Next Round of AP discounts

[ancestry]

Any idea or guess when they may release the next round of AP room discounts?

The current offer is for rooms through March 8th. I need rooms for mid-to-late April. I do have a public rate discount booked but am hoping that the AP discounts will be higher so we can upgrade. We would like to switch/upgrade resorts but can't do so until we know what the discount offer will be.

Releasing rates so close to the travel dates is frustrating. Most people who have to travel long distances plan their trips many months in advance. Why can't Disney do the AP rates 5-6 months out? [That was a rhetorical question. ]

Tell me about it! We have airfare but no room yet. Waiting for a discount or staying offsite. It drives me crazy!

Exact same here. We snagged airfare when it was first released so we got a pretty darn good deal on that, especially for during Easter. However, I never book a disney room at rack rate -- if I don't get a discount we will either look at Dolphin/Swan or else stay offsite and hit Universal parks too.

I get married in 6 months and going on my honeymoon in Disney but didn't book because need to know what the AP discount is going to be for July :-/ so frustrating

I'm looking for AP rates for May, Sept, and late Oct/early Nov. I currently have bounceback rates booked for those dates, but am hoping an AP rate beats the bounceback deals. I wish WDW would release AP rates for the whole year every January 1st. It'd make it so much easier for people who go frequently.

Well nothing today (last year the next round was released on Jan. 7th) - but it is the weekend, so I'll keep anxiously awaiting Monday....LOL

I booked a bounceback yesterday for June. While making the reservation the CM asked if I needed tickets. I told her we have APs. I didn't even ask about AP rates, but she said they should be out in a couple of weeks. She also said the 35% off bounceback would probably be better though. I'm hoping she was wrong and AP rates will be discounted 40%.
