Purchasing DVC Annual Pass for My Partner

[WDWCP99]

Does anyone know if Disney will allow me to use my DVC Membership to purchase discounted Annual Pass for my partner? He is not on the deed to the property with me. Thanks for any advice!

Only if your partner lives in the same house as you, the address listed on the ownership. Your partner will need to show ID that their address is the same as yours.

This is one of the subjects that kind of got me disappointed with DVC.

If you bought like 200 points, and you have room mates living with you at the same address you can get like up to 8 passes I believe per year at the DVC discount. They have to have a Photo state ID or Motor Vehicle License with your address. In my state, getting a Photo State ID puts you up for Jury Duty, and you have to show proof of address with like utility bills, so that wouldn't work out for us. If you have multiple people on the DVC deed, each person has access to the DVC annual pass perks, even if they live at different addresses. I am not sure if Disney will still only give out additional DVC annual pass perks to other people living with the secondary DVC Deed owners.

But if you have 1000 points, and only you live at your address you can only get one DVC annual pass discount.

My partner does not currently live full time with me, and all I wanted is like to designate one special person to get a second DVC discount, but they can not handle this. Getting an associate membership will not help either for DVC perks. You can pay for a change to the DVC deed to list additional owners, but they would become also financially responsible for DVC.

Most DVC members are not in this situation, and you will not find any sympathy from them on this subject. Take away their DVC Dining Plan option for someone that doesn't live with them and they would scream.
I wonder what happens when one of their kids moves out, and gets a new driver license if they then care about the policy.

Hopefully your partner lives with you and my "rant" here will not affect you.

Hey even Mickey and Minnie don't live together, but their an item, aren't they? At least in Toon-Town. I wonder if either of them own at DVC?

End of my rant !

DVC is not the only program out there that either requires you to be an owner or live at the same address as the owner to get a discount. that is pretty standard practice and I don't see any issue with it. Nor do I see an issue with an adult child no longer having access to discounts, the cord needs to be cut at some point in life.

An example I can give you that is non-DVC. I work headoffice for a retailer, I am eligible for discounts... my spouse/parter is also eligible AS LONG AS they live at the same address. For years my then boyfriend/fiance was not eligable for my discount but when we moved in together he was then added to our records as family and is now entitled to the discount I get.

Neither of us had any issues or complaints as the rules are the rules and honestly I don't think they are unfair.

Now if I read correctly, you guys don't want to get official state ID that you reside where you do because you don't want to do Jury Duty? Then that is a choice you are making and need to accept then that may limit eligibility on certain items.

The AP discount is for owners and their immediate families that live at the same address. Traditionally couples, gay or straight, do live at the same address. If someone were your legal spouse, and did not have ID showing the same address, the spouse could not get the discount. There is no gay vs. straight discrimination here.

Only the normal assumption that a family/couple share the same household. If you choose not to for whatever reason, then that is your choice. That choice simply has more than one impact associated with it. In this case, the residence affects both jury duty and the AP discount, and you need to choose what is best for you. Residence affects a lot of other things, too. It just depends upon what you make your priority.

My partner and I didn't have any problem getting the DVC annual pass. We lived together and our drivers licenses had the same address.

Hey even Mickey and Minnie don't live together, but their an item, aren't they? At least in Toon-Town. I wonder if either of them own at DVC?

DVC doesn't provide that benefit to straight people who are "an item," either. Unless they share a residence.

ETA -- we're co-owners now! :
