We recently encountered this question, we'll also be there Thanksgiving week and DH has 2 tee times. With the DVC discount, you have to buy a card for (I think the cost is) $50, and the discount is only good after 10:00 am. You have to both golf several times and also be willing to golf after 10:00 am. The AP discount is 30% off day visitor rates, and it's good for anytime. What DH went for is the "2 for" rate. I don't remember what that discount was, sorry, but he had to commit to playing twice (no hardship for him). I hope your DH has tee times already. Several weeks ago, when I called, Osprey Ridge and Eagle Pines had virtually no tee times. Also, the Palm is being overseeded, so play on that course will be severely limited for a few days that week.
