Question about Spring Offer - The DIS Discussion Forums

Dis703 · 02-14-2013, 11:42 AM

Hello!

I currently have a package booked under the Spring Offer that is 7 nights at BC with 8 day PH tickets. We are very likely going to be purchasing annual passes for myself, DH and DS, but our sister who is going with us for this trip will not be getting an AP. Can I still book the ticket just for her with the room or does it have to be the entire party? I know there is a slight discount (didn't seem like much) for the tickets with the room if there was more than 4 days. Just wondering if we are going to lose that and have to pay full price for her.

TIA!

All occupants of the room have to purchase the same tickets under a discount offer (as far as I know). So you didn't lose the discounted tickets, how about getting everyone the 8 day PH tickets and upgrading those who want them to Annual Passes once you arrive at the parks? We did this at EPCOT one night and it was very easy.

Have you checked to see if you would save money by booking with an AP rate for your upcoming trip. You don't have to get the AP until you get to Disney. You could book the AP rate, buy tickets through a authorized ticket broker or see if any travel agents have any promos that might get you a gift card with booking the room/tickets with them. You might end up saving more money than with the Spring offer that way.

I just checked on the travel agent site and the AP rate for 7 nights in May at Beach Club/Yacht Club is almost $200 cheaper than the Spring offer.

Thanks for the responses. I ended up calling to check on the AP discount and it was good enough we decided to book a club level room. I'm going to use the gift cards we get 5% off at Target and buy our passes and the extra ticket for my sister so we still get a bit of a break.
