Did you see this announcement?? What a fabulous price!

"From October 1 through December 31, 2012, Members will be able to purchase a Walt Disney World Premium Annual Pass for just $399 (that's a savings of $300 off the regular price!)*. Premium Annual Passholders enjoy unlimited admission to four Theme Parks, a year's worth of unlimited access to Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Parks, DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course (greens fees only) and more!"

I wonder if it's because so many DVC members have been complaining that people who stay on property using packages are getting such good deals and it seems like we have to pay almost full price for tickets and dining?? If I could buy these passes in December and then sit on them and not activate them until June, I could get 2 or maybe even 3 trips out of the annual pass. If only I could convince SunshineGuy! This is our summer for a DCL cruise instead of a big DisneyWorld visit.
