Annual Passes~ any place to get a better price? When do prices increase?

[HopingforAMiracle]

Hello~
I'm already planning a trip to Disneyworld in October 2006.

We decided we'll be getting annual passes, and returning within a year in 2007.

I see the prices that the Disneyworld website has posted. I know that, with the Park Hopper (now MMW) tickets, you can get a better price buying through other retailers (I bought my Hopper's for less through AAA).

Are there other places (other than directly through Disney) to buy the Annual Passes and get a better price/rate?

Since I'm not going until October 2006, but know that we're going, I'd like to buy the tickets before any price increases. I know the AP prices went up in January. Do they usually go up in January, or is there a significant chance they may go up before January (2006)? Just trying to figure out if I should buy the AP's now, or if I can wait until the end of the year.

Thanks!

There are no ticket brokers that sell the annual passes cheaper than Disney. I checked into it last year when I got mine. If you are a DVC member, Florida resident, Cast Member, or in the military you can purchase an ap at a discounted price.

I'm not sure if they only increase the prices in January or not...I'm fairly sure that there have been price increases that have occured at various times of the year. If you are worried about an increase I would purchase them as soon as you are able to...just remember where you put the vouchers!
