DVC Premium Pass Deal for 2013

[KAT4DISNEY]

I've been giving a lot of thought to this lately...

What if they offered a 30 day premium ticket for $399

You had 30 days to use....but 365 days from the day of activation to use all of the days.... what do you think?

Would you pay $399 for that?

A $399 PAP for a Florida Resident DVC member... but for families that live 1,000+ miles away.... a PAP really isn't the BEST ticket fit.

If they are not going to offer the $399 PAP, I think the 30 day Premium Pass ticket would be a GREAT compromise.

If they REALLY want DVC to pay off for Disney Parks - they are really going to have to focus on keeping families returning to the parks, year after year, multiple times a year, for extended vacations.

DVC wins.... sells more points....

Disney wins... sells more.....everything...

Also... would you pay for a Disney rewards program? (Other than Disney Visa Rewards)...

I think Disney needs to think outside the box and innovate more when it comes to keeping DVC interesting and exciting for members - adding new and attractive benefits that keep members invested...especially as Dues increase!

I am not understanding your 30 day pass - it sounds like the same concept as an AP except being limited to 30 days instead of say 31 or 35 or 45 and no discount perks.

BUT...Why limit myself to 30 days if my PAP for the same price can get me more annual days?

Of course a PAP would be superior to a 30 day pass if they are the same price; my comment was made assuming we will not see the $399 PAP again. We bought the $399 PAPs, but I don't see us ever paying for five PAPs even at the reduced DVC price. I would love to see the $399 PAP special again - that was a great deal! Although we will never have more than 30 park admissions a year so long as we have kids' school and sports schedules to deal with, so a less expensive pass that is fewer days but spread over a year would appeal to me.

a 30 day, 1 year, reduced price pass might work for us (i usually get at least 36-46 days out of an AP), but i don't see it being as beneficial for DVC/WDW as the PAP was.
quite a few people booked an additional vacation(s), and/or stayed longer, went to the parks more (spending more on dining, souvies, etc), finally tried the water parks, etc because they bought the DVC PAP.
i would think that DVC and WDW would want to see some possible benefit for their entities before offering a "special pass/price" - 30 days might actually reduce some vacation stays.

interesting suggestion tho

I really hope that they offer the discount again. I bought that pass last year ( I didnt know I could buy another one that would keep me going till 2014... ) and I planned a lot of my vacation around the pass. Im going on the Dream in about a month (planned that before the pass expired so I can have some park time before and after) and me and my mother decided to squeeze in one more trip in October for Food & Wine before my pass expires October 15th. Part of me wants them to offer it again (hello more weekend trips to see the Mouse) but the airfare is killing me...
