DVC and Annual Passes

[Big Ben]

Greetings! I'm a DVC member since '02 but never had an Annual Pass.
Question is, how do I buy one(or two)? My plan was to get them for a trip in Oct. we've been planning for a while, but then all the madness happened, now they coming back, yea
Do I have to get them through DVC, My Disney Experience, where? When the 8th gets here where/who do I call or what website do I visit? Any help is appreciated for this AP newbie. Thanks.

You can buy one now if you have reservations by calling DVC Member Services.

For the first time - I was told at guest services - you can also buy them online. Since your DVC is integrated…there shouldn’t be a block.

they also said that you can upgrade tickets to APs online as well…they’re being told.

I gotta wonder though: you’ve had DVC for 20 years and never got an annual pass?

We never went often enough to be worth it. We used our membership for other things as well, cruises, Adventures, etc., not always parks.
But now that we are going 2-3 in the next year, suddenly it seems feasible.

I tried, they said no, not until the 8th.

Assuming all the Disney IT runs smoothly on the 8th you should be able to buy your APs online. Disney should know that you’re DVC and let you buy them at the DVC rate. If not you’ll need to call DVC member services. Which pass are you planning to get?

I'm sure the site will be super slow, it's pretty slow to log on for dining reservations now, was going to call first to see what the wait times are.
I was planning on the Sorcerer Pass.

Keep in mind things are also changing. What you can do in Sept may also be different than what you can do now. Try to be online and patient on the 7th. You should be able to buy online still at this point. Hopefully. If not a quick call (hopefully low wait lol) will get you sorted.

Weird, but I was just told by a friend who is DVC member that he was told he can only buy the 1299.99 pass, there are no other options unless a person is also a FL resident. All out of state guests only have one choice as well now too. That does seem to be what the website states.

Was it always that way for DVC members ? That's 1299.99 plus 99.00 for photo pass plus 99.00 for water parks or 1497.00
I paid 799.00 for the same in 2015 and then I had 3 free FP as well. That is very close to double in 6 years. I think my 6 kids are on their ownnow for AP. Thank god we did our Super WDW trips 2015 to 2019. I thought dropping 5400 was bad after the 2016 raise of 100.00.

Well…this is something to watch

it sounds like a misinterpretation by the seller…which does always happen…but still…

it will be interesting if that’s true…a large timeshare group will lift off challenger style on Wednesday

Well better, still many DVC people don't go enough to justify the 899 plus 99 plus 99. Hey, At least parking is in these.

A friend that works at Disney told me 5 min ago her CM silver pass lost free parking!I am thinking she can't be right, but she works there so hard to argue. She is in her late 70's, possibly she misunderstood? Still, if it's true to do that to employees, now?

Oh I know…

it’s not “good” even still. For a a family of 4 it’s $3829 for the year…with blackouts…no water parks…

the ball has rolled straight downhill as I sadly predicted when everyone was lauding Bob for buying Star Wars and screwing it up
