I'm new to the boards and I'm so happy to have found this.
I read somewhere if you order your passes ahead of time, they are a little cheaper? Is that the case even with DVC members? This is only my third year, so if I seem "goofy" that's why.
It depends on the type of pass. If it is an annual pass with DVC discount it makes no difference if you order it early or not. For MYW tickets, there is no DVC discount, so if you can find them cheaper by ordering them early, go for it.
