In addition to the new DVC AP offer, there's one for a 7 day ticket. Interestingly, it includes this statement that seems to imply that the ticket has a six month expiration after its first use. This would be a huge change in WDW tickets since you could presumably use the ticket over multiple trips in a six month period.
Important Information
Ticket must be first used by December 31, 2018. Tickets are valid for admission beginning July 6, 2017 and must be used within 6 months of first use or by June 30, 2018, whichever occurs first.
That's not fully without precedent as this has been the case for tickets purchased by Florida residents for many years.
Thanks. So now it appears they've extended that to DVC members as well.
FLA RESIDENT.
1. Can they buy a 4 day ticket (most likely a 4 day PH + WP) and then upgrade to the 7 day when we get there?
Looking at buying through OrlandoFunTicket...their price $282 before tax...$302 with tax.
2. Right now with blackout dates it looks like FLA residents aren't getting any discounts - can this be true?
So, would our friend price bridge to $468.60, which is the regular price for a 4 day PH + WP ticket? Then add $64 ($63.90) to upgrade to the 7 day PH+WP, which is $532.50?
Thanks for any help and advice!
I have questions about upgrading to AP. I know this has to be done in person. My situation is this: I have 4, 7 day UT parkhoppers that I plan on upgrading to Gold (well, now Platinum Plus due to the recent deal) AP's for my kids. I'm going with DW in early Dec, but won't be back with the kids until late January.
So my questions are:
1. Can I upgrade their tickets for them even though they are not there? I'm pretty sure the answer to that question is yes but then that leads to another question:
2a. How is this handled logistically? Do I need to bring each of their MB's?
2b. Or they scan mine and see all the tickets linked to various people in my profile?
3. By performing this upgrade does that automatically activate the pass as of the upgrade date?
4. Or is this there a way for these to still be listed on my account as "vouchers" so to speak until I come back with the kids in January?
5. That way they can get activated late Jan as opposed to early Dec.
TIA!
We have a trip coming up in August (party of 8).
I am considering getting ONE DVC AP for myself if it makes any financial sense ... we only have the one trip planned, so it's the current benefits that will be the deciding factor.
That's where some input would be appreciated.
I was thinking Gold, but with new offer, the Platinum Plus would be the same cost and include water parks, right?
I will most-likely pre-purchase Memory Maker if I don't get the AP.
We have at least three (possibly four) park days planned.
We have at least one (likely two) water park days planned.
There are a few quick-service locations we will likely use that offer 20% AP discounts (and no DVC or TIW discounts).
If I don't get an AP, I will be using park-hopper and water park entitlements off of partially used non-expiring tickets.
1. By my thinking, I should at least "break even" going the AP route, and possibly save some money. Am I way off base here?
2. If I go the AP route, how can I ensure that entitlements are not being taken from my non-expiring tickets?
1a. How old are the kids?
1b. How many APs do you want?
2a. As long as they are both listed in your MDE account, MBs are not necessary.
2b. Or, just look up your account with your name.
In either case, you will need a legal PHOTO ID.
3. No.
4. Yes. Be SURE to ASK for "AP Certificates" and not activated APs.
5. Correct.
Assuming I have multiple Park Hopper Plus "options" left,
1. can I do multiple rounds of mini-golf in one day? I saw some language on a third-party ticket seller's site that made me unsure; it could just be funky wording. I don't want any nasty surprises on the trip!
2. I know it would be one option spent per round.
1. Its just math. Do the figuring vs. what you want on your list and look at the price difference.
2. Go to any Guest Relations before going into a park and have the CM set the ticket(s) that you
DON'T want to use to the LOWEST PRIORITY. Those tickets won't be used until the higher priority
ticket(s) is/are used up.
Can Guest Relations at Disney Springs prioritize tickets?
Considering getting my 16 year old son an annual pass for our next trip in January. If my husband and I do not have an annual pass,
1. can we still utilize my son's free parking and meal discount benefits if we are together?
2. But he wouldn't be driving into the parking lot. My husband would.
3. My son will have an Amex in his name so he could charge meals to that card.
4. He also has his drivers license so has photo ID.
5. I'm pretty sure we'd be fine using his photo pass benefits since we're all connected on MDE also. Any advice for this type of situation?
6. I would assume we couldn't use it for a room discount since there's probably an age requirement for booking rooms.
