Annual Pass Holders

[swissamy]

We as a family adore the Tables in Wonderland card and the AP room only rates.

The TIW card is helpful because even though it adds an automatic gratuity, we would have the tip added anyway because we are always a party of 6 or more and we would leave the tip anyway as service is always great (with the exception of one time that is now far in the past and need not be discussed). We also use the AP for discounts at Blizzard Beach and for merchandise at most stores. It is something we have NEVER regretted!!

And it allows us to make more frequent trips (even if we stay shorter stays) - Heaven is just being there and seeing the magic reflected in my sons' eyes!

If you have AAA, buy the passes there. They will sell you exchange certificates that you take to the pack to exchange for annual passes. You get a little discount and if for some reason you don't use them I am told you can take them back to AAA for a full refund.

I did not know this. If I buy them today and activate them on our trip, they will not be good for 1 calendar year?

"Santa" brought ours last Christmas, but we didnt use them until July 25. They do not expire unitl July 25 of 2013 even though they were purchased in November. You can still register your card number on the back of your AP with the Disney site and get access to the AP only website info. This does NOT activate your card. The cards you get at the mall disney store for example gets tossed in the garbage and you are issued your actual APs in WDW the first day you want to use them.

I did register my card on their website. Thanks for the info.
