New AP Rate Policy? How's This Strategy?

[Bill From PA]

I understand that to book a resort at the AP rate in 2006 I'll have to have my AP in hand at the time as opposed to booking now and buying the AP later, correct? If so, can I wait until (if) there's an AP rate released for March 2006, and get the pass and do the booking simutaneously? If not, how fast can I get the pass or voucher needed to book the rate? I have no use for an AP other than as a means of saving enough on 2 Mod. rooms for 9 days to justify the difference between one AP and the 10 day MYW pass I'd use otherwise. That brings me to my final question, can I book 2 rooms on one AP? Thanks for any info offered and if you've got better ideas as to how I can wait to see if the AP deal is better than the AAA rate or a general room-only code without getting shut out, I'm all ears.

Hi Bill,

Interesting questions! I hope that we will still be able to book more than one room with an AP....I am going to purchase one in August, and ten day tix for the rest of the family so I can still get into the passholder website to book. (Definitely adding a winter trip for us now!

I remember reading here that AP room rates would still be available the old way, which would mean you do not need to have possession of the AP to book...but since this is still a new program, anything can change. I wonder what the response to the best rate program has been? I put up a post about this a day or so ago, but did not get much response. Maybe the program is not doing so well yet?

Well see. But we both know, come what may, We'll find a way to get a great deal at WDW.
