I know about the room discounts with an AP and some food discounts, but are there any other benefits with the pass? There used to be some annual pass lounges at some or all of the parks. Are they still there? Anything else that I should know about?

Thanks, T&B
 
Hi,
They dont have the lounges anymore that I know of. :(
There are discounts on the tours and I think you can get a discount on circ de soli and I also think on Mini golf. Im not sure though. Themeparks.com use to have the monitor on there site that gave all the perks. I dont know if it is still there. Ill go check.


yes here is the link... http://www.themeparks.com/wdw/monitor1103.htm

This should give you all the info you may need.
Hope it helped.

Thanks for all the info. Since I won't be activating my pass until I am there next month I won't get my Mickey Monitor Newsletter until after that visit. Is there anything in it that applies to early February? I'll be there Feb 6-13. Any passholder get-togethers?

T&B
 

Oops, I didn't see the link for the monitor before writing my last post. I'll take a look at it. Thanks! Do they usually come out before the month they are for? IE, for February, should I look online for the latest monitor before my 2/6 visit, or is it sometime during Feb that it comes out?

Thanks, T&B
 
I think the biggest benifit comes if you can squeeze a second trip into your passes before the year is up. That is how we always plan our trips so that the second time we go, the only thing we are paying for is the room, food and transportation.

I would most definitely check the Monitor before you go; we have had APs since this May and believe we may have recieved only one Monitor - just dawned on me!!! But we are always on these forums so we know we get the most up to date info on all kinds of discounts - have fun!!
 
It's those return trips that really get me. lol We had a WDW annual pass for one year and our plan was to return once as a family before it expired. We did that and I also went down with my husband on a business trip and met my sister down there before the pass expired. Boy did I get my monies worth and boy did WDW get my money. ;)

It was fun, though. This time only my 4yo and I are getting the passes. When my whole family goes next year they'll just get hoppers.

Looks like the Monitor should be updated soon since the activities listed were only through January. I'll check it online before my trip.
