Yes one of our trips has friends and they can get them because of the points used to book

Thanks! My initial plan was to buy the ticket and upgrade (if available) once there. If I can just buy the AP ahead of time,

Can we purchase these tickets on the DVC site, the Disney My Experience App, or do we need to call MS? I have a trip planned for the end of May.

I think that we have to call MS.

This must be why there has been a near constant busy signal for MS for days. When finally able to get through it’s a 60+ minute wait on hold.

Yeah. My experience tracked that as well. I had previously purchased 6-day tickets for my kids, so I called DVC member services to inquire about getting those swapped out for the promotion to see if I could get a refund or credit for the difference. After waiting around 50 min, they said I was eligible to purchase the promotion, but would have to call the actual ticket line for help with swapping it out with my current ticket purchase.

So I called that line and waited over 1.5 hours to get through over there. They told me they couldn't do a swap and give me the difference, but they *could* refund my entire original ticket purchase but then I would have to call DVC back to repurchase!

Went ahead and did that, waiting another 60 min on hold waiting for DVC (and about 15 retries due to a busy signal) *again* in order to re-purchase.

All worked out in the end and I saved about $370, but geez it literally took me half the day!
