New DVC Member Annual Pass Price

Pam, I'm thinking we might have to wait until October 1 to get more details when DVC actually announces this, but it would really surprise me if you couldn't just walk up and buy them at a ticket window. Our friends purchased a DVC AP last month, and they don't ship vouchers for them, just give you a will call confirmation. So even at the worst, you might just have to call MS from the hotel and go to will call as soon as they allow you. But I'd be really surprised if that was the case.

ETA-Actually just read unofficial info that they will be available to purchase at ticket windows. They won't be vouchers you can save until later, their validity will start upon purchase. Be sure to carry your DVC membership cards if you don't already!

Thanks, just what I was hoping. I always have my DVC membership card with me and I'll have my Disney rewards card too which will give me two AP's for FREE!!!!

Another perk of the PAP that nobody has mentioned is the 20% discount in some of the retail stores at WDW. The regular AP is only a 10% discount. That 20% can add up really fast! Plus don't forget the discounts on the hard-ticket parties, recreation and tours.

First, the TIW is extended to all DVC members and now this HUGE discount...I think I am really liking Claire Bilby at this point.

TIW was a long time coming. It never made sense that DVC members didn't get a discount. We have TIW for this year, but we also have APs, which we used for the discount.

Plus, when they increased AP prices this year, the DVC discount increased to keep the cost to members the same. That's pretty big too and they easily could have not done that.
