Buying an AP

[Claudia1]

Our AP's expired last winter and we didn't renew them. The renewal discount was not good enough to cover the 6 months that we would not be using them

My question: Should I buy our new ones in adbance of our trip or just wait until we get there since we have to go to Guest Relations anyway to turn in the vouchers? We still have an active Disney Club card and will be using the discount.

I infer from your post that your next trip should be very soon. That being the case, I would just purchase them at WDW.

The only advantages to buying it ahead of time would be locking in the price and/or prepaying the cost of the AP. Prices just went up so there is little chance of another increase before you go and prepaying doesn't seem to be an issue with you.

A thought just crossed my mind, and I'm sure you know this since you are a Disney Club Member, but if you want to receive the Disney Club discount, you'll need to purchase the AP's by the end of this year. The Disney Club ends at the end of Dec. 2003.

Yes, we are going at the end of July. It didn't seem like a time-savings to do it in advance. I just wanted to be sure that I could get my DC discount there.

I will miss the Disney Club next year!

Where can you purchase APs with DC? Do you have to purchase them in advance? Annmarie

You can get them at the Disney Store or call Disney directly to have them mailed to you.

No you don't have to purchase them in advance. AP/PAP's are the only WDW ticket media where you can still get your DC discount when you purchase the pass at WDW.

Thanks GoldenOldie! I am hoping to purchase one or more with my next quarterly bonus. I don't know how much it will be yet but I'm hoping it will be enough to purchase at least one! Annmarie
