New DVC ticket options

[Fangorn]

DVC has just released 2 new ticket options for members.

1) 7 day tickets for the price of 5. PLUS, the tickets are valid for 6 months from first use, not the usual 14 days.

2) the Platinum Plus Annual Pass for $559. That's the same price as the Gold Pass! No blackout dates and include the water parks.

Nice to feel special, and not just lumped in with the entire State of Florida. :blush:

Does anyone have an educated guess on how long these offers will be available? My family is going next November and I'd like to take advantage of this, but aren't quite financially at the point to spend the money yet.

Thanks!

Agreed! Especially when perks seem to be fleeting.

If we purchase the Platinum pass for 2018, can we renew with the Gold pass price for the next year? We won't need the Platinum again unless there is this deal. Or do we have to buy a new purchase Gold Pass.

The last time they had the special pass offer ($399 Premium?) I was allowed to downgrade at renewal time.

When you downgraded, did you pay the renewal or for a new ticket.

You'll pay the renewal rate - whatever that is at the time.

I have a question with regard to the AP, hoping someone can help.

We currently have GOLD AP expiring end of Sept. The 13 month renewal offer is good for tickets prior to October 31. If we renew to the Platinum Pass will we get 13 or 12 months?

[Fangorn]

From what I've read elsewhere, you should get 13 months when you renew.

I've heard the same thing, but you need to process the renewal in person at guest relations as Member Services seems to not be able to process and give you both things.
