Do You Buy An Annual Pass To Save Money?

[seashoreCM]

No I don't save money with an annual pass. Any savings I do get is spent going down again and again and again.

Oh yes you do save money compared with buying other kinds of admission tickets for that many days in the parks. The more you go the more you save.

Anybody and everybody buying an AP intends to save money by doing so, although a few people do not succeed because they have to cancel that second trip during the year.

Thanks for all the tips. I COULD actually see myself wanting to take another trip. The only problem is that we are going in December, and I refuse to go when it's busy. So, I would basically have to go in Jan, Feb. or Sept (which scares me). So, I'm not sure another trip would even work for me.

We've always used codes when we've stayed, and I've yet to see any this year. We are staying at a moderate.

We buy annual passes and what we do is go in the beginning of December for MVMCP and then go again the following October for MNSSHP and get two trips out of our APs. Last year I got three trips out of it! I convinced DH that we could take an end of August "girls only" (no daddy) trip to see how hot (and crowded) it really is and it won't cost much (DVC/APs) since we won't have hime along to eat!!

So it's definitely worth it to us with the discounts it provides (DDE card, free parking, 10% on souvenirs at the WOD store, etc...) and to try and fit in as many trips as I can convince my DH to do!!

I'm buying them again for this December's trip and hoping to go to WDW next August and October again!! Hopefully anyway!

My post was sarcastic humor. Of course I save money, which makes it easier to spend more

Now that is just not very nice of you I would love to go in October. We've been over everyone's birthday except DD whose birthday is in October.

We are stuck when we can take vacations since DH teaches college.

However if you are not AP are great.

If you go in Dec this year lets say the 13 to 20th you can go next year Dec 6 to the 12th or something like that. 2 trips just with in the 12 months. That really does save money.
