*OFFICIAL* AP Watch thread for Jan/Feb UPDATE: THERE OUT 1/1 THRU 2/11

Take your hubby to the DVC while you're there and compare the prices. That's how I persuaded mine....nearly 10 years ago!! If you're ready to buy, they may (used to, I don't know if they still do) give some accommodation credit for this trip.

This trip, we're spending 11 nights. If we'd been paying cash, the accommodations would have cost over $3k for this trip alone.

If you love WDW, you can't go wrong.

Good luck. Have fun.
 

Called Monday, November 17th. Not yet. Not today.

Are they ever coming out?:confused:
 
magsmom - thanks for your persistence! Hope we'll all get to share the benefits of AP rates soon.
 
I just want to thank everyone for keeping up on the AP codes. It really is nice of you to keep calling and letting everyone know what CRO said and if the codes are out or not.
Thanks again.

I also would like to thank you guys for making the daily call. The wait is starting to drive me bonkers!:hyper:
 
when I called about 10 pm last night to extend my days ( again) I asked about AP,,,3 rd time a cm has told me early dec-mid dec. she told me to start checking and check every week after the beginning of the month (Dec) cause they should pop up anytime then. she also said it will be in the m. moniter but I don't have a validated pass yet and I think it only comes after that(??)

thought I'd post this cause, not that you wouldn't want to check before, but maybe it would help some be less anxious if they know they have a little while to wait till they should anticipate them ( now watch them come out tomorrow and I'll look really dumb:eek: )
 
The CM's at the CRO don't know. They do not know until the night before or the morning rates or codes come out.

100 CM's will give you 100 different answers.

AP holders got the mickey monitor in early November. The only offer was for AKL and the date for that was for check-ins up to 12/26.
 
Tuesday November 18th....none this morning! Keep getting the answer..by the first week in December...ya'll have a great day!

I know that could be true but the reason I personally think this could be pretty accurate is one of the people who told me was not a cm at CRO ( or Disney travel or what ever the name is today) but a woman from a problem resolution dept.( can't remember the exact name) she did not know the exact date according to her but did say they should be out mid dec. but start checking in early dec.in her words "just in case". she was very helpful and since she was calling because I had a problem with a cm over this same subject I do not think she would create another problem by giving me false info.. having never used an AP before I personally have no idea when to expect them. however some on these boards seem to think from past releases it would be before this and I don't think the cms would tell you one thing if they really think it will be different . every CM I have personally asked that has given a real time frame ( rather than "soon" or "not yet" or what ever) has said the same thing so I figure they must be going by something especially since many have posted here they came out in Nov before so if the CMs were just going on the past it seems like they would say that rather than Dec.
 
Just wanted to say that I played this waiting game for the end of August and AP rates never came out.

Hopefully this time will be different. But I don't have to worry about it, my travel agent looks for the discounts for me. I already have a AAA rate, so I'm happy with the current rate and if an AP rate comes out, it'll just be extra spending money!

Good Luck everyone!
 
For what it is worth, I had a conversation similar to Jann's with another CRO person on Sunday. She said that they have no idea when to expect the rates until they appear. She also said that sometimes new rates can pop-up in the middle of the day, that they aren't always released first thing in the morning. However, she did say that the rumor is that they will come out after Thanksgiving (this is the 2nd CRO person to tell me that). She stressed that it is a rumor, not anything official from Disney. She said that she hopes the AP rates come out soon because the number of calls asking for them is increasing every day.
 
As long as I have been an ap holder there has been a room discount for Jan/1st half of Feb. We have been pass holders a long time and I remember when they wouldn't be released until Jan for the Jan/Feb time period. I also have AAA rates and am just waiting for the ap rates. hpirate:
 
What are the AAA rates for Jan/Feb right now, anyways? (Value resorts) Is there a place on the net you can look them up? (AAA site?) Also - can you make AAA-rate reservations direct thru Disney, or do you have to do it through your AAA office?

Not sure of the rates..we just call and get them directly from the WDW CRO. No you can make your reservations with WDW directly!

They did release rates for 8/24 to 10/1 in early August. A travel agent on the intercot boards was able to get them for a few of her customers. Then a few minutes later they were pulled back due to a "system problem" and they never did release them again! I'd like to know the true story of what happened there! From the reports of those coming back, it was not crowded in September, so what happened? They ended up releasing them for Christmas but not September? Just proves you cannot count on them.
