I was wondering if there are any discounts or ways around the 15.00 fee for WDW Prep Membership? Thank you in advance, Gramma Sherri
Hi, Sherri –
Clients of Perfect Story Travel get a free membership when they book. Hope that helps.
In the podcast you mentioned a discount for Disney Visa cardholders. Any tips on how I can get more details on this discount? I have checked the Chase site and Disney site and not finding this discount listed. Thanks!
Sure! Here are the details of that offer. https://www.mousesavers.com/walt-disney-world-vacation-discounts-and-deals/disney-world-vacation-package-discounts/#dvgiftmagicpkg
A podcast on Annual pass discounts would be a great follow up to this. I have been debating purchasing one for a trip next year but I’m still up in the air as to whether the investment is worth it. Thanks for collecting all of this information together. I’ve been considering renting DVC points for that trip, but I cannot yet (trip is not until next December) and I’m still crunching all numbers to see what my best deal is (especially since I know that season is popular with owners and availability may be limited).
Here’s lots of AP info that you will probably find helpful – http://wdwprepschool.com/disney-world-annual-pass/
