basis, one can receive the best price still.These are the reasons why I have not so far, anyway, have bothered with package deals.
The Entertainment Card Rate is a great price, $59/$74,per night,before hotel tax of 15%, for the Howard Johnson's Hotel, the $74.00 rate is for a Disney view, and a microwave and refrigerator, amongst other differences.
You can view via their Insiders Board, Their current Entertainment Book Card dates for availability
on that site, you can learn of the different types of rooms that they offer as well as other information that may be of interest to you.
Lorealle is one of the managers at the Howard Johnsonns Hotel, and she can be contacted by the Insiders Board, as well as at the hotel, and via email as well.
The Entertainment Book Rate requires the Entertainment Card, not for booking a room, but rather upon checking in, inorder to utilize the rate, this card, comes with a book, it is not necessary to have a book for your area, it can be from any area, however, there are coupons in said book, so you may be interested in receiving a book for your area, so you can utilize them the best, or perhaps they will come in very handy for your travels, in the event that you choose a book for another geographic location.

Just wanted to add, not to call the Howard Johnson's 800 #, for the representatives will not know about that to which you will be speaking of, regarding the Entertainment Book Card discount.
If you do not see your dates, don't worry, for they may very well be available later that day, or by the next week, etc. just call the hotel directly and inquire. You can also book your dates now, and if and when the discounted rate becomes available, you can call again, to have the discount applied, your c/c is not charged at the time to which you book. In the event that you cannot acquire needed dates, then no worries, just have a back up plan already in place, then cancel the previous booking. No charges will be made for doing so.
AP holders receive a 20% discount, otherwise, the Dis boards has a 15% discount that you can ask for.
