News New Disney World Annual Pass Promotion Cuts Down Payment in Half for Florida Residents

[Sirwalterraleigh]

That was 2016 if I am not mistaken where they gave away an extra month.

That scans…because people who have made a lot of money booking travel said they started hearing “discounts are obscelete” around 2017

This is absolutely laughable.

If they really wanted to discount APs, they would just do it instead of this silly shell game.

Yeah that will move the needle and get people back...

Same awful price just spread out more at higher monthly payments.

Not sure if they actually want people on the park; the APs have a lot of blackouts and need PPRs; I think they they just want more locals to purchase APs (and not use them) for the revenue.

Of course…it’s just banking money upfront

And maybe sell a few more pretzels on the lower demand days

But in old school…I can remember when an annual pass actually got you in the parks…

Even the peasants from Florida straight out of the brick pits

As a note of improvement, I just renewed our APs for the upcoming year and for the first time was complete via the phone in less that 15 minutes to the point it they were visible on MDE. They have at least improved the process if not the systems integration to the point where the cast member doing the work isn't struggling. Just last year using the AP team it took literally 45 minutes over the phone.

Do they have more levers to pull if they need to if they are really trying to get APs to renew or new people to purchase them?

Someone check on Donnie

Because anyone with even half a functioning neuron between their ears knows that there is no actual savings.

There’s a slight savings when you account for the time value of money, but yeah, it’s marginal.

Don't spend that savings all in one place.

Two I can think of. One I can see happening if non-FL bookings are or continue to be soft. I doubt their collective ego will allow them to resort to the second one.

Going back to extra months included or discounts possibly?
