New AP price with DVC discount?

[Zummi Gummi]

Is the DVC discount on the annual pass 15% or 20%? I can't remember.

Just curious what it will cost to renew my AP once the new prices are in place.

It is not a percentage, it has just been $100 off of the regular price so as Disney has raised their prices, the % off has gone down. I think its only $85 off of a renewal.

You can purchase your renewal voucher and have it held at will call for you. The prices have already increased on the WDW website but, for some reason, they are not at the new price on the DVC Member website. An annual pass is $425.00 right now. Grab your renewal before they adjust the prices.

I think $425 is the new price. I thought it was about $389 before the increase. Also notice the child price is the same as the adult price. I was trying to buy before the increase, but there was no option to have the vouchers mailed to you, only will call. Now the shipment option is back.

I thought I read in another thread that vouchers had to be activated within a year. Any truth to that?

I called yesterday before the prince increase, but you can only renew 30 days before. The new price is less than what you would pay for a completely new pass before the renewal discount. So, I'm going to wait.

Yesterday's price, before tax, was $419.00. I paid $1338.72, with tax, for 3 passes. To purchase the same tickets today, with tax, would cost $1357.89. That's 425.00 each, before tax.

It would be great if $425 is the new price, but I have a feeling an error has been made that will be corrected soon.

I'm very happy that my older daughter is a Disney Campus Rep. There's no need for a pass for her. Yea!

you are right

Yes, you are right!

Actually, It was 419.00 for the annual price (not renewal) they only went up 6 dollars. AND, now it's not 100.00 off... it's 149.00

I don't think so since they clearly said it was a savings of 149.00. I think this is what is is.

Yes, I just read through the whole page and you're right. It's a savings of $149.00 for DVC members. That's really a great discount!:sohappy:

I feel a bit silly for purchasing my tickets yesterday but, better safe than sorry.

 

[Annielkd]

I called yesterday to see if there was anyway to renew early and the woman on the phone said that the prices weren't going up that much. I was still worried because nothing was posted anywhere... who would have expected the savings to go up?

A pleasant surprise. The only downside for me is my 8 year old now pays the adult price a couple years early. But the additional discount for my wife and myself probably offsets his increase.

I'm not sure how I feel about kids paying the adult price. My son at 6 rode all the rides, so I can see it being appropriate. I think some kids are small and can't ride everything. If they can't ride, they should have to pay the same price. If your daughter can ride everything... then I guess it's somewhat fair.

We have teenagers so it makes no difference to me but it just doesn't seem right, charging children the same prices as adults. I really wish Walt Disney were alive. I'd like to believe he would have found it unacceptable.

 

[Annielkd]

many parks charge by what rides kids can go on... so they should have a children's price if they are under the height needed to go on many of the rides. I think that would be fair.

Excellent point.

I really think it has more to do with people with young children are cash strapped, and if they can get a break on the price, they are more apt to go than if they had to pay full fare.

If it had to do with how much of the park a child can use, then we could argue for all sorts of discounted tickets. A pregnant woman should get a discount - they can't ride everything. Some people with psycological problem cant take flashing lights, so they get a discount. Heck, there are people that are just plain scared of certain rides, I guess they would get a discount too.

I guess there is no good way to do this The young kids don't go on all the rides, but their strollers need a significant amount of staff to move and what not... so yeah... they use their tickets in other ways. I guess it's just whatever Disney decides.

Wasn't there talk recently about bringing back a General Admission type pass that would allow admission to the park but no rides? Kind of a "Grandparents" pass. Of course, I'd hate to see how crowded the MK would be then.

Can you imagine!!!! It would be packed! They would need to make a scooter lane. Between the scooters and the strollers, there would be no walking space.
