I don’t have to change hotels after our late flight arrival! We can stay put! I’m doing a happy dance, and other than my amazing TA, no one is quite as happy as me! This would have been ~$600 more before the AP rates!

I struggle to find AP hotel rates. When I google for a link to AP rates the first page works but the next Universal page redirects to a booking page where the AP code seems to disappear. Can you provide a link for the page you’re using?
Great savings @carihunt! I’m putting together a trip in June and trying to get the right combination of AP vs non AP…makes my head spin! Did you use a touring plans TA? Thinking I may need some professional help.
I use a friend of mine. I would be happy to give you her information if you would like it!

Sure, that would be great!
Thanks for this! I just spent more. 
Moved from a split CBR/RPR to all days at Portofino.
Would be the same price, I think but 2 of my 4 days are Seasonal blockout dates. Boo.
But, staying in one place for 4 nights is definitely worth the extra price.

That is the only change I would make at this point. If I could stay at Portofino, it would have my vote.
Thanks for the links, Accio and Cari. They are working for me (only not for the dates I want 
)
Cari, how did you find that your dates became available? Were you just checking periodically and one day they magically were available?
Between my agent & I, we check it multiple times a day. I am annoyed with social media, so instead of wasting time there, I would waste it on this! (And on Monday, the price decreased a second time, which saved us ~$300, so I booked the float ride & dine for us!)
I don’t know if days out matter, but I would imagine it does. We were 6 weeks exactly from our original arrival date when I found the first discount. I would guess that the occupancy wasn’t quite on target, so perhaps they released more AP rates.

I’ll also get into the habit of checking multiple times per day. The dates I’m looking for are the week after yours, right at peek spring break time. I know it’s unlikely that they’ll offer discounted rates during that week but I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Congratulations to you on snagging a second discount! That price for 6 nights in a swanky resort + express pass looks like a great deal to me!

Thanks for the inspiration @cari! AP rates for my dates dropped Monday. I booked a split stay at RP and DS using your AP tix mix strategy. Saved a ton vs. my initial booking. It’s gonna be awesome!
