2008 Passholder room-only "discount"
- Thread starter imamouse
- Start date
The time frame for that discount is during peak season. Chances are the weekends are already sold out or pretty close to it. I am surprised an AP rate was give out at all for those dates. There was an AP rate for the dates prior to htat that covered all 7 days of the week.

It may not be that actually. Remember that the ad only mentions the one price for Sunday - Thursday. Fridays & Saturdays may be higher based on the day to day pricing that was mentioned a while ago. So you might be able to get the AP rate of $79.00 on your check in night but if you want to stay on Friday it might be say $89 or $99 or whatever depending on what the pricing is and IF AP discounts are available for that night as well. Basically every night will be taken individually. If an AP rate is available it will be given, if it is a weekend or a holiday evening it might be higher than the quoted $79 even with the AP rate. It may be even higher if there isnt an AP rate available for that particular night. So in theory every night of your stay could be a differrent price. I dont know if I did a great job of explaining it as it looks so confusing down in writing!!!! Hope this helps!!! Belle

Of course!!! It is a pretty confusing system especially for those of us who had it great for so many years with the single prcing for all of the nights of a given trip!!! Belle

I'm with you on this one. I've been searching for rates for a couple of different weekend nights in Feb. and the rates are really bad even with the AP discount. Then I noticed the whole "Sunday through Thursday" thing and basically said: welcome to 2008. I guess that's what it's going to be like now? So sad. Kinda puts a damper on those last minute weekend trips. Looks like I'll be driving over and back and not staying

Keep an eye out for rates at the Hilton in LBV, because at times I've seen $99 rates their and they have the emh benefit. Also, the Marriott Orlando World Center has at times some very inexpensive rates and right outside the gates of WDW and it's a very nice hotel, I've stayed their.

I just found the actual mailer for this offer (one of the many people on my accoutn got it) code FHZ right?
If so, SSR and OKW are only $149 most nights 1/21-2/13
Come to thinkl of it - this aint the AP offer, this is Florida Resident, but at the same rates. Maybe check under this code too?

Bid $60 on a resort in LBV through priceline - only Hilton ever offers that rate, so the chances of getting anyone else is non-existent, though it's not always offered.

Ack, my brain hurts - different dates on FL-resident offer too.
Early Feb not late feb.
Gah - does anyone have a "possible discount matrix" we could perhaps look at?

Yeah, same here, no late Feb for FL Res only for AP. So far I have this:
I used Coronado Springs:
Sat. 2/2 $112 Fl Res
Sat. 2/2 $168 AP
Sun. 2/3 $112 Fl Res
Sun. 2/3 $112 AP
Fri. 2/15 $230 AP
Sun. 2/17 $230 AP
No Fl Res rates for late Feb.
Late Feb is Peak Season
Early Feb is Value Season
All of these were the same room type.
So some of it follows what we were saying and some of it blows our theory out of the water. I guess it's going to be hard to predict, based on availability which you won't know until you try.

I can't find a place on Disney's site to enter a code like your FHZ
I get virtually the same price for 2/15 as I do for 2/29 so I guess those "pin" dates don't apply to AP

That's because you can't - you must call it in.
