Please post new AP rate, dates & resort

Okay, all you DIS veterans out there, I need some advise. We have been going at least twice a year for the past couple of years and have plans to continue. Is it worth being an AP holder? Are the discounts worth the extra money up front? For our family of four it looks like it would be about 800.00 more than the five day park hopper we have booked for July. Any advise?

Add us to the list for AKL standard view. Arriving 4/28 for 7 nights with dining, room ended up being about $184 a night on average. It does seem fishy, I'm wondering if they are actually putting all of us over in the savannah area where the construction is because there are no animals there right now?? That would explain why there are so many standard view rooms available with the AP rate. Disney might think that's the best way to fill those useless rooms. They obviously can't put people paying for Savannah over there. I guess we can't complain if we get a savannah view upgrade with no animals since we didn't pay for them in the first place.

We actually don't want standard view anyway, we just took it because that was all they had left. I keep checking back for availability. Our first choice was CR, they had nothing, then we wanted WL, all they had was CYBB for like $294 a night, which I think is absolutely insane for WL. Totally not worth that much. We even checked the Epcot resorts and they were booked too. Couldn't get Poly. I think they did have GF but it was like $480 a night even with the AP, so I'm not shelling out that much!

Man I miss the good ole days. Just a couple of years ago you could easily get WL for 129 a night with an AP and Poly or an Epcot resort for like 199. I guess those days are gone.

Mikidisney-you only need 1 AP for your family to take advantage of the discounts. We are a family of 5;and I have an AP for the perks while the rest of my family gets regular PH tix. Hope this helps!

Wow! I had no idea we could do that. That changes everything! I will get on that right now! Thanks SOOOOO much you have helped more than you know!

Glad to help! The only time everyone needs to have the same tix is on a package stay. Using an AP is a room only stay;but I know you can now add the dining plan to that.

So what happens if we have already booked and an ap rate comes out for that time. Do we have a chance of losing our ressie if we switch from MYW package to room only for the discount? Or can we just switch the same ressie over?

We too had a package booked for the same dates @ the POLY and when the AP rates came out; I had to cancel original reserv. and then rebook and pay 1 nites rate and then will receive the refund of the $200 deposit. Does that make sense? But now I don't have to pay the package off by the end of March; just pay the room balance on checkin. I'll just order everyone's tickets thru the WDW ticketstore. Hope that helps!
