TandCPlusRV 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Folks! My wife and I are new RV'ers - in fact, we don't even own an RV yet. We've spent the last year researching and getting ready, and are finally in the process of getting a small motorhome (probably this Summer, possibly as late as next Fall). So with that out of the way, a quick question for the Pros: We are HUGE Disney fanatics and go up on our seasonal passes probaly 6-8 times each year between September and March so we're all about the Passholder discount for hotels. There is literally always an annual passholder discount available on the resort properties but I noticed when I went in this morning to look for the Campground rates, only the cabins were listed. I swear though that in the past I'd specifically seen Campsites in addition to the cabins listed in the AP discount page. What gives? Is there an annual passholder discount for the campsites at FW? Does it just come and go with the seasons (i.e. there's no discount through May since it's busy right now)? Thanks for the information (on this thread AND via the immense amount of lurking I've done here since seeing many of the Fort Fiends' yard signs when we looped on foot during Christmas 2011 and '12 at the Fort.

We have the regular AP and so far no discounts but the AAA discount more than pays for the membership cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TandCPlusRV 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Do you have to call to book in order to use AAA or is it an option someplace when booking online? We're AAA members already as well. Does the AAA work year round? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if it's year round or not... new member Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 All discounts are usually of "limited quantity" and almost never for the "holilday/peak". You will usually find fewer available for the full and preferred sites as well, but also there are fewer of those sites in general compared to the number of premium. When the TA made our Oct res Premium sites had the AAA and they were cheaper than preferred. I would definitely use a Travel Agent since they can keep an eye out for the discounts when they are announced and also make your reservation as early as possible. Book a site only, requires a 1 night deposit, you can always change it to a package at a later date. Oh and "welcome". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 There isn't anywhere booking through the website to search for or enter any discounts. You can call Disney directly, although sometimes is takes multiple calls to track down an available discount. Alternately you can use a travel agent, who'll do all that leg work for you. A great place to stay on top of available discounts is MouseSavers.com. Sign up for their newsletter and they'll keep you well informed about new discounts as they pop up. :welcrowd: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Confirming that the current AP room only discount that runs 4/2 - 6/3 does NOT include campsites. http://www.mousesavers.com/walt-disney-world-vacation-discounts-and-deals/disney-world-resort-hotel-discounts-codes/#discountmenu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LORNADUCK 261 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 the lastest discount that came out this week I think is thru August, called yesterday, none for the campsites. No passholder rates for the campsites either. Only one seems to be AAA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yep - that's what I've been seeing/hearing too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
