Ticket Discounts

[TLSnell1981]

I have seen conflicting info on pass discounts for DVC members. I have read that you can get discounts on APs and MYW hoppers, but then I see that it's only APs. Help! Also, does anyone know how much the discounts are?

I believe that you can only get discounts on APs. Unless they are changing our DVC benefits for 2008. I haven't heard anything as of yet on that.

The AP discount for DVC members is $100 off of the current AP price (non-Florida resident). The AP makes sense if you will be able to visit WDW for about 8+ days in a year. By planning vacations wisely, you can use the AP for a vacation this year, and then for another vacation next year (as long as it completes before the AP's end date).

The link to dvc member benefits on wdwinfo shows a 10% discount on park hoppers. I haven't heard or seen anything on this board on this benefit.

I think this info is outdated on wdwinfo. Here's what it says:
DVC offers discounts for a variety of WDW restaurants, recreational programs and tours. A complete list is provided to members when they check in at their resort. Members also receive a 10% discount on Unlimited Park Hopper passes, that allow unlimited admission to all WDW Theme Parks, Water Parks, Pleasure Island and Disney Quest for every day of your stay. These passes must be purchased at a Disney Vacation Club resort during your stay.

There's no such thing anymore as Unlimited Park Hoppers since everything is now known as Magic Your Way. As far as I know its only the $100 off an AP. Boy, do I wish it was 10 percent off park hoppers! That would be great as we only do one trip per year and don't need an AP!!

The AP (or PAP) discounts are also limited to family members who live at the same address as the member.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. I didn't think it applied to MYW Park Hopper Passes.

FYI, the discount is $125 off the Premium Annual Pass, and its somewhat less on the children's APs...

Agree only on the AP going to renew ours soon.

Just for the record, the AP allows parkhopping.

How does the annual pass timeframe work? If we were to vacation in late August of one year, and early August of the next year would we be able to use the pass for both trips provided that none of our days overlap?

The PAP and AP start the first day you use it. Then they are good for 365 days. So if you use it first on Aug 1, the last time you can use it is Aug 1 of the next year. If you choose to renew an AP or PAP, the renewal begins the day of expiration of the last.

THAT'S IT!!! Now Disney has done it!!! They have taken 100 days off of a year! How can they continue to ratchet up the prices while taking perks away from us! I'm putting my contract up for sale.

Also, now all of my calendars are no good!

Thanks, Disney!

Actually, doesn't it start the day you activate it by turning in the voucher? You don't actually HAVE to enter a park...
