We got back from the DLR a month ago now sad2: it's gone so quick) and we're already planning for 2008!! I dunno, it just happens....
This summer we got Deluxe Annual Passes in order to make the most of both full days and half days, early mornings, just Fantasmic!, just fireworks, etc. and it worked out great for us. We got 2 Deluxe passes and 1 Deluxe with parking to save on our parking. I'm currently calculating (rough) prices for our next trip, bearing in mind that AP's will no doubt go up a "bit"(?) by 2008 , and have had what I'm classing a bright idea.
We got 10% off food this summer but obviously nothing on merchandise - which was sometimes confusing as we had AP's for Universal too and got discounts on everything there - if only Disney were able to be as carefree with their discounts. However, I was thinking... when we used our AP's to purchase food for the whole family only one pass was looked at. I suppose this is a silly question but only one person really needs the discount don't they? Like parking. We buy A LOT of stuff at the parks and spend an absolute fortune so we really want to take advantage next time and spend a little more in the first place (buying Premium AP's) but make our money back with the 15% off food and 10% off merchandise.
So, what my ultimate question is, is can ONE person get a Premium AP (therefore they get the free parking for us and they always purchase the food and the merchandise so we get that discounted too) and the others get the normal Deluxe AP's???
I don't know why we didn't think of this for this year. We'll save an absolute ton!!! There's only 3 of us so we wouldn't be taking the TOO much. But is that allowed anyway? Or am I just thinking we'd be taking advantage of the service? Obviously we'd still not be allowed to go to the Resort on Saturdays (although one would), but we never did anyway.
If anyone could advise me as to whether this plan will work, I'd be extremely greateful!!
