Could someone please give me central reservations operating hours?

 

[WhispyPixie]

guys..on phone with them now......do not ask for AP rates, simply select the resort you wish to stay our....ask them to check AAA rates and seek a rate with BCE as the code......some types of room will come up....some will not....encounters situations where conceirge was avalible and then reg room not and vice versa at the diffreent rates! Do not give up!! hope this helps and i am crossing all my fingers and toes!

Did you check the rates for when we're going (mardi gras)? From what I've been told, rates for those dates won't come out this time around.

Here's hoping,
Robin

well the latest I got( just could not resist one more time) is it now says under" BCE".... pending do not book or discuss.... so guess whoever got them got them and tough for the rest of us but hopefully they will be coming out!

Believe it or not I just got WL-courtyard view Jan 10th -14th for $624. My husband is running in the marathon and this will be our first time at WL. Good luck to all you others!!

PS! I didn't use a code or anything. Just told them I had an AP.

Just read a thread on the Budget board that values are being offered for $55 with a code. The poster hasn't stated where the code is from but you might want to go over and take a look.

Here is my two cents on the whole matter of AP. It is extremely frustrating how Disney works. I mean, why even bother buying annual passes anymore, when postcards were randomly sent to people for the same, if not better prices as AP rates ( that may or may not ever be released). I agree with who ever said ( I can't remember who) that we spend 4 weeks a year there and a whole lot of money, we deserve to be treated with a little bit of loyalty. I always tell my DH that I am quitting my Disney obsession, and I'm never going back. That lasts for about a minute . "Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in..."

rngclick -

I did give them the late February dates when asking about the AP rates. I do know there's been some discussion here that the rates would only extend through the end of value season. I'm hoping we'll get lucky & have them for Mardi Gras.

 

[Steamboat Girlie]

alsmom,
what rate did you get for WL courtyard view?

 

[EdDome]

Just hung up after calling. The CM (a nice CM) told me that the BCE code hasn't been released yet so she couldn't book it. Expects it to be released next week. Good news is that at least it appears that there will be AP discounts.

 

[MosMom]

From the dates given, it looks like the same rate I got at $156 including tax. Which is so odd because my friend who called was told there was nothing left at WL. This is TOTALLY whacky!

 

[Planecrazy4dis]

is it better to call 407-w-disney, or the 800 #'s?

 

[alsmom]

The total for my Courtyard view at WL was $624 for 4 nights - which is $156/ night. That is pretty good isn't it? I'm kinda new at all of this stuff.

 

[Planecrazy4dis]

alsmom,
in the words of Tony the Tiger, it's grrrrrrrrreat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jann1033 -
Been reading through these posts - didn't see if you ever got your question answered about adding/dropping days on res.
Last Jan. I called & got a code (not AP) for March. After about a week, I needed to change the beginning/ending day, called and had no problem, same res. #. Then a couple weeks later, needed to change the whole week to the following week, and CRO told me no problem, as long as the dates changed to are within the original code dates - for instance, if code for 3-01 to 4-26, could not change to 5-01 begin date. Again, I kept the same res. #.

Maybe you already found out, but thought I would try to answer anyway!

The AP is for unlimited admission to the parks. The information states that AP rates for resorts MAY be offered. It isn't a given that there will be special rates for AP holders.

It seems there are a lot of people that feel that AP holders are entitled to special rates. That is not what WDW is thinking.

Disney needs a loyalty program and the AP is not it.

I just got off the phone - first prompt was to press "1" for English. Then I didn't respond to the second prompt because my connection got noisy. It came back just in time to hear ". . . or stay on the line for the next Disney operator."

Within about ten seconds, a CM picked up the phone and we went on our way. (No passholder rates available, but I did get a nice Auto Club special rate - 15% off - at the Contemporary Tower. )

Will this tip always work? I don't know. But so far I'm one-for-one, and it didn't cost me 20-30 minutes on hold. I'll try back in a couple days to see if the passholder rates are available.

That would be fantastic ----- If they'd just get that computer system settled.

Aren't you in P'ville too? DD is at DHS.
