AP rates are out

[Fantasia Sam]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe I've just saved $2475 over 22 nights.

This is fabulous !!

I got an AP rate for WL Courtyard View for $140 a night instead of $250

and then I got Yacht Club for Xmas but check-in on 19th so still value season for $174 a night instead of $289

These prices do not include tax.

I'd booked in at the Swan for Xmas because I didn't think I'd get a Deluxe Epcot resort hotel at an AP rate - I'm so chuffed with myself right now.

This makes an AP all the more attractive. I had to hold for 30 mins first but I got bored and hung up - then I ran back 10 mins later and got through in just over 10 mins. The CM told me there were waits for an hour and over 180 people holding - YIKES !!

Excellent news Sam.

I wish I didnt have my Grosvenor reservation as I would be booking the AP rate for the first 4 nights of our vacation.

oh my! I said we weren't going to move because it would be too much hassle, but I can't tell you how tempting 2 nights onsite would be. If we went in the middle of our trip, we wouldn't have to move everythign, we could just pack an overnight bag,]

Now which would be better, the Boardwalk for the night life and walking distance to Epcot and MGM, or the Poly for the monorail - it's a toughie!

Oh Bev that is a hard decision - why don't you decide on where you want to eat that night and do it that way. I always let my stomach do the talking ;)

[Ear_Poppin]

Sam,

I agree Stomaches do the best talking and make the most sense!!!Mine talks to me every day LOUDLY. lol

Thanks for posting the AP imfo I was seriously thinking of buying one when I go in Oct next year with my brother etc. DH is not going on that trip. I can then to go back within the year ( just ) and not only use it again but get discounts on rooms if it all goes to plan!!
