Richard Petty Driving Experience

Are there any DVC or annual pass discounts for the Prichard Petty Driving Experience? I can't seem to locate anything on the Disney website, but I wanted to double check.
Thank you!

I'm not sure about DVC or AP but they do offer a discount with AAA. I believe it was 15%.

We got a Driving Experience for my father as a gift when we went last summer. We only received the AAA discount. They told us there was no additional discount available as the Richard Petty franchise is not Disney, but is found in several locations nationwide. It doesn't hurt to ask when you call.

He absolutely loved it and it was worth every penny!

The Richard Petty Site had special $59 prices for the experience, a savings of $40! I bought them about 2 weeks ago. They are good indefinitely.
Sorry, I don't know if it is still available but you can check.

I know there is AP discount as well as a AAA/CAA discount. The AAA/CAA discount doesn't show up on there website, you have to call to book with that. I think the AP discount is a flat $20ish off all the experiences where as the AAA/CAA discount is a % of the total cost. I also think it might depend on there seasons? I got the rookie experience(8 laps behind the wheel) as a gift from my girlfriend in Oct and she said it was only $279 with the AAA/CAA discount, down from $399. So about 30% discount.
If you do go, or book for somebody else an experience where they will get the opportunity to drive the car, I highly recommend doing the ride-along first. It's $89 to add it on at the track and it really helped me to realize/believe what these cars can/will do!!! I never would have drove as fast as I did if I hadn't did the ride-along first. The cars really stick to the track and I never felt like I was outta control. When you drive the max speed is 120mph and I hit it on my 4th through 8th laps.
Enjoy, I'm still smiling everytime I tell somebody about it!
