Purchasing an annual pass with Dvc discount?

[jlk806]

Where do we purchase the annual pass with the DVC discount? At Walt Disney World? Also, does our child receive the DVC price also, though he doesnt have a DVC membership card like DH & I do.

The AP may be purchased at any Guest Relations desk at WDW. There is at least one at every Theme Park and also at DD. Be sure to have photo ID and DVC Membership card. The DVC pricing will apply to any family member living at the same address with you.

You can also purchase a voucher thru DVC MS and then exchange that for the actual AP at Guest Relations (again, the photo id and DVC card will be needed).

Enjoy!

You can purchase DVC discount APs for anyone living at the same address as the member. If you purchase on line you will be given a " will call" number. Pick up your APs at guest services. We purchased at the concierge desk at BWVs.

We purchased ours at the concierge desk at the Contemporary.

1. You can purchase (or pick up a will-call reservation) at any Park ticket or Guest Relations window. This includes water parks, TTC, DTD and Epcot International Gateway.

2. There is no such thing as a DVC Member Discount for APs (no matter what Member Services says). DVC Member and Florida Resident APs are the same price, and lower then "tourist".

By that I just mean the price that is advertised on DVC member site. Whether its the same as a Florida resident rate doesnt matter as long as I get that price and not the full price!

Not to hijack but we have 3day adult tickets that we were going to add days to but have now decided to upgrade to a pass, we can upgrade a 3day to DVC annual pass, right? Do we need to use it first as we would when adding days?

The cards we have are the new hard rfid plastic cards not the old tyvek ones.

I knew the same address part....but how does that work for children? I never thought of it, but most don't have photo ID!

My children who were under 18 did not have to show any proof when I have bought them AP's.

Only adults (ages 18 +) need to show a photo id.

I have a Premium Annual Pass that I purchased with the discount we were offered last year. I am going to renew but just want to renew with a basic annual pass. Will I still get the renewal rate?

Will I still get the renewal rate?

From Post 15-G in the Everything About WDW Tickets sticky thread:

G. What are the rules for Renewal Annual Passes (and what About Renewal Vouchers)?

To renew any sort of Annual Pass it must be done within 30 days of either side of the expiration date. Note that upgrading or downgrading of any annual product may be done at the special renewal rate.

Normally this is done at any park (including water park or TTC) ticket booth or any Guest Relations Office (including DTD). It cannot be done at a Resort.

If you renew prior to the expiration date, the new pass will not be valid until the expiration date of the old pass. If you renew after the expiration date the effective date will be backdated. If you do an upgrade at renewal time, and the renewal/upgrade is prior to the expiration date of the old Pass, the new Pass will not be effective until the old one expires. In any event, using the renewal rate will have the new pass expire on the same date the next year. (See Post #19 for the expired special 15 month promotion.)

If you have a MYW ticket you may upgrade that ticket to a WSP, SP, AP or PAP at the renewal rate just as any other upgrade as long as you are within the renewal window. The rules for expiration date stay the same as any other renewal.

Note that, by definition, an Renewal of a Pass can only be done at a WDW Ticket Window or Guest Relations Office.

If you are not at WDW you get a voucher at the renewal rate sent to you. However, this can be a multi-edged sword.

If you renew within one year after the expiration date of your current pass it will be just the same as if you renewed at WDW with the expiration date one year from the date of the old pass. If you will be activating the voucher more than a month or two away you might find that it would have been better to pay the full price and have the anniversary date changed.

While a voucher for purchase of an AP is valid forever and may be exchanged without penalty after several years the rules for a renewal are different.

As stated above, with a renewal voucher used within a year from expiration it will not change the expiration date. However, if it is used more than a year from the expiration date the value will only be what you paid for the voucher toward the current gate price of a new AP. so you will have to pay more on redemption.
