disneys annual pass

[tezz7628]

could someone please confirm that the premium annual pass has the same facilities as the 10 day pass

[amy]

It has more, I got 2 for $780 dollars, it may seem a lot but you get plenty of extras, free car park for one thats a saving of $7 a time. and you can also get discount from the shops

I can confirm that it has got more. Amy can I just ask when you bought your PAP and check that they were for adults because I paid $403 for an ordinary AP just a month ago. I bought it from Guest services because I didn't think you could get them from anywhere other than Disney.
As far as I know unless you get something for Florida residents you have to pay the full price (unless its a renewal) The PAP is about $531 dollars right now.
If anyone has a better source for annuals please could you let me know. We make sure that one of our party has one because you can save on parking, lunches, and purchases from DD.

just to clarify this topic started in

http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums...topic_id=11277
and may still be getting answers there

the price list i saw was pap $531-44
renewal $478-20 both for adults so at least we're talking about the same thing

question 1
is this available to a non resident non home owner

question 2
does it include the water parks, not to bothered about pleasure island or disney quest

10 pass was and still is at the moment £199
so basically i've worked out that on the 15th day and beyond your better off with an annual pass, do you agree?

question 3
is there anything that is equivelent to the 10 day pass on an annual basis other than the pap

thanks for your help thus far

you say that at least one of your party has one that sounds like they can be used by different people but am assuming that won't be the case

[tezz7628]

i am convinced i must have at some stage asked about annual pass before and been told its only available to florida residents

you can only go by information you are given

i am absolutely gutted the no. of times i have been

i keep reading in the various topics i wish you'd been around when i started going to florida

put me in that group will yaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can confirm that you do not have to be a Florida resident to get one.
Only the one person who bought the pass can use it, but they can show it for the car park and you are allowed the meal discount for 4 on one pass. They can also get the la Nouba tickets with discount for 4 people.
It has all the rights of the 10 day park hopper with the single exception of the free voucher for the character meal.
If you go twice a year and are a Disney fan or if you are there for 3 weeks and are concentrating on Disney it is worth at least 1 in 4 of your party getting one.
We have been using an annual pass for years now as I am a self confessed Disney geek.
If you are not a water park fan or don't think you will go more than twice then you are better with the AP rather than the PAP. You have already said you are not bothered about Disney Quest.
If you have any more questions please ask. I am frightened of confusing the issue with too much information.

Another clever tip with annual passes is if you go to Florida two years running, then make sure you go two weeks earlier in the second year. This way your annual pass will be valid for both holidays and you will save a fortune.

don't understand what la nouba is!

i'm reckoning by about the 14th day or thereabouts, now i've found out about the free car parks etc, your better off with the annual pass

what is the allowable gap between one pass ending and the other beginning?

[blott]

La Nouba is the name of the show at the Cirque du Soleil which is apparently utterly amazing and I must get around to going!

If you have a search for Cirque du Soleil, you'll find some threads about it with revues of the show.

When your current annual pass expires, you can either get another one starting from the same date or leave it until you want to go next time or not get another one at all if you wish.
