Pretty much! But the AP rate for late spring was a lot better than the general public discount so maybe it will be the same for summer.
). I'm living the madness hunting discounts for our June trip. This morning while stalking for AP discounts I noticed that the Yacht Club was showing a room price $20+ a night less then what we're paying at WL. I moved on......but while my wife and I were out doing errands I mentioned what I saw to my wife. She said............grab that.........that's the best pool on property!
I was a bit surprised, since we love the WL (our original resort for this trip) but I also love that pool...........and it works better for our plans the first 4 days of the trip. So I went home and YES! the discount was still available. So I made my 4th resort change for a discount for this portion of our trip.............that's madness! However, my savings is now up to over $300 and we only have to make incidental changes to our plans..........nothing that impacts a Park, ADR, or FP!
We were only getting a 15% discount at WL.........now we're up to 25%..........and that's before any AP discount (which I know may or may not happen!)
The discounts vary by resort..........interestingly I got 30% on the Yacht Club and 30% on POP............that doesn't sound right..........but that's what my calculator says
. The values usually don't pull that good a discount.......but whatever. The other thing to keep in mind is you're not guaranteed a discount for the room you have/want. I got lucky........both rooms where "standard" rooms and the discounts came up..........but that won't always happen.
My opinion Thank you. I am currently booked at the Poly with a discount through my TA. If I get the AP, I'd also use it to book a visit in May 2018 and potentially December 2017, if I can talk my husband into it.The discounts vary by resort..........interestingly I got 30% on the Yacht Club and 30% on POP............that doesn't sound right..........but that's what my calculator says
One thing, getting the AP for room discounts exclusively, in my mind, isn't the reason to get the AP. We live in NJ and had our AP's since Nov 2016. By the time our AP's run out we'll have visited WDW for 24 days...............that was the driving force for us. We also have the TIW card for the 20% restaurant discount. We love the store discount..........at WDW. The room discount is cool...........but for us.........its the entire package. If you're only visiting for 1 trip, less than 10 days............I don't believe the AP room discount makes it worth it.

I also currently have the dining plan, but if I got the AP, would look into TIW. We tend to do a lot of nice/character meals. I'm trying to see if this makes sense to take the plunge.
My wife and I live in NJ..............we've been very pleased with the AP and what it offers. We paid for the TIW on our first trip in November because we used it with my family (party of 6). It just worked out amazingly well. Now we saved for a year to get the AP.........but we love it! We recommend it highly when you plan on 15+ days at WDWThank you.

Do you know if there is a way to check the discounts if you don't have the AP yet? If it would give us a savings on this trip, it would help my case to get the APs.My wife and I live in NJ..............we've been very pleased with the AP and what it offers.

AP DISCOUNTS HAVE HIT FOR THE SUMMER!!!!!
The stalking is over for our June Trip.............just got the AP discount on the Yacht Club portion took cost below $300/per nite..............the cost on the POP portion went to $106/per night! BooooooYaaaaaaaaaa!
Doug
Absolutely...........
We saved (using the Disney Vacation Account) for over a year to get our AP's. We purchased in July 2016.........activated in Nov 2016 (with extra month ). That allowed us to use the AP's for 3 trips, all 8 day affairs! Looking forward to getting discounts this coming November 
Yay! I'm glad you got the discount and thanks for the head's up that AP discount was now available. I called to check pricing and it was close to $70 more expensive compared to the summer room only discount I have currently so I'm leaving mine as is.AP DISCOUNTS HAVE HIT FOR THE SUMMER!!!!!

That's the thing about these discounts..........they don't always work in every situation. You have to look and evaluate..........as you did.
