It definitely seems odd. But that’s what the survey question said. I missed it the first time, since it’s (purposefully) in smaller and lighter text. But at the bottom of the question it says (This discount is applied to the full price of an Annual Pass only. Your ticket value cannot be...

Nor did I say I did. Simply asking where you saw that these were being sent to current AP holders. In @monothingie’s post (the first one I can see in this thread), I didn’t see anything that mentioned these were sent to APs. Genuinely curious.

Where are you seeing that these surveys are going to current AP holders? The ones I’ve seen referenced have gone to those who have current trips planned with regular tickets, asking them if they’d be interested in planning another trip this year if they could purchase a discounted AP.

Somewhere, a Disney art intern is firing up the ol’ clone tool, ready to make the last vestiges of DinoLand USA disappear.

Another wrinkle, albeit one I haven’t seen confirmed anywhere else. In his latest post about this survey, Tom Bricker specifically mentioned that you would not be able to upgrade tickets to these discounted APs, meaning you wouldn’t be able to apply the ticket value to the discounted APs. If...

But just to be clear, this appears to be a survey question to somebody who does not have an AP, but has a trip planned with a regular ticket, asking whether they’d be interested in upgrading to an AP if it were cheaper. This does not seem to be suggesting a discount for all new APs and APs...

Completely OT, but since my daughter worked at a Crumbl last summer, I asked her about this. She personally made the cookie doughs from flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking soda, etc. She did say they use “special flavors” from time to time for particular cookies (like Biscoff flavored power) to...

Apologies if my hyperbole was too … hyperbolic

These type of articles always make me chuckle. It's a pretty typical summary of most engineering efforts. Management wants miracles with pennies, and creatives want the biggest, shiniest cool stuff. I've been a part of similar acts of tug-of-war on every large project. And at different times...

Will this have staying power, or have an extremely limited lifespan, just to be another addition to the latest Defunctland video? Let’s hope the former.

As with every increase in Disney’s planning process complexity, I wonder what third party applications will spring up to assuage perceived concerns about dynamic pricing? I’m sure Mr. @lentesta and his gang are already planning an addendum to the Crowd Calendar to predict the optimum time to...

Re: YouTubeTV, you have to chuckle at the “we’re not going to discuss ongoing negotiations” one minute, then ending the call with a discussion of the ongoing negotiations (albeit a one-sided “discussion”).

Yup. The “fewer people paying more” strategy continues to work.

Duh to me. You’re absolutely right. So then the phone is less than reliable for on ride pics.

I’ve really enjoyed the (albeit limited) interactions afforded by the MB+ bands. Would be unfortunate to see those stop. And getting my Apple Watch to remotely/automatically link with on ride photos has been hit or miss. I tend to wear both watch and band.
