Would love if anyone has any info about AP Nights for this time and/or good clues that AP Nights may be made available soon. Thanks, christine

Originally Posted By christila Sorry I was not more specific. By looking for AP nights at the GCH and DH, I meant the Grand Californian Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel.

Has anyone noticed a pattern, or kept a record of how far in advance AP nights are typically released, and/or know if the end of April / early May there have historically been AP nights at the DLR hotels made avilable? Thanks, and sorry for any confusion. ~ christine
Originally Posted By officerminnie I asked this queston awhile back and was told it would be rare to have AP rates in May, and that last year there were none during the entire month. So I'll be paying through the nose at the GCH!

Originally Posted By brea77 Quick question regarding early park entry, do you think that the Subs will be available for early entry come June? Any ideas, I was just wondering.
Originally Posted By just_beatla I say we dont' answer that cause if we say yes, then a whole bunch of people will do that and would be just as bad. If we say no, then it gives some of us a chance to ride it. So I say don't ask, don't tell
Originally Posted By ploeb909 I belive that in some of the past, AP Newsletters, they discounted hotel nights for APs has been called AP Nights. Meaning there are discounts available to people holding an Annual Pass. And by the way what is LP holder???
Originally Posted By SuzieQ Yes, they've called them AP Nights in the past. Schmitty, AP Nights are when they offer Annual Passholders the better discounts to the DL hotels (beyond the 10% standard).
