BIG mistake.

Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x Well, the payment plan is up on the boards at the ticket booths!! I called yesterday, and they told me it was postponed again. So, I'll be doing it in January after payday. And we'll probably stay here at HoJo again...I love it here!!

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Okay now the policy is suppose to be SoCal passes only - but my son is in DL right now and called me and told me they are letting his GF make payments on her renewed AP even knowing she lives in N.Cal - they would not let her get a SoCal pass because she's in N.Cal.
Originally Posted By Darkbeer The offer is now listed on every Ticket Window Menu, and advertised on the Billboards next to the Security Checks, and at the end of the Ticket Buildings. All 4 AP types are eligible for the Monthly Payment plan, but all the ads/signage state that the AP holder needs to live in the Southern California ara.
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains I asked my son about the S.Cal thing - he said they made it clear they lived up here! The guy told my son in Jan he could renew his. Again my son said he was in N.Cal and the guy said no problem. My guess is they got someone not following the rules - but his GF is set up on the payment plan - it was $69 down (her one day ticket she already had) and $16 dollars every 25 days.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer No, the Birthday Fun Card is only good for most merchandise, Disney's PhotoPass on-site services, and tour experiences.

Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x I think she meant the free admission, and as far as I understood.. yes, if you use a birthday pass to get into Disneyland you can use that as a down payment for an annual pass. Whether or not you can combine that with the monthly payments, I do not know.
Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney Yes Princess you are right. I was asking if the free birthday admission to Disneyland park can be used as the down payment for the AP payment plan. Darkbeer, do you know if that free park ticket in can be used as the down for the annual payments?
