Holy Bankrupt Batman FL AP's are expensive!

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

This weeks show could not be more appropriate with the rising costs of AP's. My husband and I bought AP's (Premium) with the 10% off for referral and it came out to $1322 for 2A and 1C. That is alot of money. My husband said I think we will be exploring other types of passes next year. So my question is what is the best pass to buy as a resident. Just the AP or the seasonal pass. I know we will not get the premium passes again.

How much is the dining discount pass tables in Wonderland??

I feel your pain. We just purchased 3 premium AP's a couple of weeks ago. We had the DVC discount plus the referral. Wow, what a hit that took on the wallet.

My fiance and I just purchase the regular annual pass. We don't need the premium because we only go to a water park about once a year and the seasonal has too many blackout dates for when we want to go. Our renewal price is around $690 dollars after tax which is a little pricey but we go so much we get our moneys worth.

I buy the regular AP and get the Water park AP at a separate time. I more than get my money back.

I have the Seasonal Pass this year for the first time in many years as I knew I would force myself to go more often.

In other past years, I wouldn't go all that often, so I'd buy a 10 Day Park Hopper with no expiration.

What you need to buy depends on your visiting habits. Remember, you can buy a lower priced pass and always upgrade later if you need to.

If you buy a seasonal pass - I think you have to pay for parking. That $12 per visit would add up pretty quickly!

When purchasing passes this past year, we bought 1 Adult annual pass and the rest were seasonal passes (1A, 2C) We never go during the blackout dates anyway since the crowds are usually higher. The only reason I purchased 1 Annual pass was for the free parking.

How do you get a 10% referral?

Can it be used with a DVC discount and renew discount?

Great question! Alsol what's the renewal discount? Thanks.

The referral was a promotion they sent out to all existing passholders this year. It was a card to pass along to friends and such that would give them a 10% discount on a new annual pass. It was not good for renewals.

Was it good with the DVC discount? I didn't know you could get the 10% with the Florida resident AP.

The referral cards are can be combined with the DVC discount; however, you must purchase a new AP, you can't use it for an AP renewal.

Thanks. I didn't realize that and I didn't even consider looking for the 10% off coupon from someone.

Who am I kind? I wouldn't have talked DH into a AP anyway.

The referral cards have to be used by TOMORROW - July 31st.

We bought the regular FL Res AP with the 10% referral card two weeks ago and it was just under $1000 (2A, 1C)...I knew we would never get our money's worth with a premium and I wanted to be able to go when I wanted to and didn't like the blackout dates of the seasonal

Just to add to your post...TIW is $100 for Fl residents, $75 for Ap holders...I bought my TIW card the week that we moved here to FL and since we weren't AP yet it cost $100...the CM asked if I wanted to wait until we got our AP's since I told her we planned on getting them but I knew it was going to be about 2 months before we got our AP's and we had Kona reservations for that night for group of us so I just paid the extra $25 bucks...I've had it about for a little under 2 months and it's already half paid for itself

Also, 7/31/09 was the expiration date.

I never received anything...but that's not unusual with Disney.

Just wait until you renew next year. It doesn't get any easier when you have to pay all at once.

We had to pay all at once this time?? I didnt know there was another option. But the discounts we have just found on golf alone make it worth it for my DH. Now he is not balking so much.

They raised the price for AP holders? That sucks... it used to be cheaper than residents.
