Where do I purchase DVC Annual Pass online?

[WDWorld2003]

For our upcoming trip we will be purchasing one annual pass. I've looked on the annual pass site and did not see an option for a DVC pass. I thought I read somewhere you can purchase a voucher. Or, are you better off purchasing in the parks? We will need to to check into our room at WL for the 1st two nights. Then's it's off to BWV Boardwalk View!!!!

2 weeks and 3 days to go!

You can do it either way. There is a link to purchase a DVC annual pass on the dvcmember website. If you order online, you get a voucher that you still need to activate at the park. There is no advantage to one versus the other. I usually purchase mine at the park, as I have a small collection of 1 day passes to use towards the cost.

Here's the direct link to buying them on the member site: Walt Disney World Ticket Store DVC Annual Passes

To find it in the future, it's located in the following (very hidden) spot:

Member Privileges menu at the top of the page

Member Perks

Walt Disney World Resort

Walt Disney World Annual Pass Savings and More Disney Magic

Walt Disney World Annual Pass Savings

In the "How to purchase a pass" section, click on the Walt Disney World Ticket Store link.

Thanks! No wonder I couldn't find it... I was looking on the Annual Passholder site.

How come it states AP regular ticket price & 369.00 for adult and DVC discount $369.00 Howw much is regular ticket price without dvc discount?

 

[drusba]

Regular adult price is $469, discount is thus $100.

There is one advantage to buying before you go, perhaps long before: you avoid any price increase that may occur between now and the trip.

And as to above instructions where you have to go through various stages to finally find where you can buy the discounted pass on-line: has anyone else ever noticed how hard it is to find way to any discount on the Disney site.

can i order the APs online and pick them up at guest relations ? or should i wait at this point and buy them when we get there dec. 24th.

Another ? - If I do purchase a voucher do I have access to the Annual Pass web page even though my pass is not active yet?

If you are arriving on 12/24, you would need to select will call or buy them at guest services.

If you had more time. When you order online you have two options, will call or exchange voucher. You can access the passholder website with the exchange voucher. Either way you still have to go to a guest services location to get your actual AP.

if i select will call: will the pass be activated on dec. 24 ? or can i select will call and just pick up the AP during my trip and then that day they will be activated. I am not sure we will have time on dec. 24th to pick them up.

Not sure I really understood this question. If you pick up a voucher at some point during your trip you will need to head back to guest relations to have it turned into an AP, or you just goto will call when you can, and get the AP and it will be activated for that day. The pass wont be activated until you tell them to.

If you select will call, your AP will be active the moment you pick them up from guest services.

Yes, there is a way to entire the voucher number to access the passholder site.
