dumb question re ap vs 7 for 5

[maggie1]

Sorry if this does not make sense - very tired. how do you compare 7 for 5 to ap room only..i have done a couple comparison from mary's site and what i have seen posted here, and it seems the 7 for 5 is cheaper, if you don't already have your aps. Is this just because the ap discounts are less this time?

It depends on where you stay. The AP discounts are not as good for some of the deluxe resorts for 7/4-8/28 where the rooms are more expensive than at AKL. The standard view rooms at AKL are discounted 43% I think. The deal isn't as good for Sav rooms.

I think your figures are probably correct and if you don't already have an AP, the 7/5 deal may be a better deal.

It also depends on how many days you will actually be in the parks. If you will be in the parks for 8 days, then the 7/5 is cheaper. Here's my comparison, because we will only be in the parks for 6 days.

7/5 for 4 adults in 2 rooms: $2852

AP Room only: $1311 for room
$403 for AP
$290 X 3 for 6 day PHP passes from AAA

Total: $2584


It's $268 cheaper to do the AP room only. Now if this were the 4/7 package from last year, this would be a different story. The 5/7 is not really a great deal.

This might help you a bit. I created a spreadsheet in Excel for some comparisions. You can just plug in the numbers and do the comparison there. I have emailed it to over 25 people from this site. If you want I can email it to you! Just Private Message me your email address and I can email it to you. If you run into problems with it...I can always plug in your information for you and then email it to you!

All the Best!
