Whatever the New WDW AP program turns out to be, we can be SURE Disney will use its proven formula... Charge more and provide less.

Annual Pass Rumors
- Thread starter mwhite93
- Start date
That’s very true, I just didn’t believe they’d wait until the very last day of the month.
And has there even been any rumblings of a roll out date or even what changes are coming??? I heard potentially getting rid of the gold pass?

Please - repeat after me....
If it is not for SALE? It does not exist. AP is dead. Would LOVE for Disney to prove me wrong.

I tried to pry it out of pest relations in magic kingdom today…they seem as annoyed as the watchers at this point.

The fact that they are still doing renewals seems to indicate they are not completely blowing up the model.

so strange to me. I hear things are rather slow these days yet they alienate the folks that are most likely to visit during the slower times.

Perhaps not blow it up completely; just make it worse, if a platinum even still exists require park pass reservations, remove photopass, perhaps remove the monthly payment option for residents, reduce AP discounts and of course change more.
As I said, whatever we end up with, it will provide less and we will pay more...
And what benefits do you see coming?????
No idea. Just something I heard mentioned.

If that happens, then I wonder about those of us who have one already. My Platinum AP doesn't expire until August 2022 as I renewed it when I was at the parks in June.

Except that Disney have announced they will be available in time for the 50th.
And you can still renew, including upgrade or downgrade as you wish. And that people that fulfil certain criteria have been able to buy new ones.

If they change the AP categories and benefits, I wonder if they will assign us to one of the new tiers that Martin was implying might be happening. That is my concern. It is in the fine print that they can change perks of the program at any time, so that is what will most likely happen. If the new AP tiers are like Disneyland, then I wonder where Platinum APs would fit. No matter, I don't plan on renewing again anyways.

In 2019 I remember AP having a substantial discount through Sam's club compared to the price at the time. It's a shame you now can only get them exclusively through the mouse and gamble if it's worth it or not since we don't know what they will come up with. In 2020, with my AP it was completely worth the discount (staying at pop for like $110 in August) but with these inflated prices, it's just not worth it anymore.

I’m thinking they may get rid of parking. I received a survey in an email with this question:
We always stay on site so parking isn’t a deal breaker for us.

I wish they would send me a survey. We stay on site too so parking not included would not matter. I have yet to book under a passholder rate for a room since I rent DVC points instead. I notice that they have not included dining discounts as an option.
