Varies but I believe on average, 2-3 months out.When do the AP rates come out ?
Right now I see AP rates for a few hotels up until the week of December 11. You have to put in your dates and number in your party and the hotels that have AP for those dates will appear. As soon as you see Seasonal etc it means dates are not out or they are sold out of AP rooms.When do the AP rates come out ?
I cancelled two reservations last month and it took 14 days. Hang in there a few more days and then call if you don't receive it.I cancelled my original HRH reservation when I rebooked an annual pass rate. The cancellation said that my deposit would be returned in 7-10 business days. It was 10 on Friday and I still haven't received my deposit back on my cc. How long has everyone been seeing their canceled deposits being returned?
It just makes me nervous.
Yea - I have 5 cancelled reservations I am waiting on currently because of all the adjustment as various AP rates become available - the longest is 9 days so should see it this week - there is a thread specifically about this and in many cases for whatever reason it is taking about two weeks (maybe its 10 business days)Thank you! I'll give it a few more business days before I contact them.
It also can be delayed by your credit card company, so it's not always due to Universal.I cancelled my original HRH reservation when I rebooked an annual pass rate.

Yeah its 20% offI still have almost a year left with my AP, but I was wondering… when it comes time to renew, do you typically get a discounted renewal cost (like 20% off or something) or do you pay the full cost of a new AP? I’m a non-Florida resident.
Awesome thanks and good points!Yeah its 20% off
Since you are out of state you will need to decide if its worth renewing - In my case it usually expires at a point where I may not be going back for 5 or so months so its better off just buying a new one before I go or watching for deals with 3 months free and buying it then
Or you could just book more trips! I renewed my AP in May, will be going in Oct, Dec, May, and possibly January 2022Awesome thanks and good points!
They should be consistent. We stayed at PB in May. I checked in and then picked up my AP. No one ever asked to see the AP. I texted the front desk prior to checkout, asking if they would like me to come show them my AP and they said not to worry about it.Our experience in May at Cabana Bay was the same as Catpenguin's - ressie was in my name & they asked for my AP at check in.
Same thing last August, too, at Sapphire Falls - I actually can't think of a visit where they haven't asked except for our very first visit 3 years ago.
Yeah - my refund from Aventura took 10 days exactly.13 calendar days since I canceled the Savvy Traveler rate and booked under AP rate.... still waiting for my refund for the Savvy Traveler rate...
this is my current consideration but I feel like my Nov dates may end up busier come the weekend (first offerings of xmas stuff)Yeah - my refund from Aventura took 10 days exactly.
I have 5 more I am still waiting on - RPR is at 11 days.
It's a pain - but with the AP prices its hard to complain
My biggest issue now is it worth staying at one of the Express Pass hotels if things are so slow - tempted to switch to SF and save $500 for 5 of the nights
