Annual Passholder Sale

[mytripsandraces]

Hi all,

Last year there was an annual passholder sale in July, with deeply discounted prices on a lot of items. Does anyone know if they're doing the sale again this year? Is it an annual event?

Thanks!

Wow, I can't believe that in all the years that we've had APs that we will actually be in WDW for an AP event.

I'm excited. Now to figure out how to get there at 6:30 without a car.

Thanks! Now, I just have to figure out how to get to one of the parks that day. I was able to go last year and it was amazing! My sister was reluctant to go, but she bought even more than I did!

What kind of stuff did they have 75% off? If you tell me vinylmations I'm driving down just for that!

I would also like to know this! I travel for work, so I could fly down there for the day for free...just wondering if it will be worth it?!

Last year, I think I was able to get a case of Vinylmations for 60% off. My SIL and I split it. We got in line at around 5am and there were not many VM left by then. Definitely something to immediately go to when you get in the store.

Anyone know if they're having it in DL? I think they did last year at the same time.

You'd have to come down the night before. The sale is usually before opening hours and ends when the store opens. I got some pins for my nieces and nephews to trade, plus some nice clothes. My sister bought suitcases for $10!

Yeah when I first said that I was reading the times as being in the PM...then I realized it is AM! Even still, I could definitely swing it thanks to work travel...and I could stock up on things for the family that would be great! My sister is doing the College Program this fall so we have 3 trips planned for while she'll be there!

My husband is thinking of sending me down by myself just for this sale. Hmm after reading this it sounds even more enticing to go!!

It's from 6:30 to 9:00 AM. Is it also at the DL WOD store? My Backstage Pass just says WOD store.

I just posted a similar question...was wondering what types of thins they had...and if it was worth it to go...

We are staying at SSR so I can walk...what time do people start to "line up"?

SO excited....
Costumes on sale too???

 

[Jenny-momof3]

Ugh! We check out July 10th! And no way can I talk my DH into driving 2,000 miles round trip for a 1 day sale!

 

[pklein09]

We don't check in until the 29th...darn! Have fun to those of you who can make it!

 

[mytripsandraces]

Has anyone done this in Orlando? Is there transportation from the hotels or would I need to take a taxi (or stay off property )?

Last year we were staying at SSR so we walked, I think we got there at about 5 and the line was already around the building.

 

[cmusschoot]

It is our first fill day there...might be a REALLY early morning for me...worth it??

We have passed on this sale a few times, but my friends have gone and said the line is long at 4:30AM (when they got in it). They said they got some good buys. We just got home last weekend and not due back until mid-August.

Any more info on what's included in the sale? That's our last day there - I actually pick dh up at the airport at 10:30 to head south - what great timing!

I'm glad that I hit search and found this thread, because I've been in a heavy debate with myself about upgrading my DL 5 day hopper pass to an AP. This will be my second time to DL in 5 yrs, and I'm not sure when I would be back (although I love it there, its the flights etc). We are going from Jul 19 - 26th this year. When I noticed the sale ad at World of Disney in DL I am very tempted to upgrade if the sale is worth it. I've got teen daughters and nephews/nieces so was thinking it would be nice to pick up some cheaper souvenirs there. The upgrade I believe would be about $140. Can anyone tell me if it would be worth it to upgrade, and more examples of the types of deals to be found? Thanks so much!!!
