Annual Passholder Discount

[Disney/Universal Fan]

I remember the 35% AP discount last year. I was disappointed because I couldn't take advantage of it since it was in between my November and December trips. Of course, I did get to take advantage of the 50% off sale they had before Christmas in all the parks. It was on Christmas decorations and t-shirts. Now that was a sale. I bought quite a bit.

Sine we live in Florida, I was also able to go up for that sale! Bought some decorations (That discount put the price down where it should be! haha
Anyhow, be prepared for responses that tell you that since they didn's hear about the sale, that you must be confused and it didn't exist. Or maybe they will be upset they couldn;t take advantage of it, they give you a spelling grade on your post.

Just found it! The notice came on a passholder email with a pin code attached for rooms at the Values last year. The exclusive AP discount was between the hours of 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. on 11/18-11/20/08 at the World of Disney. There were other select dates in November last year you could get the discount also, when you booked your Value room for those dates. I knew I had it somewhere.

Sorry about leaving the "d" from the word "card". Actually, it was a pin code for passholders, there was a 35% discount, I was able to take advantage of it and save a lot of money on Christmas shopping.
Just hoping to do it again this year. I was just a little put off by the fact that everyone thought I was mistaken. But, again, I was glad I saved so much money! I was going to buy "Disney" gifts for everyone anyhow, and I was able to do so with a great savings, and just think, I was able to do so, even though I mispell things every now and then!

Actually,you told us we were wrong,when we really weren't. Anyway,once you told us what the discount was,I remembered getting the email too,but I wasn't able to take advantage of the sale. I did,however,buy 3 T-shirts and 2 Christmas ornaments when they were 40%(shirts) and 50%(ornaments)off.
