Yes, usually, but like all rates, they are based on availabilityI am looking at a couple mini Disney trips in 2020. I was thinking about buying annual passes for me and my daughter. Is the hotel discount better than the special rates that are offered to the public?
The AP discounts are usually 5-10% better than what is offered as the regular general public discount. For example, the general public may have an offer for 25% off. The AP discount would likely be 30%-35% off.I am looking at a couple mini Disney trips in 2020. I was thinking about buying annual passes for me and my daughter.

Nowadays, everything is in MDE, so the CMs can see that you have an AP. As such, "showing" the AP when you arrive may not even be necessary. When I've checked in, they already knew I had an activated AP. I've taken a peek at what they can see and the first thing that shows up is "Platinum AP" and the expiration date.I have a room booked with an AP rate and my daughters are joining me. They do not have APs. Can they check in before me? I can stop at the desk when I get in show my AP. Will this be an issue or should they wait until I get there?
