More detail on APH Discounts

[meryll83]

Is there a more detailed list somewhere of what discounts you get with the Universal APs? e.g. more specifically which restaurants you get a discount at and how much etc?

Thanks in advance!

They used to give a list on the paper AP holder pouch. But depending on which pass its 10%-15% off everything. There are very few that don't accept it in Citywalk. Also pretty much all carts do not accept it either. So if you want something go into a counter service or gift store to get the discount. The same thing applies at WWOHP with butterbeer. Go into Hogheads instead of the cart. Just show it everywhere you are buying something anywhere in the parks, Citywalk, and resorts.

Cool, thanks for this. So, with a Preferred Pass, roughly speaking its 10% off restaurants and shops? The main places we're planning to eat are The Palm at the Hard Rock Hotel, Mythos and Finnegan's - do you know if these places accept the discount?

I don't think the Palm allows it. But yes the other 2 do. The preferred is 10% and premier is 15%. Also when you get your pass you can log in and see what specials they are running. Each month they offer other BOGO's and discounts from month to month. Normally the deals are better at the slow times. Then they do some giveaways while supplies last if you send a certain amount during your stay. At Xmas time it's special tree ornaments. Mardi Gras time it's limited bead necklace.

Sometimes, if the restaurant is an outside owned restaurant, it can't be used.

You could use it in The Kitchen at the HRH but I think the Palm is an outside chain.

Thanks for all the tips!

We just stayed in June at the HRH and I had the preferred AP. We ate at both The Kitchen and The Palm and both of those restaurants accepted our AP for a 10% discount. In fact, at all the shops in US and Citiwalk (as well as Mythos Restaurant) that we purchased also honored the preferred AP. Pleasantly surprised!!

I want to say off the top of my head I think Bula, Jakes, Beachclub, and Bubba Gumps don't accept it the last time. I'm not positive with Bubba Gumps.

last year Bubba Gump did not take the AP.
i have the preferred AP.


i always eat at Jakes, Bula and use one of my cards for the 10% discount.

maybe i use the AAA at those 2 places???


i know Island Dining room does not honor AAA but will accept the APH for discounts.

Did you ever consider getting TiW?? 20% discount most places. TS, that is. A few places offer a discount on CS, like Pizzafari, i know for sure.

We usually travel during President's Week in Feb. Would they offer AP rates for hotels that week or would they black out those dates?

We were there the weekend and a few weekdays *before* President's weekend this year and I'm 99% sure we had an AP rate.

Thanks. Might be worth doing next year!

This list is pretty old, and I am not sure all the businesses listed are even there any longer. What are the current discounts/perks of buying a seasonal pass? Is there a list somewhere? I've been looking, but in vain.
