Originally Posted By serendipityaey We saved so much money with the AP rate on the GCH, but only after calling a bunch of times. Sometimes different CM's will give you different answers.

Originally Posted By jdurk Thanks everyone. I feel very relieved. When I read that on the pass, I got worried that I really messed up. We are going the second week of July and early December.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Although it says that the parking is only for the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure, I've never had a problem using it at the Timon lot as well. You can probably use it for Pumbaa as well, but I don't know about the other lots, behind the hotels.

I do not know if that is normal or if I was really lucky.
