Staying at Epcot resort. Have questions, please.

[Kay1]

We are staying at the Swolphin this weekend and I'm uncertain about a couple of things. We plan on checking in early Sunday and then heading to Epcot. We have no passes. We usually make a trip to our local AAA but just have been too busy do so. Also, we haven't ordered our DDE by phone.

So here are my questions: Can we just buy our APs at the small Guest relations at the WS entrance? If so, can we get our AAA dicount? What about DDE? Are they equipped to sell the cards there?

TIA.

Yes, you can get tickets at the "back" entrance. I've bought an AP there. I don't know if you can apply a AAA discount. I would call the AP phone number and ask about the DDE. I understand that you can pick it up at Guest Services.

Thank you, Disney Fool. Maybe it will be simpler if we just visit The Studios the first night. I still wonder about using the AAA discount at Guest Services. If no one here knows, maybe I can move that part of my question over to the Budget Board.

I was dreading the process, because I thought it would take a long time. NOT!!! I was finished in about 5 minutes--don't worry about the back entrance.

Same for me. I upgraded my 5 day hopper to an AP on the last day of my June trip, and it took all of 10 minutes, including the walk to and from the BC. I was the only person in line, which I doubt will be the case if you're at the front entrance for any of the parks.
