We are currently at WDW. I picked up the 2005 AP passholder sleeve today.
The CM said they just received them today.

Here are the differences that I noticed.

At the beginning there is a note saying
To enjoy any of the 2005 benefits listed in the pass sleeve, you must present your valid pass at the time of purhase, booking and or redemption of any offer.

What looks different here to me is that it says at the time of booking. I am wondering if you will have to have a valid AP to book rooms using the AP discount?

Also it says 25 dollars off the Disney Dining experience. I was under the impression that you had to be a Florida resident to use the Disney Dining Experience before???

The last thing I noticed was a 10 percent discount at Ghiradelli.

Not sure if there is anyting else.

I will look it over more carefully .

Hope this helps
 
I just also read that the prices went up on Jan 1st?

What is the Disney Dining Experience? I'm making a solo trip to WDW in May and would love to have everything, including meals, prepaid.
 

Is there still 10% off at World of Disney and a discount at mini golf?
 
Wow, I wonder if there is 2 different sleeves for Florida residents vs non-florida residents. Otherwise why would they put the DDE information on the sleeve? I think I might just call the AP line and say okay I want the DDE card with the 25 off you advertised on the sleeve?
 
Oh, I hope all AP holders are able to buy the DDE card!

what is $25 off the dining experience??
 
Oh that's cool! 25% off day of Christmas Party!!

That's better than the advance purchase discount!

It is true, AP holders can get the DDE (20% off Breakfast Lunch and Dinner and most full service restaurants - Holiday blackout dates apply) for $50. I just ordered mine. :)

But only on the day of the party. You take a chance it could be soldout.
 
Is the DDE card good for a calendar year or does it work like an AP and is valid for 365 days after activation?
 
I am assuming it is good for 1 year from the day you order it. Although I'm not planning on going until June, I will still get 2 trips out of the card (June and December) The lady on the phone says it takes 4 to 6 weeks to get the cards in the mail...but she can fax or email a confirmation if you need it sooner.
 
Thanks Chuck! Any idea if this can be purchased in person upon arrival? My problem is that I have two trips planned and the second trip is going to end 52 weeks after my first one begins. So if I do purchase this card in advance it will expire before I can use it for the 2nd trip. If, however, I can purchase it in person upon arrival on my first trip I will not have that problem.

Thanks!
 
I don't think you can get it in person...maybe a FL resident can post for sure. To my knowledge it always had to be ordered.

Perhaps you can call the day you get to the resort, and they can fax a confirmation?
 
I think you may be able to go to Guest Services to fill out the application... I'd call DDE & ask directly... my memory fails me on this one, I know they have the applications, but I don't know if your copy of the ap. can act as the discount that day....
 
You cannot order it on property. You have to do it over the phone and then they mail the cards to you. If you do it on short notice SOMETIMES they will fax you a confirmation sheet that usually the restaurants will take.
