SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

Big, did you add tax to WDW’s price for the AP?

On WDW’s website, when I did a checkout of just the pass at $1,449.00, I have a total of $1,543.19, as 94 dollars in tax was added.

When I added the $99 extra for water fun, got a total of $1,648.62, with 100.60 dollars in tax.

So WDW for both, one just pass and one with water or photo pass add - $4,785.94

At SOG for both just pass and photo pass add - $3900

No tax on the SOG’s price.

So I’m going to buy my 2 AP at Shades. Will save me almost $885 dollars ( it’s 884 and change) over buying directly from Disney, when we are buying one regular and one with the photo pass.

I did. Shades was ~ $50 more pre-tax.
$1549 at WDW, $1596 at Shades.

Right, but you are still saving tax as that $1549 at WDW will give you at total of $1648.62. Versus paying $1596 at Shades. I bought at SOG, as 50 dollars savings will buy me at least a meal. But that’s up to you.

Right, and I will go that route when I buy them, I’m just wondering why the difference.
 


I don’t know, Big. Maybe Disney doesn’t want them to give such a savings on APs, when you buy from the military, but I do know that different ITT offices sometimes have different ticket prices. So I compare.

But I couldn’t find any other, including my own, that sells that out of state only available pass, but SOG. And for me, it seemed to be even a bigger savings, as I saved the tax on my other not adding any extra pass for my daughter.

And I had a typo, as checked my receipt, as I paid 3090 for my two passes, not 3900. And with math I did above, I would have paid Disney 4700 for both of our passes. So a bigger savings I found by buying both at SOG. I got even luckier, as had a very quick, and very knowledgeable CM that, turned our vouchers into our APs the other day.
