Annual Pass question

I am planning a trip with my Future DH for November for six nights and then again in April with my entire extended fam for 7 nights. It seems cheaper to just buy an annual pass instead of a park hopper pass. What are some of the perks of an annual pass? I hear it is good discounts on rooms...what kind of discounts..if you don't mind me asking!? Thanks in advance!

We got 45% off at the Poly for our trip last month. So far, the AP rates have been about 5% better than the general public rates. Not a ton of difference, but every little bit helps.

Definitely worth it if you go 2x or more/year. I love the AP rates on the resorts (my fav is your tagline!), and discounts on table service restaurants, and slight discount on shopping. Go for it, you won't be disappointed, since I'm betting they'll raise tix prices in Aug (again).

Wow..those are some great discounts! I think I'm going to do it! So they raise prices in Aug? I now know when to buy them by! Thanks everyone!

Plus you can add on the dining plan to a resort passholder discount if you want to, which you cannot do with a general public room only discount.

We are going 5 times this year. Definitely worth it to us to have the AP!

I can't remember the exact time frame but historically they raise them in August. I think you can find the info on AllEars or Mousesavers to see the trend over the years. They are pretty consistent.

Go for the AP you won't be disappointed!
