New to Annual Passes - Question

[dweibel]

We are new to DVC and annual passes. We are planning on going to Disney World Dec 2008 and Nov 2009. So it seems like it would be a good idea to purchase a annual pass over this period. Can we pre-purchase an annual pass and have it activated on a future date like Dec. 1+, 2008? Second question, To receive our DVC discount on annual passes do we go thru DVC member services?

Yes and yes. You can also order thru the link on DVC member.com. They will send you an AP voucher which you can activate at any guest service locations at the parks or DTD.

You will be sent a voucher. Do not lose that voucher! Bring the voucher with you and you may activate it at any Guest Services location or really, any ticket window now.

Does anyone know off hand what the price is for an adult AP from the DVC website or member services?

 

[dopeygirl76]

The adult AP is $370.62 and child (3-9) is 326.96.

Hi,

You do not need to get the voucher from DVC member services. You can just go to Guest Relations at Downtown Disney and show you DVC membership card and receive the discount on the spot. When we called MS in December to get our voucher before going, MS told us we don't need the voucher we can just go to Guest Relations. It worked perfectly.

But the OP is not going to WDW for 9 months. It would be best for them to buy the voucher now and avoid any possible price increase before they travel. Disney last raised prices in Aug 2007.

I purchased my AP thru MS a couple weeks ago. The rep tried to talk me out of buying it so early (going in August) and said I could get the member rate at any guest services window. When I said "I want to buy it now in case the price goes up" he told me very emphatically "the price isn't going to go up". Hmmm now how does he know that for sure???? And why was he so adamently trying to get me to wait??? I had to be rather persistant with him! He finally gave in and put the sale through. Not to worry about losing for forgetting my vouchers: I just put my APs in a safe place with my other Disney trip items!
