AP Discount Watch and FAQ 2023. 10% - 40% off select nights July 11 - Sept 28; Oct 2 - Dec 25

Our trip is 8/29-9/4. Is it possible to book for the full week without having to change rooms? 1 reservation with rack rate 8/29-9/1 and AP rate 9/1-9/4?

we've done it quite a few times and have never had to move, just make sure they link your ressies.

They will do their best to not have you change rooms, no guarantee. I've done it several times when we spanned 2 different discounts and never had to move. I'd do it this time as well, but I'd lose the summer fun discount I have so not worth it. If it saves me a significant amount, I take the chance.

I finally just called last night to see about AP discounts for my 2 rooms at POP in August (I know, I'm behind). I'm glad I called yesterday before the new date dropped! Anyway, I saved over $400 so I'm pretty happy!

 

[emmabelle]

No availability that I see.

really? ughhhh, if I've waited this long on hold for nothing I'll be mad.

At 1 hour, 10 mins....this is insane!

Get the issue of the voucher not allowing you to book AP. and if here is nothing available today, keep checking.

There was nothing for my dates in late September either. It's based on occupancy rates. If they don't need to fill a resort or specific room category, discounts aren't going to be there. I imagine the epcot deluxe resorts are booking pretty well due to SWGE. There is plenty of availability almost anywhere else.

 

[emmabelle]

I'm seeing plenty of availability with the fall and holiday rate, I just want the PH discount because it's better.

If I can't get YC or BWI then I'll just keep GT CL.

Good morning everyone! I was wondering if someone would check AP rates for Caribbean Beach for 12/20/2019 - 12/26/2019. I would want the rate of the cheapest room. I booked CB back in January and got a rate of $286 per night on a standard room. I just need to know if I can do any better with the AP discount before I call and sit on hold all morning. I have my AP vouchers linked, but like everyone else, I can't see the AP rates.

Thank you and good luck to everyone!

I called right at 7am, on home phone and cell phone. Cell phone was horrible cutting in and out of the music. Home phone dropped me at 35 minutes in. Called back, wait said 90 minutes. Cell phone was still waiting. Home phone dropped me again after 10 minutes. Cell phone picked up to a representative at about 45 minute wait. She could hear me fine, but she was cutting up a little. I just told her to bare with me haha!! I got the AP discount applied to my already booked rack rate reservation for All Star Music the week before Christmas. She had to put me on hold several times to get the discount applied, was having trouble. But it was available for the dates I already had booked. Got it applied in about 15 minutes on the phone with her, saved about $200 dollars!! So happy. We would have chosen Pop Century but the price was too high for this second trip after September trip. Trying to squeeze in a cheaper trip to see Christmas stuff. I'm happy and excited!

 

[emmabelle]

got through!

Just woke up enough to realize that I have Fun & Sun on my booking already. Not messing with it!

 

[sara_s]

I'm at an hour, 20 mins. How is this possible? LOL!

 

[Pdollar88]

I kept trying to modify my reservation online. Went ahead and booked a passholder rate on a preferred room at All Star Sports for Sept 11-15. It's $20 more than my original reservation (ugh), but I would like the convenience. I'm also hoping the full price rooms on Friday/Saturday will change to a discounted rate, as I saw discussed earlier, if I keep checking.

1:19:33 hold time for me so far!! I really hope I get something!

In France and leisurely perusing the new rates. Disappointed that there is nothing for 8/29 and 8/30 as there is still a lot of availability at rack rate. Perhaps a crowd control play? Or maybe WDW not willing to admit defeat.

Checked a few weeks in early November and the AP discount didn’t have very good availability at all. A bust.

Agreed. Though we have CSR booked on the Sun & Fun for about $170 a night, I would've liked to see different options.

I just checked again and availability seems to have come up. This is check in 10/26 check out 10/30, 2 adults. 509 standard cl, 595 water view. That's before tax. I can't add it to my cart to give you a total as I have a reservation already selected. Now if only it would pop up for my dates!

 

[OtherFigment]

We have fun and sun booked already for early September, but want to change resorts, so crossing my fingers. I finally got into the IVR! Now here's praying I don't get dropped!

 

[emilymad]

They are definitely having issues with their computers. I have been on hold several times now. I hope it can all get booked ok.
