News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

[Sirwalterraleigh]

My hunch is depending on the number of dvc AP sells, they may limit non-dvc AP sells the week after

Yeah…like a Black Friday doorbuster.

They have a fixed amount predetermined.

So really it’s like lightning lane at $1500 a head

 

[pdude81]

I am not a DVC owner but come on Disney, GIVE AN AP DISCOUNT TO DVC members!!!
These folks are literally invested in WDW!

I assume they would argue that allowing DVC to buy Sorcerer passes is a discount. It is to me as I don't want to go for Thanksgiving or Christmas. But to others not such a benefit

 

[HauntedPirate]

Did you hit your head and not notice the 2021 part

Trust me, I know what year it is.

$500 from MSP to MIA last month. $500 from MSP to MCO last year. Non-peak times. Right now, looking at a mid-week RT flight in mid-October to MCO starts at $438.

I think you’re spot on.

I hope our assumption here didn’t come across as being too negative though. That gets frowned upon at times lol

Agreed. "Just having the privilege of buying an AP is a discount!!! MAGIC!!!" Let's just say... I disagree.

I fear the Greeks…even when bearing gifts

Well that’s what they said…you wanna buy it?

But from a purely academic perspective…a “discount” is less than sticker price.

From a team Disney Orlando perspective…we wouldn’t have tried to sell something to Florida and dvc as being “discounted” when there was no actual street price to compare it too. But the world was round back then

Agreed. "Just having the privilege of buying an AP is a discount!!! MAGIC!!!" Let's just say... I disagree.

Well that’s what they said…who are you to deny it?

Since we are no longer the magic, I assume APs are? lol

I just bought tickets for our August trip . Anyone know if they can covert that to AP, or is that only in person?

They can convert it. Call em up. Jus t make sure the math works for you…it likely does

You’re flying 10 feet. Airlines price those routes as more “business travel”

How much is it to Jacksonville and Savannah? Like a BAZILLION dollars?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Did you know summer in the parks is so hot and crowded that no one goes anymore?

Joke’s on us, though. Instead, we pack in the parks during the pleasant, 90-degree April weather. How refreshing.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

As for Doc Brown - I've seen enough Law and Order to know he... Because that was 95% a Law and Order episode.

Yeah…that was as subtle as “darth sidious”

I predicted that and left to pick up my daughter…my wife thinks I’m kreskin now

 

[Disstevefan1]

Yes according to the website linked here.

Thats..... Incredible

It is a funny thing isn’t it?

Trips during July and Christmas week have worked out much better than the hell we experience in October and February some years ago…so we won’t go back.

Pretty simple reasons too

 

[Mr. Stay Puft]

Glad APs are being sold again. Hopefully us APs can get some of the benefits we lost back the last few years.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

So NEW purchases of Incredi-Pass do not have blackout dates around Christmas?

Good grief…isn’t that the MINIMUM they can do?

$5 off the $499 Halloween party? lol

Maybe some of us can take a break - even one day - from the complaining so people coming here for news on the return of DVC annual passes can get in some discussion and information on the issue. I'm not a moderator and have no authority to limit discussion, it's just a plea.

 

[Goofnut1980]

The price sky rocketing in 2019 was a necessary thing I guess. But man do I miss when annual passes were sub $1000. I can't justify a pass that I can't use anytime and have to plan every visit. A huge reason I loved the AP was just being able to enter on a whim without having to plan. I know it is coming back in some sort of capacity but it just isn't all the time, which diminishes the value to me.

I remember our "gold" pass back in the day for DVC was about $350 per person. Granted that was 10 years ago. But big difference now. It is literally $1000 more for the two passes we renew each year.
