DVC discount on PREMIER pass

[nyck]

Do we get a DVC discount on the PREMIER pass? This is the one that is good at both Disneyland and WDW both. I think the normal price in $849. Thanks!!!

I wish, but no. They feel that there is enough of a discount already.

At $849, the break even for me would be about 15-20 days use and that is a lot.

We live about 15 minutes from Disneyland, on average we will go 4-7 days a month.

So, even on the low end, that is 48, more than pays for our pass.Granted some days we only go for a few hours, but that is an advantage of having a pass and living so close.

Our premium pass cost us $479, that would mean a difference of $374. At current prices, that means about an 8 day pass to Disney World (remember its the equivalent of adding water park, fun and more option as well as park hopper) to break even without accounting for any discounts such as free parking, etc.

Now, the new price for premium passes are $649, which means the difference would only be $200 for the premier, so the break even point would be even fewer days.

I think the premier pass is only for a limited number of people who live near either Disneyland or Disney World that normally would get a premium pass, but that likes to spend at least a week at the other resort.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I mainly go to WDW every 6 months for about a week each time so I usually just get the WDW regular annual pass. Since I forgot to renew it, a new one costs $449.

I am also going to Disneyland this year and a 3 day park hopper is $250. I will probably go there twice this year. So between the WDW annual pass and 2 3 day park hoppers I am pretty close to the $849 (plus tax) for a Premier, plus I would get the water parks. So that is my debate on whether to get it or not. I think just for this year I will just because I am traveling alot between the 2.

I debated that too. I went to WDW in April, going to DL in September. Then I am planning to go to D23 next August (2013), which means the premier would be expired if I bought it in April. So I bought a WDW AP in April, I'm hoping to get one more use out of it before next April. I had planned to go in October but I am buying a townhouse and will need to time off from work to move. I don't want to miss DL in September and I already have plane tickets so I bought a Deluxe AP before the increase that I will activate then and it will still be good next August.

With those travels plans, I'd do it. Remember all the discounts at Disneyland! food and merchandise discounts add up!
