AP discounts up to 35% out 10/2 thru 12/25 today 😀

My vote is a quirk that availability literally popped in that second and the CM snagged it. Don’t think front line CMs have the ability to just apply a discount.

I agree. I don’t know much about DVC resorts, but I also wonder if it’s the exact same category. As @dancergirlsmom said, she changed categories to get the discount.

I didn't change categories. Always stay preferred at Saratoga if we stay there. The CM did say that she had to check if that resort category was eligible for the discount and then said it was. She applied it to the first two nights, not the second two nights. Perhaps when I searched, because I was searching for the same 4 nights, it said no availability just because I had the weekend in my search. I guess if I had just searched the first two nights or if my 4 nights would have all been midweek it would have shown me something. That would stink though for people just checking to see if they were eligible. I am going to go check now on availability and just hit mid week then do it again for real dates. Will update.

update- in the queue! Almost in orbit.

no availability with weekend in the search


availability if just looking at midweek four days



So even though it showed no availability, the CM was able to give me the discount because it was still open on midweek days and my first two nights were midweek. Guess the moral of the story is to just call and ask.

I managed to save a little over a $800 on our existing AKL stay.

From your first post, I took it to mean she gave you the discount for every night of your stay. But she did not, but gave you the discount for the nights that were available. She took the time to check nights separately & apply it to them, which is great. That’s very different from saying she just gave you the discount because you called. But it is exactly like I said, the discount has to be available to book it. It was not available for your last 2 nights, and you did not get a discount for the nights it wasn’t available. When I’m looking for discounts, I look for individual nights, or different lengths of stays myself. You saved your self the work by calling. But my point is, you didn’t get a discount that wasn’t available just because you had a room booked already & called.

to be clear, I never said I got it for every night. I simply said I had a previous ressie, called and even though it showed no availability for the nights of my stay, I still got the discount applied to my ressie.

When you say “applied to my reservation” it sounds like you got it for your whole stay. I don’t think I’m the only person who read it that way. I’m just trying to clarify it so other people who read it have realistic expectations.

Even at Disney $800 will go a long way!

Years ago this thread would have been on fire. Now it's just a few people posting.

Could anyone check and see if there is anything savannah view at Jambo house on Oct 26-28 with AP rate?
I have a confirmation number, but it will not link it.

Deluxe studio… $732
1 bedroom….$1032


I’m not familiar with the 2 different hotels there, but the description says Jambo so hope that’s right.

Thank you!

Have you tried the usual Disney IT fixes? (Like clear cookies, change browsers, try incognito.) Sometimes they help, sometimes not and you have to call.

Thanks for that! I'm in Canada, but when I changed to US, i was able to see everything.

\o/ I saved a little over $1000 for our stay at the Fort Wilderness cabins 11/27-12/3.
The discount was exactly the same for both passholder and disney+ subscribers for our dates.

Same for me and I'm there almost the same dates. See you then!

Would someone please check a few dates for me? I'm trying to decide if we should upgrade our tickets to an annual pass or not, still taking 2 trips within a year might as well save money if it's possible! We're eligible for the Disney + discount but not sure if the AP will be the same, more or less

Nov 23rd -25th @ POP
Nov 25th - 27th @ any of the EPCOT resorts (whichever is cheapest, not picky!)

Side note- I can't believe how wide open availability is considering it's your Thanksgiving weekend!

When running math also consider only upgrading 1 ticket to an AP. That would still get all discounts for dining, merch & hotel.
