Buying AP's with DC discount?

[palmtreegirl]

Hi all! We're leaving in a few days and are buying AP's for our trip.

Can we buy our AP's at WDW and still use our Disney Club card for the discount? Or is the discount only available when you order over the phone?

TIA!

You can get the discount over the phone or at the parks but not in TDS.

You can also get the Disney Club discount at The Disney Stores. I just did.

LOL palmtreegirl--I was at the right place at the right time.
CarolMN--I thought you couldnt get it with the discount there anymore I tried at our DS here and they said no.
But then again Im not suprised that some things happend at one DS but not another.

Maybe not all the Disney Stores carry the AP/PAP voucher cards. I was surprised to see that the voucher was now a plastic card that the CM scanned with the register after I paid. I did pay the DC price, but there is nothing on the exchange card itself that so indicates. I suppose the price paid is encoded onto the magnetic strip.

i recieved a mailing asking me to renew my AP before it old one expired at a discount of $35 per ticket. I had lit my disney club card expire, as i thought it could not be renewed. I decided to call on the last day and take a shot. They never even asked me for my card. They just renewed it at the discounted rate. Saved $160! that's a nice night at the California Grill!

I believe this is the standard renewal pricing. Just an extra incentive to get folks to renew the APs rather than let them lapse. Many folks get the APs every-other-year, and stagger annual trips to fit two under a pass (in other words, travel 3rd week of September one year and 2nd week of September next year so that both trips hit the same 365-day window under a single AP).
