Hi Earl,
Thank you so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I purchased my family's Premium Annual Passes using the Disney Vacation Club member discount, and they are great! We love the flexibility of our Premium Annual Passes.
There is currently a discount available to Disney Vacation Club members on both Annual Passes and Premium Annual Passes. Discounts on these have been offered for quite a while, so my guess is that they will continue; however, there is no guarantee that they will. Discounts on these passes for Disney Vacation Club Members are subject to change at any time.
If you purchase Annual Passes or Premium Annual Passes from home prior to your trip, you will receive a voucher for these in the mail. You will then take the vouchers to a ticket window at Walt Disney World and exchange them for your Annual Passes or Premium Annual Passes. The start date of the Annual Passes or Premium Annual Passes will be the day that you trade in the vouchers at Walt Disney World, not the day that you purchase them from home.
To learn more about discounts on annual passes available to Disney Vacation Club members, visit the
Disney Vacation Club Member Website. From the Membership Magic tab, choose "Perks" and then scroll down to "Tickets & Tours" where you can find more information about this discount, including how to purchase them by phone, online, or in person.
I hope that this information is helpful for you, Earl. Have a wonderful time planning your vacation, and please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions!
