May/June Codes watch....

[cdnmickeylover]

Just got back but am now looking for codes to go back yet again. We have AP's and they are already calling. We stayed at Pop this last trip and found that it was great so have no problem staying value if the price is right!

You mean your DH would actually HELP you pack everything up? Count your blessings!!!

Sure he would but he would be packing me in the suitcase along with all of our stuff. No way would he pack up to move to another hotel.

Hi, I'm not an ap but I was woundering if you could get the ap discount at the same time as signing up for the AP. I would us the general public discount codes if they come out but it sounds like the Ap's get first pick,if so I will sign up to get the great discount. I think it's worth it. thanks

You do not need to purchase the AP to reserve a room with an AP code.

You do need to have the Annual Pass or at least the Annual Pass voucher to check into the hotel. The front desk will usually require that you show at least the voucher or maybe the activated annual pass at check-in.

If you do not produce the voucher or annual pass, you will be charged rack rate for the room.

To add to this....last year, I booked at the AAA rate at Pop Century. I was able to lock in $85 per night in late May....(basically 15% off the regular $99 rack rate).

I WAS NOT a member of AAA when I called for the reservation. I was planning on signing up with AAA for the $50 membership fee if no other codes were released.

Well....Disney Visa released a code for $69 per night at the Value Resorts. I was able to switch my reservation to that code....so, I no longer needed to join AAA.

The AP rate for a value resort was also released at $59 per night. It would have cost me $150 more to upgrade to an annual pass. The savings would have been $10 per night over 7 nights ($69 Disney Visa Rate vs $59 Annual Pass Rate)....$70.

It was definitely not worth paying $150 to save $70....(duh!)....so, we stayed with the $69 room rate.

So....you do not need to have an AP or a AAA membership when you make the reservation....but, you are required to show your AP, voucher, or AAA membership card upon check-in to keep your low rate.

what a mental image!!!

kutchyone,

They do have coffee pots and fridges at AKL and WL now. All deluxe and moderate resorts are to have these in the rooms, free of charge.

 

[pamlet]

I called and book our 12 days!! He said the codes will not be out till March. Thats what I remember from last year. I remember it being real close to Easter.

Last year it was early March. We were going to go last year - and I did some research and found that it was early March that the codes came out.

We ended up not going... I've planned... even started paying on trips at least 5 times now and EVERY time something has happened...

SO - this year we have a week off site at my SIL timeshare... so it's looking pretty positive - tho' I must say if codes come out... AND we have the money there's a SLIM chance I'll finally get to stay onsite.. laugh...

Here's waiting for March!

Depends on your Dining and if you will be back again within a year. With 10% off at most places, you could easily save that extra $80 in food alone.

This year AP holders are also entitled to join DDE which saves you 20% at all meals at most sit down places and the food courts at the value resorts. Yes it costs $50/year to join using the AP discount but we saved that and more on this past trip. AP's are a good value if you plan to go more than once a year.

It is soooo good to hear all the positive responses about Value hotels.... I was actually kinda scared..... I am surpriseing DD10 with a trip 3/21-3/24 I decided this kinda last minute.... We just got back in December and wanted to be able to use my AP at least one more time before they expire in this December. Since it was last minute I was lucky enough to snag 3 nights at All Star Sports. We have stayed at POR twice CBR once and AKL twice so this will be a whole new experience for us.... Considering we are hardly ever in the room I figured why spend extra if I didn't have to.
I am still on the look out for May rates though cause who knows a weekend trip just might happen.

stil waiting. . . . .

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Spring fever is getting to me and so I thought I would drop by and hang out here until the codes come out. Letting the fates decide if we are adding a spring trip to our already planned November one. If the codes are good to go so are we!

[TigrLvsPooh]

Hey Slightly Goofy (fellow Hoosier!!!) Hasn't the weather just been fantastic this winter... NOT! Spring Fever is hitting me hard as well.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

TigrLvsPooh, yes the weather is wonderful, right now. However, knowing Indiana weather as I do, I am sure that Mother Nature is storing up at least one last big shot at us before Spring finally springs. LOL

We got a bit over two feet in the December storm. (still digging my way out from that one) grin

BTW, I live about 45 minutes south of Indianapolis. Where might you hail from?

[TigrLvsPooh]

I think this has been the worst winter I've seen in years. We are about an hour north of Indy and have already suffered two ice storms and several "snow days". These warmer temps haven't really seemed that nice yet because of all the rain and melting snow mess. Our yard is a big sloppy mud hole.

I'm ready for WDW!!!!!!

 

[cdpa4d]

I agree Tigr! Being somewhat close to you in Fishers...we have seen so much precipitation this year than any other I can remember. The rivers are rising and the snow and ice are depressing. C'mon codes! I need one for our late April trip!

[TigrLvsPooh]

I know it! I joke with the kids all the time about building an Ark! They know I'm kidding but sometimes I almost feel like we'll need to! Luckily we don't live close to the river, but friends of ours that do had to leave their homes. I just don't see how it can rain and snow this much. It's crazy!!!!! I dare one person to mention "drought" this summer. If they do I'll scream!!!!!

 

[dreams4disney]

Just wanted to pop in and say hello! We are just south of Indy in Greenwood!

 

[lisareniff]

Just wanted to send along my little bit of non-information...

My husband received a postcard last night. It was really just an ad for the MYW package but I was hoping... So I called... No AP. Nothing. She did pull up my info in the beginning, so I assume if there was any discount attached to my name it would have shown up, right?? Also, the postcard was in my husband's name, not mine (different last names) would this have made a difference??

I really want to stay at the poly. But not at rack rates!!
