Post Your AP Discount Successes/Misses here!

I had made reservations at CBR 10/25 and 10/26 with the CKO code last week, and the CM said be sure to call back on the 28th. I called about 2 pm, got through in about two minutes and Dorcas (CM) was able to save me $22 more without changing the reservation number. Thanks to Mary at mousesavers, and everyone here on the DIS boards!!! Our cost for two nights is $198 with tax.

I had the CKO rate of $85/night for POFQ, but I called for AP rates for WL and AKL.

The courtyard view at WL was $133.50, because it was $150 per night tax included. I snapped that up.

we have been lucky with the new rates. We have a Fort Wilderness Cabin reserved for 10 nights, November 6-16, for 4 adults. We have been able to successfully change our reservation twice in the past week.

Original reservation was using Disney club discount and had a total price of $2226.

On July 22nd, used the CKO discount code (base rate of $139/night) - total price (including $10 for 2 additional adults and tax) - $1654

Today, July 29th, used the CKN discount code (Annual Passholders discount code) for a base rate of $129/night - total prices (Include $10 + tax) - $1543

Changing the existing reservation from using code CKO to using code CKN took less than 5 minutes.

I got 6 nights at the Polynesian Garden View Dec 6-13 for $ 182.00 a night including tax. Always been our dream to stay there. Can't WAIT!!!!!!!

Thanks rmontgo892 I called on Sunday and got the same rate for Dec 6-15. This is going to be my 40th birthday celebration and I can't wait. If you have to turn 40 you may as well celebrate at Disney. Last year we went to the CR Tower Club and although I liked the limited concierge I missed having the kitchen and extra space. It is back to the Cabins for us.

Congrats on the great rate and turning 40 in December!!

My Husband camped here as a kid but it will be the first time for our 6yr old son and myself! We can't wait and the great rate helps even more. ;>)

Have a Magical vacation and Birthday celebration!

CBR is SOLD OUT for Oct. 6-12 (DANG IT!!!). The CM gave me a king-size bed, main pool view at POFQ for $109. That is $20 more per night than I was planning on spending, but what can you do??? I'll call back a couple times between now and then to see if anyone cancels.
Nothing like going to Disney and staying in a resort themed after your own hometown. Argh!

It just amazes me how confused CRO CMs can be. I used the code last week for CBR in November. Yesterday I called to see if I could change to the AP rate. Granted, it was no big deal since I was only going to save around $7/night, but every cent counts! Anyway, the CM was really nice, but totally clueless about the discounts. He went from telling me that the rates were only available thru Sept, to telling me they didn't include CBR, to telling me the AP rate was more than the rate I already had. I finally gave up since it just wasn't worth it. I just wish they would train the CMs there a little better, or at least make it easier for them to find the discounts. It's just not right that the rate you get often depends on the CM you get.

Pugsley,

Call back again. Maybe you'll get a knowlegable, helpful CM and get your AP rate.

Good luck and have a great vacation!!

I got all four rooms in my ressie reduced to $87.69 with tax for POR THanksgiving week, and $133 with tax for WL woodsview. CRO was so helpful. I was honest that my immediate family has AP's but we are all in one room and the others in the three additional rooms were not. SHe made new reservations putting one in DH's name and one in mine to get around the "three rooms per passholder rule. I wasn't even asking for it, but she offered.
I've had great luck lately with CRO. Trip has gone from $1231 to $879.83 for 7 nights POR and 2 nights WL!!
