How does it work booking rooms etc if you have an AP?

[TheTizardFamily:0)]

Me again....

As i said in a previous post we have decided to have a trip this December. So that means we'll be going twice in 11 months. Would it work out better value to but AP's for the 4 of us during this trip? How do the prices on rooms compare when booking without park tickets?

Also, where can i find prices of AP's etc?

Many thanks guys

as a general rule, don't even consider buying all 4 APs if you think you'll get a decent discount on room only onsite with Disney, compared to a package with hotel/park tickets. The room prices for AP holders are based on full rate (ie no discount at all) and then you might get 10% up to maybe if you're lucky 35% off that full rate. But heres the kick - the full price for the room only without tickets could be just about the same as the package price for you all anyway .
You also have to call Disney to get AP room only prices, they are not available online.

APs give you great flexibility but only if you're not necessarily fussed about staying onsite.

Thanks for that. I think i've decided against it. Looking at the options of passes we would have to get most expensive ones to be able to use them during our trip this year, so that would be nearly 800 euros, we have a quote for a full package including flights for less than that.

Thanks for taking the time to reply though

Whoa! These two statements are not correct. I've never gotten an AP rate that was less than 30% off (in seven years as a passholder, booking deluxe and moderate). And you CAN book online, just look under "Passholder Offers" on the WDW Passholder website, and you can search and book AP discounted rooms.

that may be entirely correct for WDW - but unfortunately not for Disneyland Paris, which is where the OP is considering buying annual passes for.
