Post Your AP Discount Successes/Misses here!

[*Flower*]

We were on hold for over an hour.....

We'd have changed our travel plans if the discount was significant, but 12/19 was already sold out for our location. We like to do Christmas/New Year's week- and were going to book from 12/19 - 01/02.

No luck, but it would have been a $10.00 per night savings.

It's hard enough to get away from work for a week, to consider 2 weeks is almost beyond us.

It was fun though- we gave a relative's name and address (who never goes to Disney) to get the information we wanted without having our (many) reservations showing up on her computer. She'd have thought we were SERIOUSLY nutz.

Good luck to all!!

Got POFQ for $89 a night + tax (king bed room) 11/3-11/10. Standard was $79 a night!!! AKL is $109 + tax standard!!! Keep pushing, my CRO agent had no idea they (AP rates) were out today and then told me they were the same as the CKO rate. AP was $10 less per night. I saved $88 but I am now tempted to do AKL CSR is not offered for AP

Arriving 10/27, check out 11/1. 4 adults, 1 child, 1 infant. Including taxes and charges per extra adult....$176 and change. Total for 5 nights...$882!!!!!!

BTW, was on hold less than 2 minutes. Our CM, Erin, was very polite, had no problem cancelling previous res for ASMu, changing to FW, and then checking AP rate to see if it saved over the CKO rate. On and off the phone in about 5 minutes!

Just hung up after a short (less than 5 minute) wait. I told the CM, Lacey, that I wanted to change existing reservations up front. She was very polite, and was able to add the AP rate to my existing reservations with no problem -- unlike last week, when I tried to have the CKO code applied, and had to cancel and rebook!

Anyway, we got POFQ for 10/5-10/12 for $99 per night, and CBR for 10/14-15 for $99/night.

All of my lurking on this board has definately paid off! Thanks to all for your great tips!

I called CRO and WDTC (twice) and was unable to get the AP rate for WL for 11/23-11/30. Oh well...

 

[AuntBJ]

Just booked 2 Wilderness Cabins for 12/7-14 for $151.00/night w/tax. Only held 3 minutes. CM was very knowledgeable and helpful.

I just booked Savannah view for $149 plus tax=$165.39 per nite over Thanksgiving with the new AP rate. I hope I can get meal reservations.

I just changed my WL CKO standard room to a AKL CKN AP rate standard special needs room, $109 or $120.99. There were no standard rooms available at the AP rate at WL for our time frame. I did get a new reservation number directly from the special needs dept, so we are getting a king bed, hand rails in the tub for $109. Thats a good rate.

I have saved $439 between two trips. We are going in Oct. & staying at the Caribbean for eight night. When I first made the reservations we were paying $1163 - now with the AP it is $790. In December we are staying at All Star Music for 9 nights with 2 grandchildren. Original price was $621 with the DC discount - then changed to the new posted DC code last week & got $555. Today I was told only the 'preferred' locations were available & it would be $605 with the AP. I stayed with the DC code & am getting the mini golf included!!! I was only on hold for about 5 minutes (called at 10:00 Minnesota time) - Cleveland was very friendly & helpfull!!!!

On hold for about 5 minutes on DC line. Helpful and efficient CM...I think Velda??...$321 tax included for LV Poly concierge in October !

 

[grumpyandbashful]

We have 2 woods view rooms reserved at WL from Dec. 19-27, now at about $133/night from Dec. 19-27. Lowers our total bill by about $160! Still considering calling back and changing to a single standard room at the YC - if we fit us and our 3 big kids in one room without going crazy .
Spoke with Belle Marie, who was very helpful!

 

[MauraAndIainsDad]

For Oct 9-12 (Regular season), we got a rate of $155 (w/o tax) for WL Courtyard and for Oct 12-14, we got a rate of $169 (w/o tax) for AKL Savannah view. Also, I enquired about Poly Garden view and was quoted a rate of $184 (w/o tax); GF Garden view was unavailable.

Called around 10:30, as they were doing the automated I'm putting you on hold thing the cm picked up. We got POR for 730 for Dec 14-21. Saved another $47 off the other code from last week. We are 3 adults and 1 child. I told her that one of the adults is my dependant daughter but she says they don't discriminate so anyone over 18 is an adult. Our base rate was $79+$15 adult + taxes. Waterview would have been 808. We're happy.

Nov 8-10

2 rooms/2 nights= $220 including tax at All Star Sports

Tried for 1 room at a deluxe- they had nothing!

I think we will be more comfortable in the 2 rooms,anyway.

It will be DH, myself, DS (4), niece(13 and nephew(15).
She guaranteed me 2 connecting rooms because we have more kids than adults.

 

[buddy&wooz]

Waited till about 11:30 to call via DC line, no wait on hold at all.

Got POFQ King for $98.79 inc tax, saved about $45 total (4 nights) over the other code rate (which was for a king at POR, no kings at POFQ were available with the other code), $400 over rack!

Time to start up a new countdown clock, 100 days for me!

I called yesterday and was told the AP rates didn't go beyone 9/30 yet. Thanks Dan for heading me in this direction! I just called and got $67.20/night at ASMu for Dec. 2-8 - and that's the "closer to food and transportation" price. I could have gotten the "farther away" for $54.85/night. WOWOWOWOWOWOW

Now to make my airline ressies - DISCON II here I come!

 

[MikeD]

$189 + tax for GF on 11/26-12/2 (had DC at $199 + tax). Used savings toward MVMCP tix.

 

[eeyorepatty]

All Star Sports
October 5-14
$71.68 a night with tax!!!
I booked 4 rooms so the savings is really worth it!

 

[KathyR]

Saved an additional $11 for Oct. 26 We are staying one night at AKL in a Savannah View room before heading to BWV for the rest of the week. Our old rate was $198.69 incl. tax and our new rate is $187.59 incl. tax! Pretty good deal
