Tickets for a DVC stay

[ninafeliz]

Can you add tickets to a DVC stay and make it essentially a "package", or do you have to just buy separate tickets and pay in full for them? I only ask because we have a trip booked for next July, and need to have tickets to make park pass reservations. 6 of us would ideally like to buy gold APs, but obviously we can't right now. I was never a fan of packages, and typically booked room only, but in this case I wish I could add tickets to our DVC reservation to make the park passes, and that would give us the ability to cancel the tickets, or change the number of days the tickets are for, instead of them being non refundable. Although, now that I think about it, if we cancelled the tickets it wouldn't be a package and then with non DVC we would have to rebook the room, so maybe it wouldn't work anyway. What should we do? Just suck it up and buy tickets for everyone? Or wait a while and see if they start selling APs? I can't imagine the park passes will book up for next July, but it also bothers me to know we could have park passes booked just in case, and don't.

Tickets are always separate. DVC rooms can never be made into a package. You have to PIF when you buy the tickets.

AP must be paid in full at purchase as well. No installment plan for DVC purchase of AP.

IN THE PAST guests were able to buy park tickets for whatever number of days they wanted (to make FPs, for instance) and then upgrade those tickets to APs in person once they arrived at WDW, just paying the difference in price. That doesn't mean that will be the same once they start selling APs again, but it's likely. OTOH, I doubt that park passes for next July are going to sell out now. In fact, I'm hoping to upgrade our current Gold passes to Platinum for our upcoming December 2020 trip and then match our kids' park passes....
