redirected here...AP discount. Is there a limit on days booked?

Hello!

I'm planning 22 days in June and staying at the same resort. We don't have our annual passes yet. I wanted to know if there is a limit of days that I can apply an AP room discount for?

Yes, and no. There is usually a maximum 14 nights allowed when booking an AP room, per reservation. I have stayed longer than the 14 nights, and to do that, you have to book two reservations and pay two deposits. For example, if you want to stay three weeks (21 nights) you would book a reservation for 14 nights and a reservation for 7 nights. So far, I haven't had to change rooms when checking in for the second part of the trip, but I always book the same room category for both (say, water view on both instead of garden view on one and water view on the other). You just tell them when you arrive for the first reservation that you have a continuing reservation and give them the info to note in the computer. I think it took all of five minutes to re-check in for the second reservation. I was even able to use the same room keys.

Fingers crossed for you that they offer AP room discounts in June!

Well that was awesome for you! I have already booked 22 days with no AP room (room only) and paid one deposit. I wonder if the pass 14 days and two deposits is just for AP rooms?

Yes, since the discount has restrictions, that required that person to make two separate reservations meaning two deposits. Since you are not using a discount currently, then you only have the one reservation meaning one deposit. If you do decide to go the AP route, then you likely would need to split your reservation requiring a second deposit.

I think there is a set number of days that you can have one room at regular rates for before needing to make a separate reservation, but I think it is something like 30 days. This is seen more at FW where people spend the winter in their RVs. They may have to make a reservation for each month or so.
