Annual pass

[DVCMikey]

We are going to buy annual passes this september when we make our first trip with our baby.

I know previously we had to buy them at the service center in the main entrance of Epcot. Does anyone know if that is still where we have to buy them? if so, I guess the best bet would be to drive our car to epcot since we are staying at Boardwalk since we won't be able to walk through epcot to get there since we won't have our tickets yet lol

Once, when my credit card would not work, I bought one day passes, went in the park, called the credit card company and got that issue straightened out. I then upgraded my 1 day pass to an annual pass, getting credit against the annual cost for what I paid for the 1 day pass.

I guess you could do that or take a boat to HS and use guest services there if you arrive at your resort the day or night before your first park visit. You can buy at Guest Services at any park or at the one in Downtown Disney

I would think that you can buy them at the rear entrance to Epcot at the International Gateway. I think that we have exchanged our AP vouchers there but that was a few years ago.

Staying at BWV, you have the easiest access of all to Epcot via the International Gateway. Take either the boat outside BWV or just stroll over, it is about a 10 minute walk tops.

You can purchase all your park passes there including the AP's.

You can get your DVC annual pass at any theme park ticket window or guest relations window (including those at Downtown Disney). I usually do it at guest relations because we're typically buying a TIW card at the same time.

The guest relations window at the International Gateway is full service. They can do anything there that can be done at the front gate.

You can buy them at the International Gateway, I've done it many times, including last April. From what I understand, you can buy them at the resorts now.

 

[DVCismyhappyplace]

yup - head to the international gateway. You'll be able to get your APs there.

I've lived in Orlando for the last 17 years have have never come across this restriction. There was a brief period of time when the TiW card could only be purchased at Epcot Guest Relations.

The resorts no longer sell APs. There were too many problems with the ones that were being issued. You can now only get them at Theme Park Ticket Windows or Guest Relations Locations.

I thought you have to buy the annual passes at the front gate though for the DVC discount.

ok cool, wasn't sure if we could get the dvc discount at the international gateay.

I just returned this week. I bought my AP and TIW cards at the Guest Relations desk at Downtown Disney. Just make sure you have your DVC member card.

You can purchase your ticket online print the voucher and turn it in at the world showcase ticket booth. We did that two years ago so unless they have changed things it should work. I don't think you can get your discount at the WS ticket booth so you need the voucher and your dvc id

All Theme Park Ticket Windows and Guest Relations Locations can sell APs at the DVC Member Price. This includes the International Gateway at Epcot.

Good to know, figured they would eventually get it right. Do you know if you cam also get the ap renewal discount?

The International Gateway Ticket Windows & Guest Relations Location (as do all Ticket Windows and Guest Relation Locations) sell all APs options (Tourist/FL Resident/DVC Member at New and Renewal Rates).
