Fri 7/3/2009 12:51p | We're planning to go Oct. 11 - 15 for my son's birthday. My AP lowers our rates here by $100/stay but I'd like to do better. Any ideas on how to get a lower rate?

Also, if you or your spouse (or any person staying in your room that can book/pay for the reservation) work in the hotel biz, the discount is 30%. You can mention it when booking, but will have to show proof of employment at check-in.
That's the discount we use even as AP holders. :-) |

Sun 7/12/2009 6:41p | Thanks Wondering Alice! Unfortunatly none of us work in the hotel biz. I don't have the AP yet and won't be able to check the AP website till after I get there. I guess my only hope is that they will extend the AP8 rate that is now only till the end of September. |

Mon 7/13/2009 10:08a | Hey disneymum... I'm looking at the AP calendar for Paradise Pier now...
For September, the rates are really low for the last week, 9/27/28/29 & 30... $129. October 1 is at $221, which isn't too bad.
You can book it now and tell them you're an AP holder. Just make sure you have it to present when you check in. ;-)
I'm sure you know that you can order APs online... Disney ships them ship pretty fast, but I'd make the purchase(s) three weeks in advance, just in case. |

Mon 7/13/2009 10:09a | BTW... Those rates don't have a corresponding AP code. It's just what the calendar says. :-) |

Mon 7/13/2009 10:11a | Me again... You'll want to book soon if those dates work for you. Looks like the cut-off may be August 16 (that's what it shows for AP8, anyway... I'd assume the same may be possible for booking the regular AP rate without the code.) |

Tue 7/14/2009 9:07a | Our plane tickets are already bought for Oct. 11 - 15 as this is a birthday trip for my son (Oct. 13!). I was kind of hoping for a $129 rate..... guess I will just hope they lower the rates. Thanks so much for your help. Luckily my parkhoppers were "free" through an airmiles program and I already have them. |
