Question about AP rates

[hhender102]

Hi, Oh Wise Ones,

When I called and made our reservation a couple of weeks ago, the CM asked if we needed tickets, and I said no, we were going to do the APs. He said that rates weren't in yet, but to check back soon because the AP rates would be available for the year (2005) soon. I was so excited about making the ressie that I didn't clarify his comment. Plus, I was worried that I would forget my requests, etc. if I went off on a tangent about something else

Anyway, I know that AP rates are released at different times of the year for upcoming periods. Do they also block them out ahead of time? For instance, in a couple of months will I be able to call back and see if they have the 2005 AP rates out?

His comment threw me off a little -- b/c I am so used to looking for the whole code thing, but he made it sound as though it was also "preplanned" and in the system -- at least to a certain extent. I know this may just be wishful thinking on my part, and I also know there are a lot of new CMs working the phones...Was this comment all a mistake or understanding?

I probably already know the answer, but thought I would check.

Thanks ~ Heather

Someone else may no better but if those rates are planned out that far in advance (2005) then one would think that they'd release them on a better schedule than they do.

I think he probably just made a sloppy comment. CMs are always the most informed people.

When we went in Oct. last year, APs weren't realeased until a week or 2 before our trip. I already had a great rate at the Swan & didn't change. BTW, the Swan was wonderful.
