I am an AP holder, so we always take advantage of the room discount. I will say that on our last four trips, our room has been upgraded without our asking for it, so I guess there can be perks some times. I have also learned that as a AP holder that if you book your stay, it is worth double and triple checking back to see if the rates or rooms change. My example is we are attending the 24 hour event this weekend. We had a room booked at CBR for Thursday - Monday with AP discount that I really just wasn't in love with, but it was only like $650 so we were looking for the cheap without staying at a Value. I really wanted to stay at YC, but it was sold out, as well as BC and BW and the Poly & Cont were like $425/night for standard view room. Basically I checked everyday just to see if the rooms would open up or if there were any cancellations, at one point, the only resorts with discounts available for our date range were AK, GF (Club Level), FW, and PORFQ. Yesterday when I checked there were a lot more resorts with rooms available all of a sudden, and I was able to get the Poly for $350/night. So it was kind of like getting a last minute discount as they tried to fill up the rooms.
