    Wow, are you a cast member too now Craig? DH used to be a cast member. We used the CM discount to buy into DVC. Now that was worth doing!

    Hi Darren

    The premium annual pass covers water parks. See...

    http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/passholder/learnMore?id=PassholderLearnMorePage&bhcp=1

    We're annual passholders and save a phenomenal amount. On our latest pass we've worked out that we're going to use it so often each use works out at £5.60.

    Can i ask what calculation you have used to get that figure ?

    Is it against one day tickets ?

    It depends how many days you go into Disney parks for.

    If I pay $500 for my AP and I go to the parks 50 times then it's cost $10 per visit.

    I'm guessing that's how vivatifosi has worked it out (that's how I work mine out anyway!)

    Thanks Karen, that's precisely how I worked it out.

    Not quite - our friends are and they can buy them for us.

    If I did work for them I could never work in the MK, would spoil the magic!

    Ok thought so...

    I suppose the multiday tickets can distort that figure...but a annual pass looks good value..

    Do the UK disney stores sell this product ?

    Also if i buy online what happens ? They email me a ticket that i have to exchange for a proper one at Disney world with a photo ?

    Thanks all

    You can't buy them at the Disney store in the UK. You can buy them online and get a voucher to exchange them at the gate, or you can just rock up at Guest services outside the park on your first day and buy them then (advantage of the former over the latter if the price goes up after you've bought it you don't have to pay extra!)
