Anyone know if Costco Annual Passes still available?

[disneyfifs]

Hi, I'm hoping it's not too late to get an Annual Pass from Costco with the $50 gift card. This is the first time that I will be in the area since I found out that they were available. Has anyone seen these around still? If so, could you please let me know which Costco you saw them at. I have my fingers and toes crossed. Thank you so much!http://www.disboards.com/images/editor/smilie.gif

I dont think they have them right now. They were supposed to end on the 23rd of august. We went a few days ago and didn't see them, but we weren't looking for them either. I am hoping they have another one soon but right now...I dont believe they have that offer.

Shucks! Oh well, thank you for responding!

For the past few years Costco has released the vouchers for 3 months at a time. After the expiration date is reached Costco has released new ones with an expiration date 3 months later. I would expect them to have the new ones soon if not already. The one on Harbor blvd. north of Disneyland tends to have the biggest stock. Garden Grove would be my next choice.

In months past I have found them at almost all southern California Costco's. People have reported them available at some central California Costco's as well. Best bet is to call one of the Costco's. They can look up stock for any other Costco you want.

I do not live in California. 2 weeks ago my neice was there visiting family and I called around the Costcos near her. Most were out but they did check for me and told me the Burbank Costco had 35 left so I sent my neice over to pick up the 6 I needed. When she got there they insisted they only had 4 left so she bought the 4 but I am still 2 short. Don't totally count on what you are told on the phone. All other Costcos she tried were out. I guess 4 is better than 0 though!

I found an alternative to Costco AP deal but not sure if it's still available. Last month we bought park hopper passes at our hotel. They had the 5 days for the price of 3. I think it was $150 per person. Disneyland then credited the full gate price for a 5 day pass. The result was we were able to upgrade for $80 to a Deluxe AP. Total cost was then $230 which is $11 more than Costco ($269-$50) but still a good deal. Check with your hotel on this.

Be advised that this is not normal, DLR has the ability to see what you actually paid for your hoppers and they normally credit you what you actually paid, not the full "value" of your tickets. Just an FYI.

That is true from our experience in the past. However, those passes were always bought at DLR gates and not from a 3rd party such as a hotel. I don't believe DLR has a method to know how much a 3rd party charged us for the passes and thus credits the gate price.

We may have gotten lucky so would like to hear from others who have done this.

Nope, our first, no sorry it was our second trip we had our package booked thru a 3rd party and they did know what we paid for them. That was in 2007.

Wow, I'll be doing some research to find out more info on the different options. If I find a good deal or any Costco AP's I'll be sure to post it. Thank you all for the information and opinions. It's much appreciated!

I was in the Fountain Valley Costco last weekend and they still had the APs. Call first! Fountain Valley not that far - 30 min or so.

 

[disneyfifs]

WooHoo!!! Thank you so much!

Went to that Fountain Valley costco again yesterday - they're all gone.
Sorry.
I bought mine the day they announced the price increase even though they don't expire till the end of this month.

Hi, I believe the city is called Fullerton? It neighbors Anaheim, it's where the nearest Character Warehouse store is from Disneyland. There's a Costco in that same shopping area neighborhood, just wondering if anyone has seen the Deluxe AP passes at that location? We saw them there on our last trip in July, we were thinking about buying them for our trip in Sept. I can call and find out too.
