florida resident vs. ap discount

[jeast]

I am a florida resident. I heard that if ap members are offered a discount, florida residents generally get the same one. does anyone know if that is true? I was considering buying an ap pass just for the discount.

I have a seasonal fla resident AP- is that what you are talking about? there are special rates for rooms at times and discounts on certain things.

If you mean for the room, yes they do. The AP rates come out first, then the Fl Resident Rates...and they are usually the same rate. I want to say that is the only discount that is the same. AP will get you other discounts on merchandise & food, were as being a FL resident will not. FL residents get discounts on an AP purchase...you can also purchase a Seasonal AP which is only available to FL residents. Hope this helps you some

What I have found is that the discounts on rooms are the same, but the AP codes come out a couple of days before the FL Resident codes. (And that is usually the same code except for the last letter.)

thanks,

I am trying to decide whether or not to upgrade one of our three day tickets to a florida resident annual pass, but if the room discounts (not a big shopper) are the same, I'll probably wait a couple of days for the florida resident discount to come out. After all, I doubt if all of the discounts will be immediately used up for October, right?

To get the latest on the codes, go to www.mousesavers.com. For rooms, there probably is not much of an advantage having an AP vs FL resident, but if you want to be able to go to the parks often, it probably is beneficial. (We personally can't afford the pass, so we just go to WDW 1-2 times/year for day trips.
