DVC Annual Pass

[erionm]

How does it work if I purchase a pass that I want to activate in November when it comes to making park reservations?

John

Once it's linked to MDE and assigned to an individual, you can make park reservations.

We decided to add our adult children as owners in 2019. You can have up to six owners on a deed.

We felt comfortable with this and went through all the pros and especially cons, like bankruptcy and divorce, or that once they own, you can’t sell without them giving their approval. Even after that we decided it was still something we wanted to do,

They are eligible for benefits now. If you have more than one contract in a membership, all have to be changed or it triggers a new membership.

Thanks for this info. We have two contracts: a 25-point contract and a larger contract at BCV. Both were purchased long before the resale restrictions. I had the idea of just adding the girls to the 25-point contract. If that creates a new membership, then would we have to transfer the points from the 25 point to the larger contract to use? Would they have full benefits if staying on points from the larger contract?

Yes and Yes......
I bought resale in 2017 after the initial restriction. I then added a small 25 pt contract in the same UY to get benefits (that was the requirement at the time). I later added my adult daughters to the 25 point contract only. We now all have member benefits (3 households). I transfer the 25 points to my main contract when I make a reservations. We get full member benefits (MM, discounts, AP, lounge...) all the time, not just when there on the 25 point contract.

Thanks for the response! I think this is probably the best solution for our situation.

I am a DVC member but my sister is not. Can I buy her the discounted Sorcerer pass on Thursday? We have the same last name and home address on our ID’s

Yes

What website are we supposed to be using to order passes tomorrow? DVC?

 

[Maistre Gracey]

I only have resell points I need a Sorcerers Pass… I’m praying there will be a glitch that will allow me to buy a pass on the 13th. I have missed my annual pass since I let it lapse. Does anyone know how to fake an ID and say I live in your house?

I know you are joking about the fake ID, but if you do “get away with buying a sorcerer through a glitch”, don’t post it here. There are snitches that will actually report the activity.

People have suggested that it will be disneyworld.com not the dvc website. If you log in and go to the ticket buying page, and then the annual pass page, you should see the sorcerer pass listed if you are eligible to buy it. If it is before the sale starts, it should say unavailable. If you are not eligible to buy it, it should not be there at all.

Yes. Anyone living in your home can get the discount pass. You can get up to 8 discounted passes.

I just bought our on the DVC members site. Just log in and click the news release block that talks about AP (see the screen shot)

Same here. Crash after crash just before checkout. Unable to buy the passes. Constantly at 504 Gateway Time-Out error.

I've been hitting check out, timing out and repeating for 18 minutes now.
At about 6:15 it started coming back with an error message telling me to remove all the items from my cart and try re-adding them. Not the best sounding omen, but it's telling me they're still available...

You are not alone. Exactly the same thing happening here. You'd think they'd be prepped for a bit of a rush, lol.

I'm in there with you. Same message.

How could they have known people would be interested?

Can’t finish the checkout either. I keep trying over and over. If Woody tries to complete my request one more time I’m going to put him in a headlock…..

Same but for variety I get a 502 Bad Gateway occasionally.

 

[PalmettoPath]

A couple of times I get all the way to order summary in the background (behind the popup), then the screen goes white and poof it's all gone.
