What are passholder benefits for 2007?

[WDWPinCollector]

The WDW website, under passholder section, indicates the new benefits for 2007 will be listed 01/02/2007. It's now 01/04/2007 and the same 2006 benefits are there. Anyone know when the 2007 benefits will be listed on WDW's site? I'm heading there this Saturday, 01/06, the first day in 2007 out of my FL seasonal passholder blackout dates. Thanks.

Just assume the benefits are the same until they have changed them on the website. Even after they post the 2007 benefits, doing it "online only" will enable them to change them (add or subtract) at any time on a whim. The best move is to always ask (everywhere at WDW) if they offer a passholder discount.

See you around the parks!

I've emailed Disney 3 times now asking when they intend to update the passholder website with 2007 benefits/discounts. First response back to me was a "standard" email advising of the current discount for AP holders on room rates. Wrote back a second time advising that wasn't what I was inquiring about. According to an email I rec'd this morning from Betsy (?) at WDW, she advised the website has the 2007 benefits/discounts. Wrote back (3rd time now) and told her that there appears to be a problem with the website then because I sure couldn't see any 2007 dining discounts, only the 2006 discounts.

I like to carry a copy of the dining discounts with me because we had an issue at one of the restaurants indicating that they didn't give dining discounts, when in fact after talking to a manager, they did in fact give the discount. I realize that WDW has the right to change/alter the dining discount list at any time, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask a manager if they honored the discount. Glad I asked! Every little saving at WDW helps in my opinion.

Visiting WDW Jan. 14th - 19th (without grandkids), and again Feb. 3rd - 11th (with grandkids). LOVE those annual passes!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the information. I, too, would like to know what places offer the discount before I go. I was hoping to print out the list rather than go to the TTC to pick up the card for 2007, which is where I received my 2006 when I bought my first pass.

jksgrammy - That is why I said it is best to ask. If you inquire in a restaurant and the server tells you no, kindly ask if he could check with the manager (IF you think that restaurant does offer the discount). I don't keep up with the restaurant discounts for passholders because I am in the DDE so don't need it.

When you get your pass now, the pass protector sleeve they provide no longer includes the benefits pages. You would still need to check the website regularly.

One reason for the delay in posting 2007 benefits on the site (if they have changed) could be that Disney.com will debut a totally revised website on January 8th at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The site will go live worldwide on that date. I would imagine that it will include a totally revamped WDW site, but am not certain.

Saved a lot the last few years with the AP discounts.

Went to WDW yesterday, 01/06/2007. The new passholder benefits card for 2007 is now out.

Definitely assume they are the same til otherwise stated. We were passholders in 04-05 and again now 06-07....really nothing looks that much diffferent...but I could be mistaken
