Hey guys! I am posting a lot lately because we are really trying to get our ducks in a row before booking my mom and dad's rv spot August 1st. My mom is flying to see my sister this weekend and she will be able to explain things face to face to her. For some reason my parents are becoming very difficult to plan with. It is like it is too overwhelming to them. They are only 70 this year but we are seeing so much change. It is easier to have things straight and not confuse them.
Our trip is Dec 13-22, 2019. We can book their site on Aug 1, 2017 (499 days out). Since Star Wars is opening and it is December we are assuming RV sites will book fast. My sister and I are all sharing a VRBO. That is already booked too. Last time we went my sister and her husband stayed with my mom and dad so we could get parking free to the parks with her vehicle and a few other perks.
This time they will not. So, I am exploring at least one with an annual pass. I have never done an annual pass. My husband is military and we do have AAA.
I just looked and the Platinum AP is $808.00 on AAA. I believe that might be a better price than military. On the military site it says Platinum AP is $857.00.
I just read that someone stated that the AP pretty are good to you activate them. They said that there is not expiration date or price increase that you must pay on these. Can anyone vouch for this?
Also, I have read parking free and some restaurant discounts (more if you get Keys to the Kingdom). Are their no counter service discounts?
We would like to go to MVMCP but it appears they are choosing December dates for AP, DVC or Military anymore?
The photopass free would be a plus.
Is there any other benefits that I am not thinking of?
Sorry to bother!
Thank you!
Carrie
