DVC Member Pass Discounts?

[Orky15]

Just got the xmas bonus that will let us pay the whole thing at once, so we will probably make the decision tonight to join!

We are also planning a brief trip for a weekend in January, and wondered if DVC members do get any discounts on park tickets. If so, how much?

We were thinking of just going and enjoying the resort, going to the parks for only a day, rather than getting an unlimited pass for the days we'll be there.



Very excited!!

Wow - that was quite a large Christmas bonus! Do you get that every year?

I wish it was mine! It's my fiance's... he's a network consultant. He claims it doubles every year, but after this years, I can't see that happening, as it would not be very financially sound for any business. He earned every penny though... workaholic.... <sigh>

But hey, anything that enables Disney is a good thing, right?

Ultimate Park Hopper Pass is the only DVC admissions discount (unless you count the ludicrous multi-year pass).

Sounds like you'll want a hopper pass of some sort.

Disney Club has a small discount on those....no discount for DVC members though!

We buy the DC membership mostly for this reason....it's not hard to get the $29 annual membership back in discounts.

What is a multi-year pass???

This is only for DVC members
The Magical Years Pass was announced in the Winter 2000 VM. For 4 of the next 5 years you get 5 days per year admission to the 4 major parks and flexibility to visit 2 other options per year. The options are PI, a choice among the water parks or the WWofSports. You also get $10 off one adult admission or $5 off a child's admission to DQ, 50% off one round of mini-golf and 10% off merchandise at the water parks. The cost -- $749 per adult or child. I've yet to hear of anyone who purchased the pass although some folks thought it might work for them.
