Ask to stay in the Grandstand section. You'll get the buses faster. And hop a bus before non or after 5. Between 12-5 they run on a reduced schedule.
I was just there last week. Had great bus service. I ended up leaving my van in the parking lot so I could update my schedule on my phone.

This is great news but not timely for us. We're going this coming week and leave on the 20th, the day they go on sale... DVC members can buy them on the 13th, will that help? |

I was so excited to see the email until I started looking into the details. Why can't DVC owners get an annual pass option without blackout dates?! A discount on each pass type would be much more desirable. Having to activate the voucher within a year from purchase, and not being able to transfer it within household is more restrictive than in the past, and the timing doesn't give owners the flexibility to hedge against a revocation of sales like the former vouchers did. Bottom line, while I'm glad they are going back on sale for those who do not currently have an AP, the disclaimer that sales can be suspended at any time is not reassuring and takes away any benefit to those of us who have an AP right now. In case you didn’t realise, you can still buy the IncrediPass, with no blackout dates, but there’s no discount. |

Good news for all frequent WDW visitors, especially us DVC folk. Now if they would only get rid of park reservations and park hopping rules. TOM!!!! Fancy seeing you here. I miss hanging out with you guys in Disney. You know I left my train garden up so I could enjoy it when I got home. Can't believe I don't get to go back until September.☹️ Labor Day weekend for us......then end of September, so our paths may cross (I think they will). Do going to WDW for 6 months is a long stretch for us. Even when Covid Pandemic broke out, that stretch away was 6 months. I am thinking that we will sneak in a quick weekend to WDW in June.....we will see. Lets try and arrange a get together in the couple of months. |

Thanks but it won't help as we are second class DVC owners.. white card. But that's ok, we'll buy them next year when it becomes practical. |

I noticed that they add this line:
Highlights of This Pass
Admission to one or more Walt Disney World Resort theme parks during the year with an advance reservation (reservations are limited and are subject to availability)¹
This probably means they won't be getting rid of reservations anytime soon. At least we will soon be able to get in after 2:00 without a reservation.

I get it. All of the uncertainty definitely adds stress to something that is meant to be enjoyable. I already have 2 trips planned this year, so this was a gift. I'm not sure if we will do an AP for Tim or not. He is only planning on our November trip (unless he crashes my B-day weekend with my peeps) and an AP might be overkill. However, would be much easier to get him to take a "spontaneous" F&G trip next Spring if he has an AP. Decisions, decisions... |

Perfect timing for me. We're going 4/26-4/29 and I've already purchased a three day ticket. I can roll that cost into the AP. Sorry if you've already answered this, but I'm not going to read through all of the other posts trying to find this answer: Has WDW specifically said (or written) that they will continue to allow the AP upgrade from a current ticket? I have 2 day tickets for May the 4th and don't want to cancel. Thanks! |

I called DVC MS yesterday with this question and was told yes, the price I paid for the three day ticket can be applied to the AP purchase. |

Pixie dust and pirate pass are for florida residents only. Sorcerer pass is the lowest level pass DVC members can purchase. We would SOOOOO get the Pixie Dust pass, if we could. |

Do I have to call Member Services to upgrade my daughter’s 6 day pass to an AP or can I do that online?

For those who might want day tickets Undercover Tourist is running a deal where adults pay kid prices.
