AP Question

[Ghostbuster626]

Does anyone know if southern california residents get a discount off the Premimium annual pass (the one with no blackout days)?

[wolfy]

Only if it is a renewal, then you receive a $20.00 discount.

[Darkbeer]

Some employers can get you a discount on the Deluxe or Premium (first time purchase). If I remember correctly, it is about a $12 discount.

I've got a related question. I understand that you can upgrade your annual passes. Is there a limit to that? I mean, it almost sounds like a lay-away plan if you can start with a regular day ticket, upgrade that to a So Cal select, then later move that to a standard So Cal, to deluxe, etc., whenever you get the money together? Does it work like that?

How much is it to get into the park on a blacked out day? $30?

Yes, you can keep upgrading... BUT

You keep the same experation date, and you have to pay the difference between what you have already paid, and the current price...

So you could buy a SoCal Select AP today (4/8/05) for $99...

Then upgrade to a regular SoCal in May for an extra $50, but your AP still would expire on April 8th, 2006.

In July, get a Deluxe AP for another $60 so you can visit during the summer...

Then in August, spend another $49 and get a Parking Pass, still only good thru Apriul 8th, 2006.

In December, you could uprade to a Premium, but lets say the prices went up another $50.. so you would have to pay an extra $121 instead of $71.... and you still have an expiration date of April 8th, 2006.

And yes, currently a blockout pass is $30 per day, and must be purchased on day of use.

yeah, I figured the expiration date didn't change. Thanks, that helps a lot.

For a new one? No.

[zach1]

ok, i've got another AP question. If a park employee gets you in for free, can you still use the face value of your ticket towards the purchase of an AP?

[MickeyMan]

The Ticket that the cast members get do not have a face value. So you really have no ticket to trade up from.

[yensid98]

Only if it is a renewal, then you receive a $20.00 discount.

Isn't that $20 discount applicable only if you renew by mail?

[James T Hook]

We just did our renewal in the park and still got the Discount.......Brought our paper work that was sent to us, maybe that helped.

[erobbspike]

Our APs expire in August. Can I get an annual parking pass tomorrow and have it expire one year from now?

Ok- here is another AP question- is there a discount at the Lego store in DD with an AP?

[dsnylndmom]

If I'm not mistaken it's $5 off a purchase of $30 or more, along those lines.

[dramaqueen]

That will make hubby happy- there are two star wars ships to the tune of $300 a piece he wants, so maybe I can convince him to hold off a few more months. Thanks for the info, your the best dsnylndmom!!!

I have an AP question:

Can you upgrade to the $150 pass from a 2-fer ticket???

Thanks.

[sir clinksalot]

Okay, another AP question. Can you still by AP's at SoCal Disney Stores? We want to avoid the ticket booths at all costs!!!

[melmel]

Quick tip for people too poor to afford an annual pass. But it's less than legal. You can go to the park around closing, and ask people for their ticket stubs. If you get lucky and get a two day park hopper pass, then you can get like $89 off the price of an AP.

[dramaqueen]

You can buy an AP at any Disney Store (I have seen them for sale in Arizona) or on the website- www.disneyland.com
