AP Advice please (and Thank You)

Guys,

I blew it. I waited to long to go to TDS to purchase our AP vouchers with our Disney Club discount. We are now inside 3 weeks, and since TDS has to order them (they do not have them in the stores) they would not do it, since the manager could not guarantee the vouchers would arrive in time.

So...I called the Disney Club last night, and could order them over the phone, to be picked up at Will Call or I just wait til we get there and do the whole thing.

Here is my question (FINALLY) can I buy the passes a Guest Services at Downtown Disney? We are staying offsite for the first week, and I am trying to avoid 2 things; paying to park at a park just to buy passes the day before, or wasting precious precious park time our first morning in the parks to buy them. We arrive late Saturday night, don't plan on doing any parks Sunday, and starting bright and early Monday morning.

We are having dinner at Chef Mickey's Sunday night. Should we just go earlier than our PS, and monorail to the TTC or MK and do it then?

Decisions, decisions, decisions

Thanks everyone!

You're staying OFF SITE?????

[debster812]

JTB--Only for a week, and the lodgings offsite are FREE! (Thanks mom and dad). Then we move onsite for another 5 days.

OK?????;) :)

WELL............. I'll have to consult Walt on the Ouija board tonight and get back to you.......

But what about my question????? (insert slight whine into my voice here ;) )

This is what I'd do.

But I'd walk to the MK and take the monorail back, since the monorail runs clockwise, and you'd have to ride almost full circle to go from CR to MK. But it's a nice stroll. :)

Dunno. I've never had an AP. I'm sure after dinner someone will be along to answer your question.

OR did you mean that you want me to ask Walt that too?

I'd arrive early for your PS on Sunday and then walk or monorail to the MK and take care of business. I've never gotten AP's but had vouchers for hoppers when MetLife sponsored the Wonders of Life....and they could only be redeemed at Guest Services at a park. It may have changed since then but 3 years ago Guest Services at Downtown Disney couldn't do it.

Guest services at DD is the way to go. Two years ago, we made reservations with an AP rate. We hauled booty to get down there before the parks closed to get the APs. Didn't make it. Called CRO (or something similar) and they told us GS at DD is open until 11 and can sell the passes. Then they didn't ask to see the APs when we checked in, but hey, we had them.

Enjoy your trip.

Agree on DD, Debbie. Here is the AP FAQ from Deb.
