Question about resorts and Annual Passholders

[Disfamguy]

So my daughter bought an annual pass and while she goes to Disney a couple times each year she seems to have some confusion about what is available to her regarding the resorts. I think her biggest question is that she doesn't know what or of she gets any discounts when booking her resort as an annual pass holder. When they did the upgrade the lady wasn't real helpful and said she would have to call the number on her card to get the info. She did but but it took a while and she hasn't gotten through yet. So I thought I would ask here.
Thanks

WDW releases resort discounts for passholders a few times a year. Depending on the resort and the time of year, the discounts can range from 10-35% off. Mousesavers has a list of historical discounts offered over the last several years (passholder as well as general public, FL resident, DVC, Disney Visa, etc.).

If your daughter has an MDE account, her AP should be linked (and, if not, she should link it) and she will be able to view the current discounts online by going to the Special Offers page on the WDW site.

Sometimes there are AP deals and sometimes there aren't, also not all resort room types have AP deals. If she goes on the special offers page signed in to MDE (and has her AP linked) she should be able to see any AP offers.

What @beesly said.

One thing I'd add is the AP discounts are a lot like general public discounts in that the supply/inventory of rooms that may have an available discount is limited. It's not a given an AP rate will be available, even if a room is available.

Happy planning!

Have her check out this for general discount information: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/passholder-program/passholder-benefits-and-discounts/

She will need to be logged in if she wants to see the AP discount rate. The AP room rates tend to save me an additional $200-300 over whatever other room discount rates they are offering. My early June AP rate is about $300 less than the regular Spring Discount rate.

Hey thanks everyone for the info. I will pass it on to her.
