We're currently at the Disneyland Hotel enjoying the AP5 discount ($169.00 per nite). I'm curious about something. When we asked (both on the phone & in person) if we could add concierge we were told the rate would go up to $495.00 per nite (incl. concierge). Any thoughts on why AP's can't add concierge at the regular rate?:confused:

I'd guess because they currently don't have any concierge level rooms available at the discounted rate. It's not simply a matter of adding on a benefit. You'd be moving to a whole new category of booking, one that has probably already booked its allotment of AP rooms. So you'd have to convert to a rack rate, which is the $495 nightly rate.

Just guessing, of course.

Could be... Good guess... But not very many folks here & fewer in the E Ticket lounge. Thanks!

The Disney Hotels have some strange booking/pricing policies.

Such as I have booked four nights with AP rates only to find that the kids have something at school they can't miss, so I ask to cancel one of my nights - but they can't do that. You have to cancel the entire reservation then hope there is 3 nights still available at the AP rate to re-book.. If not, you are out of luck.

So now I am extra careful on which dates I book. I have never run into a situation like that at any other hotel.

But for what it is worth, we booked a suit with concierge at the DLH for my 40th birthday in 2005, and felt $125 a night extra was pretty pricey for what you get. I rather spend the money elsewhere.

Last December we got spoiled with the special AP Concierge rates. Alas, they are not available anymore :crying: Anyone have any recent luck upgrading to Concierge at check in time for a small nominal fee? I seem to remember hearing people had done this in the past. If so how much?

Thanks
