AP Question

[DisneyBoundMomof3]

Waiting for our closing for DVC. Planning for upcoming trips, in January, May and maybe October for Halloween. I'm thinking the AP, would be my best purchase, I'm just not clear, with us buying resale, do we qualify for discounts for the pass, also can we do the monthly payment plan?

Payment plan is for Florida residents only.

Ohh, ok thanks. But I figure still with the trips I'm planning it's better to do the pass.

I don't think resale qualifies for the gold pass - the platinum AP might be your only option.

With only a resale purchase, after April of 2016, you do not qualify for DVC discounted APs, or most other bennies. If you add on a small, 25 points direct contract you can get all DVC bennies, as long as they exist. All the bennies could just disappear for all owners if DVD decided to do away with them.

Nope - as a new resale buyer the access to the Gold AP and discounts from any other AP's are not available. You can of course still purchase an AP and that likely is going to be the way to go for that many trips anyway but you'll just have to compare the cost of AP vs the tickets you would be buying for each trip.

If you have the flexibility to work your trips around the blackout dates, then the Gold Pass is a great way to go. But in your case, I would suggest getting the Platinum Passes for the first year and enjoy your purchase. You can do a small direct add-on any time to get access to the "Membership Extras" including the AP discounts. After the first year, you will have a better feel for what you need. You may decide you want larger accommodations, a different resort, etc. No need to rush.
