It doesn't work for all nights but might be worth a look With ours it seemed that the "savings" was that the Fall Getaway offer didn't bump up the weekend rate but the AP rate did. <<<<knows we can "save" a bunch of money by staying off site, this isn't what the post is about Just thought I'd throw that in ahead of time so the original post doesn't get lost in the "why would anyone pay Disney prices" usual yada

We had booked the special AP rate, not the 10%. A poster on another website wrote that it didn't make a difference in their rates. I really think ours changed because of the weekend rates. He called the DLR hotels reservation line.

Originally Posted By rtjl72 Tandelothien- thanks for the news. since my call followed your last call(right after the ap rates came out), i was going to follow in line for this discount, too. but, i will take your word for it that it would not be a better rate. you know, they make note on your ressie every time you call in to inquire or make a request regarding the ressie. i probably have a list under my name a mile long. glad, this will be one less entry after my name. lol!!!

I've read that it depends on the hotel you are staying at if they are better than or equal to the AP rate. We'll be at the Grand this time around. I love looking for a better "deal", it's a sickness I know
