Annual Pass vs. AAA Discount ????????

[pdmeroc]

Looking for some help with an annual pass question.

Staying 13 nights at POR for AAA rate of $146/night.
Annual Pass rate for this time is $99/night.
Savings would be 13 x 47 = $611
Annual pass is $595.

It seems like it would be a no brainer to get the annual pass since park tickets would be included. I don't think these savings would be exactly this since the first three nights we (5 of us) are getting the dining plan, but it should more than make up the cost of one adult ticket for 10 days.

Am I missing something? Can you get the dining plan with the annual pass?

What should I do?

In order to get the dining, you have to purchase at least 1 day's admission (excluding the AP) in your pkg for each person on the DDP.... so you'd pay for the AP PLUS an extra $75+ per person for a 1 day ticket in order to get the DDP....

If you get the annual pass, have you thought about getting the DDE card? It will save you 20% off most (if not all) table service meals and some counter service places (Pop, All Stars).

You can trade in the MYW tickets associated with the ressie for full credit against your AP's so you actually don't have to spend the extra 75 per person for everyonejust for 1 person (have to have the AP at check-in) since there is no discount for buying AP's in advance you can just take your tickets and convert them to APs at any theme park or the DTD guest services office for everyone else

This same one person could get the DDE card (it covers up to 10 people at the DDE carholders table)
