Can we buy our DVC discounted AP online? With the prices going up tomorrow, I was hoping to buy two more AP with the DVC discount, but I can't find the link to buy them online on the member services site. I can only find the FAQ section. Do I have to call it in?

I found a longer thread on the miscellaneous site and posted the question there. sorry for the double post.
 
yes you can buy it online. If you can't find the link on the dvc member page, go to the regular disney site and enter your user name and password that you use to access the DVC site. Then go to the tickets section. I just bought two APs that way about 5 minutes ago.

Our AP doesn't expire until September. If I buy another now it is a voucher I can activate later?
 

found the answer to my price question
 
Actually I called ms today you can do a renewal as long as you are either 30 days before or after it expires. It is not activated until you pick it up at guest relations.
 
I am trying to buy ours now, but I can't seem to get the dvc discount. I signed in, but it is still not reflected in the price. Of course, I cannot call anyone now...
 
Just purchased six passes. Go to Disneyworld.com. Go to tickets. Scroll down to the bottom to annual passes. Click that. The DVC option is toward the top of the page, like the second section. (Right above the $574.00 price) The site is really busy so go quick!
 
I have tried that for the past 30 minutes, and it only gives me the more expensive rate....

You will only have access to DVC pricing if your disneyworld.com profile has your DVC information as an 'Affiliation'.
 
Just went back in and looked again. It works for me. Don't quite understand what you are doing wrong............
 
OOh, weird, going through the dvcmember site does get you stuck at the page that links to the FAQ.

member extras>>
perks&discounts>>
tickets&tours>>
Save on Select Walt Disney World Annual Passes and Premium Annual Passes>>
page that links to FAQ and goes no further.


At disneyworld.com, even though I still use a different login (same email address, but on dvc I use a nickname, not the email), they somehow managed to work it out that my account should be linked to the dvc account. Nice of them. So when I sign in and go to mydisneyexperience, then to My Profile, then to About Me, I see my "affiliation" as DVC.

When I go to Parks&Tickets, and click on the Annual Passes link and choose the normal AP, 1 adult, I see:

Annual Pass
for Disney Vacation Club Members
1 x Ages 10+ ($425.00/pass)
$425.00
Tax
$27.63
Subtotal
$452.63 USD

...over to the right. Add to Cart, and get the same info.


One more thing to try would be to clear all cookies, cache, and history, then log in again. Check your profile on disneyworld.com, see if your DVC affiliation is there, see if it works for you.

If it doesn't, or the affiliation isn't there, I would think you're not going to be able to do this.



BUT. If you've ever read Cheshire_Figment's ticket information sticky thread on the Theme Parks page, you know that one can buy a ticket, even one from a discounter like undercovertourist.com, then hold on to it. When you're ready to renew once your pass expires, take it to the parks. Enter a park with it. After that (that day, the next day, etc, anytime while it's still a valid ticket), go to Guest Relations and upgrade it to the DVC AP. (Cheshire reminds us that it's not a DVC discount, but the DVC price...just a word thing, really, but it also goes along with their pricing charts)

As long as the CM does it by the book, the CM will first "bridge" the ticket to the current price of that ticket, and then charge the upgrade from that now-current-priced ticket to the DVC AP.

In that way, you keep your discount. If you buy a normal ticket now, even if (especially if) you buy from a ticket place where it's discounted from disney's prices already, you can still save that money, because the dollars between what you buy that ticket for now and what it would have cost at the time you are using it should not be charged you.

Make sense? If not, see his sticky thread. :)
 
Can you share? Trying to debate whether it's worth me rushing to buy one now.

Sorry didn't check back last night. I logged in to the regular Disney site, it recognized me as a member, and price was $425 + tax....haven't checked yet today.
 
How do I get the affiliation on my information? My accounts seem to be linked, by that I mean that my dvc reservations all show up on the mydisneyexperience site. Both sites have the same user name and password.
Thanks!

Ok tried to do the tickets without finding affiliation. It shows me the dvc pricing, which is now $464 plus tax (total of $494.16). FYI

To see the 'Affiliations', sign on to disneyworld.com and select 'My Profile' from the MDE drop down. Once the Profile page loads, select 'About Me'. At the bottom of that page are the 'Affiliations'. My 'Affiliations' are FL Resident, Passholder & DVC.
