DVC Annual Park Pass

[lovetotravel07]

Are there any special benefits you receive by buying the DVC annual pass? I.E. special viewing for parades, etc.??

The DVC AP is no different from the regular AP, except you get a discount in purchase price. The regular AP has a number of percs, 10% off at the big Disney store in DD, some restaurant discounts that actually include some in the parks, at least for lunch, often AP viewing areas for a parade (but note those fill to first come first served), sometimes just designated AP only meeting areas in a park (such as one of the AK seating and bench pavilions off the beaten track), where you can drinks and sometimes kids crafts, 30% off regular price for any of the golf courses (and unlike DVC discount, you can get early morning, before 10 times), free parking at the parks when you are not staying on Disney property.

So, sometimes there are specially blocked off annual pass sections for the parade. Is there a way to find out where they are or they are marked somehow and you just show your pass and get in.

Mainly interested in MK.

I thought AP holders could reserve to watch Christmas parade taping, and also they were offered viewings at soft openings of new attractions,like the Nemo ride in Epcot and also upcoming Toy Story Mania.
