Annual Pass Question

[lin7]

We are planning a trip and just bought annual pass on disney's website with our dvc discount. I have a few question. We're doing a split stay, and booking the first portion at a disney resort and the second at a dvc resort. I have read on this board that if your an annual pass holder that you don't need to book tickets to add the dining plan for the disney resort. When we call in, do we tell them that we are annual pass holders?

We will be picking up the tickets at guest service at the park the arrival day. Would we be consider annual pass holders if we don't get the tickets until arrival day? Do they need proof at check in, do I have to go pick up the tickets first? I am not booking an annual pass rate, but booking the promotion disney have on right now for spring, I just want to make sure I can just add dining without getting tickets. I am not sure if I am making any sense, hope someone understands what I am saying. Thanks for your help in advance

You need to call DRO and tell them you want an Annual Passholder room only with Dining Package. At Mousesavers, Mary suggests using a travel agent to book this. The DVC part shouldn't be hard -- call MS and add your package. You'll have to pay for it when you add it to the DVC reservation.

What you want is an AP "ticketless" package. If you have booked the Disney stay using a general public discount or a pin code discount, I don't believe you can get the "ticketless" package.

I think the only way to do that is to be staying using an AP discount or paying rack rate.

Good luck!
