I wouldn't count on an AP discount necessarily, but I have stayed on property with a discount checking in just a couple days after Easter, or ending a couple days before - just not an AP discount. Keep your eyes open and check the dates on every offer released, and be prepared to book IMMEDIATELY when you see the dates you want. The discount I got checking in the Tuesday after Easter was no longer available after a couple days, so you don't have time to think. You have to know what you want and be prepared to book when you see it.
