I saw a post today about AP Hotel rates being down, and I can't for the life of me find it now. But thank you to the poster... I was able to rebook our RPR for same dates, same room classification, and drop our cost from $2325 to $1572! The AP for me will cost $100 more than buying a dated ticket, and we lose the AMEX $200 refund from booking through the AMEX site, but the net is still a savings of $453. I'll take it.
Here's my question... the AP Hotel booking I made just says I need to show my AP at check in. And the cancelation is 5 days before check in.
If I buy the AP now, though, it is 100% non-refundable. And if for some crazy reason I find a better deal I'd rather not be stuck with an annual pass when we will only be in the parks for 2-3 days. I'm thinking about waiting to buy my AP until closer to my trip. Should I be worried about rates going up or are they set annually?
Also, we are flying in and won't land until 7:30 pm. At that point we will go straight to the hotel. The AP says that I will have to go pick up my AP at a park ticket window. Depending on when they close that night (a Tuesday) I may or may not be able to make it to a ticket window. Do you think the hotel will accept an email showing I bought it even if it hasn't been issued? Because if not, this could get messy.
