I called this morning to apply the AP rate to my existing ressie at the WL for 1/24 - 1/31. The CM, who was very nice, said that there wasn't anything available. I asked about a different room view and she said there wasn't anything available and asked if I would like a different resort. I decided to leave my existing ressie as is. Because of all the tips I read on here about calling back, I did. I got a great CM who said there wasn't anything available, but she would click on Discovery and look at other views. She had a Woods view available for $139 (tax included) a night. I went from $188 a night (AAA rate tax included) for a Standard room to $139 (tax included) for a Woods view room!
Thank you to everyone for your great advise. This is our first family trip to Disney! It definitely paid off to call back because I thought the first CM checked the other views, but she didn't.
The second CM said that it used to be a guarantee that if you had an existing ressie you could apply the AP rate, but now marketing has limited the number of rooms available.
Thank you everyone!!!
