wdw discounts are coming?

[daddiojiggy]

i've read for awhile now, on this forum,that dvc members (while talking to cr) got the impression that we were about to get discounts for park passes-better than what is out there right now.so i've been waiting,as well as others, for this day but as yet there is nothing as far as i know.does anybody know if and when it's coming?i'll be leaving for ssr at the end of nov and would like to have my tickets picked and settled before that

The excitement about the possibility of expanded park admission discounts was fueled by a survey offered to some DVC members several months ago.

The results of that survey have not been published or discussed by DVC in any public capacity and any assumptions made about impending changes are certainly wishful speculation at this time.

I wouldn't make any purchase decisions for the near future based on rumors from this board. Buy the ticket media you need for this trip and if a new DVC discount is later offered, you'll be able to enjoy that benefit on your next trip. (Any unused days on many ticket options can be applied to a future purchase anyway- so you won't lose anything if a discount is announced.)

Doc, not sure if I understood this correctly...For example, Can I use unused days on a PHP towards the purchase of an AP?

Not sure about the combination you mentioned, but if you have a 5 day park hopper, for example, you can change it in for an AP, and the unused days are credited to your AP, so you get it for a few $ less. I've done this before, so I know this can be done. You must be upgrading, though.

Yes but just remember they value it based on what you paid, not what it currently costs. As for other media discounts, don't hold your breath. If it happens, it's likely to be a couple of years or more. I'm sure we'll see various options over the years but unless they offer options with more value than what they have so far, it won't help the members out much.

Yes- you will receive a pro-rated credit (based on the original price of the PHP) which may be used towards the purchase of an AP.

I'm sure this question will come up at the annual meetings at the end of November/beginning of December. If there is going to be an announcement, I would expect it then. They usually like to have member news to present. Last year it was the OKW slide.

One of the cautions when conducting a survey is creating expectations for people that the results might benefit them. I doubt they had many responses saying no, we don't want any discounts.
