TIW Purchase Question

[Narawen]

We'll be getting APs for our upcoming trip in December, and won't be activating until we get to WDW. I know I can book some things with AP discount prior to activating, but how does TIW work with this? Can I buy TIW at the concierge desk at a moderate hotel? I'd like to have the card for our first dinner, but don't think we'll be visiting a park our first day.

They are available at Guest Relations in Disney Springs, as well as the parks. They aren't sold at the resorts. You can also order one over the phone - (407) 566-5858 - if you have an AP, but I'm not sure how it would work with a voucher. You also don't want to get it too early because of it's expiration date and they state that it takes 3-4 weeks for deliver. That's a month of lost time.

You can pre-order as the PP stated and pick up at guest services.
If you've never done TIW b4, the break even point is somewhere around $750 - $800. So if you will spend at least that much in a year, you'll break even or save.
With the extra 20% they are giving AP holders through Sept, I did not buy a new TIW this year.

You can only purchase, or pick up a voucher, at Guest Relations in a park or at Disney Springs. You can not buy them at the resorts

In your situation (no park on arrival) we have gone to Disney Springs, had them activate our AP and purchased the TiW. Not sure but thinking your AP must be activated to get the TiW.

Look over your eating plans to see if the AP will help. We found our last trip that the AP discount was great on some park QS but that TiW was the better option for TS dining (higher percentage off at some, more locations and alcohol).
