WAhoo! I just bought an AP! Can someone tell me...

[Skroops]

Will I recieve AP room discounts right away? I can't wait for the pass to come in the mail with the information...I'm too excited to know how this works! I found out that next month I'll be in MCO for work, so I am planning on hitting the parks by myself (and my new AP ), and then using the pass for our upcoming vacation in October. I am so psyched!

Welcome to the DIS, Skroops!

Yes, you can call and make reservations for rooms at an AP rate if they are avaiable now that you have a pass. You are required to show the pass or the voucher at check in at the resort (although some resorts don't check it).

Basically you have to wait until special AP rates are released for hotel discounts. Sometimes rates are released and sometimes they are not, so it's not an automatic thing that you get just because you have an AP. There are discounts that do automatically come with being an AP holder and those you can find out about on the wdw website under the passholder's section.


I hope this has helped!

The room discounts available now are for February to April. Based on when the discounts were made available last year the discounts for April to July will come out within the next month. The discounts for July on will probably come out in June, and so on, most likely any discounts for October will come out in August..

yes you can just so you know though having an AP does not guarantee you will have a discount-you may still end up paying rack rate.

also, thanks for the welcome! I am so happy! A room discount for our next vacation would be awesome, but we intend to go regardless! I am so excited that I am going to the parks 3 times next month, even if it is only for an evening at a time! (wipe tear). I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll get a discount on our October trip, (looks like until August!) but until then, I'll be doing my happy jig.
Who knows...maybe a room discount will be incentive enough to go again before our October trip!!! My husband thinks I'm a little crazy, I hope that on these boards I'm a little more understood!
