Fall AP rates?

[Raenstoirm]

Free dining has been out for a while now. Where are the fall AP rates? Anyone know? I booked our ADRs based on the dates I think we will be there, but the rate really determines how long we stay!

This is our first year as AP holders. I'm wondering about blackout dates for the fall. I know there were room discounts available on bounceback, but the dates I wanted for October were not on there (I'm thinking it was around Columbus Day that was blacked out). I'm wondering if that means that APs will not have discounts for that time period as well.

It's driving me nuts! I really want to go ahead and book a ressie and ADRs but if I can get a discount for one week versus another, I'll go ahead. We'd ideally like to go October 2nd - 8th OR October 13-19th

Fall rates... heck, we're still waiting here for summer rates! We arrive June 26... and still waiting for AP rates to come out. I hate waiting!!!

As for the fall..... we went Thanksgiving last year, and AP rates for then came out in August. I am not sure if that's when Sept/Oct rates also came out, or if they came out a bit earlier than that.

AP summer discounts where are you???

When I made my October ressie, the CM told me that AP discounts could be anywhere from 3-6 months from the stay date. Last year, fall AP discounts didn't come out until August.

Seems like these days the AP discounts are the last ones out...I think that's because Disney wants to see which resorts fill up before offering discounts. Frankly, I think that sucks, but that's just my opinion.

What's freaking me out more than the lack of AP discounts for the summer is how low the % off is, especially for deluxe (and I didn't even see BWI on the list...was it on there?). I'm getting nervous about potential fall discounts!

We were there last year during Columbus Day and used an AP discount.

I agree! When I was there this past Nov/Dec I booked three bounceback deals getting 30% off a moderate for my May, Sept, and Oct/Nov trips. I planned on switching to the AP discounts as soon as they came out, since the percentage off for a moderate is usually 35%. When the AP discounts finally came out for May, I was surprised that they were exactly the same as the bounceback deal I currently have booked. I am really hoping the AP discounts for Sept and Oct/Nov are better, but am not holding out hope that they are.

According to AllEars, historically, the fall AP rates do not come out until late August. Not so good for the planners out there that are waiting. August is a long way off!
