Best Price on a DVC AP

[Hollymom1229]

Tomorrow I'm going to order our tickets from Undercover Tourist with the additional Mousesavers Discount. When DH and I get there we will upgrade the tickets to DVC APs. Does anyone know the best pass to buy with this for the deepest discount? Thanks for the help in advance.

For the deepest discount, we used our GAD certificate. Two annual passes cost us $660.30 (purchased Feb '10). They also run "special's" where you can renew your AP and receive an additional 3 months.

I would just click through the mousesavers email (I assume from last month's email? since this month's isn't out yet) to their site, and check which ticket had the biggest discount.

I personally would go with the biggest discount that is still under the cost of the DVC AP (don't forget to include tax with the AP cost!). Others have said that there are some discounts that are SO good that even if it's over the cost of the DVC AP and even if they follow their policy of no refunds of what you paid over the AP cost, the discount is still better than buying a lower cost ticket. I wouldn't do that, too nervous, but others have!

Here are my calculations, based on the latest UT prices with the Mousesavers discount:


For Children :

Ticket Savings

MYW - 6-day $13.29
MYW - 7 day $18.61
MYW - 8 day $20.94
MYW - 10 day $17.59


MYW - 5 day - No Exp. $16.14
MYW - 6 day - No Exp. $17.18
MYW - 7 day - No Exp. $12.45
MYW - 8 day - No Exp. $-
MYW - 10 day - No Exp. $-

Park Hopper - 5 day $13.47
Park Hopper - 6 day $18.80
Park Hopper - 7 day $21.12
Park Hopper - 8 day $15.45
Park Hopper - 10 day $18.10

Park Hopper - 5 day - no exp. $20.45
Park Hopper - 6 day - no exp. $9.45
Park Hopper - 7 day - no exp. $-
Park Hopper - 8 day - no exp. $-

My calcs show that the 7-day Park Hopper is the best for an child. It will provide the biggest discount that you can get off of a DVC AP, after you upgrade.
