New DVC member here, so new we have not used points to stay yet. Our current plan has our points banked for next year, but we're looking to visit WDW this year anyway ( want all 2 years points available next year) so we'll be booking a trip paying cash rather than DVC points.
So, we are planning to purchase our Annual Passes tomorrow when the special DVC deal begins, and it has me wondering the best way to book my cash trip.
Since DVC members and AP holders get various discounts on things, what order should I do the following:
Purchase AP
Book stay at resort
Purchase dining plan
Do AP holders get discounts on cash paid resort visits? Who gets a better deal on dining? When I purchase the AP I know it does not get activated until I first use it at the park, but can I use it before that for any applicable discounts on stays or dining ( assuming its a better discount than my DVC membership if there is any)?
I'm not the type of person who gets easily confused, but this is quite an intermingled web
