Waiting patiently

We are currently booked offsite for Easter week. Pretty sure that is where we will end up, but I keep hoping for an AP discount....even with rental car + offsite hotel we are beating Disney values by $30 a day, Easter week prices are crazy non-discounted!

I know....and there are still SO many empty rooms. Last year disney just left them empty (thus we were upgraded at both of our resorts!). It will be interesting to see if they do the same this year or if they open up some deals. Hoping for AP....

I'm there with you.

Air travel booked.
Stroller purchased.
Orlando family notified.
Room? Yet to be determined.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get our family into the Animal Kingdom Lodge this trip. It will be our first encounter with a Deluxe. I want it to be even cheaper than the Spring Room Only discount, though.

C'mon Disney! I want the opportunity to hand over my paycheck!

With the AP pass price increase, a discount at a peak time really is the only way I will consider getting another AP. Now I understand it is a bonus and not somethine to count on, however I will need to purchase 4 when this pass runs out and at that price I could pay for an entire trip at a value.

I get the pass to come more often. With this pass we will have gotten three trips out of it, (we purchased before the last increase). The last trip we stayed at the Grand Floridian with a AP discount. It was way more than we usually spend, (one night was rack rate!!!!), but we felt like we were saving money with the discount.

Yes my family will still come to Disney without a discount. But I am willing to spend a lot more money AT Disney with a discount.

TigrLvsPooh · 01-28-2013, 10:42 AM

I need AP discounts ASAP!!!!

I need April and June!!! Come on Disney!!!!!

keishashadow · 01-28-2013, 08:37 PM

Booked via current promo but waiting for early June AP rates. It's been awhile since i bought an AP. Need to activate it next trip.

Notice the mousesavers chart indicates that last year the rates for 3/9 to 6/14 were 1st released on 1/9 (exp 2/8) and again on 2/9 (exp 6/14).

Other than trying to challenge the market

, wonder why they're so slow to roll AP rates out this year?

TaraPA · 02-01-2013, 06:59 AM

Its out thru June 2nd but not anything better than the spring discount for the resorts/dates I need!!! ARGH!

The discounts for my resort and my room type were already gone when I called this morning and they told me my only chance for a discount is if someone cancelled.

When was this announced? The cast member I spoke with said it was released over a week ago and the discounts got snatched up. I've been checking every few days (I thought - this week has been crazy so maybe I missed something). Plus, I know I am new to the whole AP thing, but I didn't know there were only a certain amount, I thought as long as you were an AP holder you were in the special club. Bummer.

No Spring rates available for my room type either anymore. I am just SOL I guess. Has anyone had any luck calling back and finding cancellations?

I just happened to be on the passholder site this morning and saw it. I got no notification from Disney about this release and I haven't seen anyone mention it here on the DIS. I think Mousesavers just posted it recently too because when I went over there to check it was the top post. I don't see how it could have already been out for a week.

DVC Daisy · 02-02-2013, 12:29 PM

I also saw it here yesterday morning. I did not get a notification or anything either. On top of that, I called right away & apparently their computers were all down for several hours & they were unable to make any reservations. Very frustrating

I did go to the website & was finally able to book what I wanted there. You may try that.

Good luck!
