Only Disney knows for certain. Anything else is pure speculation.

Exactly as the previous poster stated. But if you go by last year then no because that part of October was in the "black hole" and nothing was out.

We'll be there those exact dates! Here's hoping for an AP rate for the cash portion of our stay!

I'm there 10/12-10/20.... I am booked at CSR(MYW) now, but if the rates come out for something better, I will bite the bullet and get an annual pass to get the savings on the hotel. Really wanna stay at a deluxe...

But, what kind of savings are we talking here... And is it every night of your stay or is it just certain days of the months that they offer the rates? But then, 'm thinking you can't get the dining plan, right? Darn... Decisions, Decisions...

It depends. Lately it seems as if it has been about 70-75 off the rack rate for deluxes. Could be more, could be less, could be none at all. Its a waiting game.

And is it every night of your stay or is it just certain days of the months that they offer the rates?

They are for certain dates but the dates are consecutive. For example June 20-July 5 or something like that. So if there is availiblity for the nights of your stay you can apply it. There are limited number of rooms avail for the discount and certain resorts. Sometimes all of them, sometimes a select few and so on.

But then, 'm thinking you can't get the dining plan, right? Darn... Decisions, Decisions...

That is correct, you won't be able to get the dining plan but you can purchase DDE which saves you 20% off sit-down restaurants for $60 with the AP.

So, when do they post the rates if they are gonna have them? Is it last minute?

 

[cobbler]

It seems like it is getting more last minute. I think just 2 weeks ago they posted rates for July to the beginning of August. So 1-3 months in advance?? But then again, that could change too.

 

[Jerdoctor]

Okay, thats great to know.... I have my trip booked and if it changes, I will just apply that money towards an AP rate hotel if possible...

What is the website for AP rates again? I just wanna look at it and see what its all about...

 

[cobbler]

For the AP website you have to actually have an AP to log into it.

But you can get some of the information off of mousesavers.com

 

[Jerdoctor]

I've just started reading that site... Wow, is all I can say!

I just saw the breakdown of the AP rate vs the MYW package... That is exactly what I was looking for as far as price savings and what not...

Hopefully thy come out soon if at all..) I really wanna stay at Poly or WL...

Well, we fell into the "BLACK HOLE" last year and never did get an AP rate..... there were a few dates before we were to arrive and them towards the end of Oct/first of Nov that had some, but we never did get a good rate...ended up using AAA
