AP Discount Watch and FAQ 2023. 10% - 40% off select nights July 11 - Sept 28; Oct 2 - Dec 25

[MapleGirl]

Normally by 6 am you can see them online. Sometimes earlier than that (I'm not up), like 5 am. Not before 4 am.

And there isn't a new GP offer either. The pattern has been that we usually see a GP offer first, with lower discounts, and then an AP offer a little later with 2% - 10% higher discount.

What is GP?

What is GP?

General Public. Meaning, you don’t need a special affiliation, such as an annual pass, military or Florida residence to be able to book it.

Didn't know the Visa discount was available. Thank you for posting that! Do you have to call to get that one? I believe that's what I did in the past. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait a few hours before I can call

Yes, you have to call and tell them you have a Disney Visa

Apparently, there isn't a link to book online. You have to call. There isn't information either about how much the discount is for each resort. Seems each one may be different.

Ugh, but why is the Visa discount only through end of September? lol

I know! That's what I thought. I do actually have a Disney Visa, but I want Dec discounts UGH!

I really don't understand Disney sometimes. September is in the 60 day FP+ window for almost all dates. Are they expecting people to book last minute vacations? Disney doesn't really work like that anymore.

They are still trying to fill rooms for August...

And good luck to them lol. Between the potential for tropical weather, the heat and the fact that Galaxy's Edge opens at the end of the month I think they'll be hard pressed to get people to book last min trips for the summer.

SERIOUSLY! I booked a "last minute" June trip because I got a good rate and wanted to see IllumiNations one last time. It reminded me of why I like October and December at WDW

Huh. The cast member I just spoke with said they didn't have any discounts they could apply to my reservation, which is Sept 11-15. I let them know that I have a Disney Visa, which they spent time checking, and an AP. Nothing.

I'll call back and see if I get a different answer, but I was told there was no Visa discount. Frustrating.

From this post it seems the discount is only applicable to certain rooms and room categories. It's what we've been discussing that Disney is waiting to see what resorts and rooms are not booking well and only discount those.

Also, if the CM sounded like he/she could not find the offer at all, hang up and call again and see if they can first locate the offer.

HTH!

Spoke to a second cast member. He also said that there is no Visa discount at this time. He said that that did not apply to the resort I am booked at specifically, but there was no discount across the board at this time.

I'll try calling one more time! Thank you for that info. It might actually make sense for me to switch to Coronado.

For our vets around here... if a GP or AP offer is released tomorrow does they usually go live right at 7am?

A seasoned Disney travel CM just confirmed that for me this morning when I was tweaking my October reservations...which is why I should probably have one of my Eastern time zone friends call to wake me up if they get released ! Maybe I should’ve used because I’m afraid of the “if” right now! Surely Disney didn’t just raise AP rates $250 and eliminate our room discounts too??!!
