Purchase One AP to get discount?

[SArnhalt]

Would it work to purchase one AP to get discounted rate on resort room and the rest of family get regular park hopper tickets since we won't get there within a year again? Or does the resort require everyone in room to have AP?

Not everyone needs to have an AP in order for you to get a room at AP rates. Only one member of your party will need one.

I believe (but don;t quote me on it!) that the name on the AP and the room reservation must be the same. That tells me that it must be an adult AP since the person reserving the room is supposed to be 18+ YO.

However, I have seen posts around here of people buying their child and AP and getting the discount. Personally, I would get clarification before doing anything. I'd hate for you to get to WDW and not be able to get the discount!

a child's AP 2 years ago and used it for our room which was in my (father) name. No one questioned anything and it saved us a bunch!

I think they are watching a little more closely lately. We had to purchase an AP voucher so they would have the # to attach to our room reservation before we were given the discount. You can get two rooms per AP. This info current as of about 2 weeks ago and as per the specific cm I spoke with

The cm I spoke to said three rooms on one AP. Be careful, I read on these boards that they don't release AP rates until a few months out and very few of them. You should watch these boards for the exact date that AP rates come out concerning your vacation dates and call early that morning. AP rates are not guaranteed.
