Just to remove any ambiguity and avoid any confusion that might result in you making a bad purchasing decision, I want to be clear that I was just trolling him since he says the same thing about FL residents. every. single. time.

I kind of want to see an episode of Survivor that's just him and the guy who always posts the asphalt picture whenever anyone says anything nice about Joe Rhode.

From what I've heard, they're actually planning to LOWER the price of FL resident APs when they do this and in part, make up the difference with the other price hikes. 😳

Then they'd have to severely limit the sale of it to prevent nightmare scenarios for all guests involved during the busiest times of day so of course, they'd never offer it that way unless it was a LOT more expensive than $50.

Oh, just wait until they see it start to impact new DVC sales...

I knew the NBA Experience was short-lived. I didn't realize it was only around for seven months. I wonder who it was that completely lost their butts in that deal.

Plus gratuity ;)

It's only a train wreck for the people that don't choose to pony up. ... and perhaps a future management team that has to figure out how to lure back the formerly lifetime-loyal guests they turned off along with a generation of young adults that come from those people who didn't grow up with...

Yeah, unfortunately, even with the logic that the multipass represents someone who otherwise would have been a ll and now isn't in that bucket, since their usage would be expected to be significantly higher with the biggest impact felt on the most popular attractions it works on, you'd likely...

Yeah, as a system people are paying additional for, I am too. But both Steve and Len have reported as much and I have complete faith in their knowledge of such things.

I'll defer to @lentesta here who has actual data on this and has confidently stated this multiple times.

Except the average for LL is under 3 per day due to attraction inventory presented and return times. That throws your idea of how this would work all out of wack when most people aren't even getting 3 attractions out of the current system.

No way they'd ever price it that low. Again, Universal's most basic single-park express pass can be up to $289.99 (plus tax) per day. And that's in parks that you don't really need a skip-the-line system for on most days.

Up to ten guests but what's the average guest group size visiting the parks? If you're a family of four, or say, a Disney adult couple, they have a whole lot of runway for pricing that won't compete with the VIP tours, at all.

Oh, I'm not talking about inventory. I'm talking about the Disney tax. If volume were a real concern to them, they could just limit the number available per day like Universal does. Universal doesn't limit their usage by pricing guests out*, they just slap up that proverbial "sold out" sign...

If it were to replace the existing system, I'd agree. Otherwise, I'd say the current system has already crippled standby lines and adding anything else on top (especially if with the current system, people are averaging under 3 uses per day and this is offering potentially every attraction in a...

Universal's lowest tier of express pass is between $89.99 and $289.99 per day, depending on the day, in parks that are much less crowded. It seems unlikely that Disney would be pricing this at $200 or less per day.

The bigger question is what percent of Universal guests are paying for Express Pass. There are two Express Pass products. The Universal equivalent of moderate and deluxe tier guests get the more expensive unlimited pass included "free" for every guest in their party. (no way Disney would offer...
