Thanks Hopperfan! LOL, there must be something in the water or coffee this morning, I was just about to jump on the phone to ask a Disney CM about AP rates for our stay at Pop this January. Disappointing that there still isn't anything available, but your logic makes sense. I could call them and ask about the other resorts, but I think we're pretty excited to stay at Pop, so that might be a lesson in futility (as is so often the case when being on the phone with Disney). On the other hand, I didn't think I had much of a current discount for our upcoming stay, but I learned it was 15%, so although booking at the 25% AP rate would be nice, I think the difference is less than $100. Would be nice to save on room rates twice if I upgrade to an AP, but it was good to know that if I did upgrade during our trip, at least Memory Maker would be refunded so that helps.
I had looked at CSR as well, thinking for only a little bit more we could stay at a moderate compared to a value resort. I got some advice from other posters that the current construction, wide open layout, bus system, and somewhat bland theming might not be as appealing to our 4 year old, so I booked Pop instead.
