Florida residents trying to figure out how their Florida Resident Theme Park Select Pass works

Interested to see what the reaction is to this...

Any price changes on existing passes?

 

[Rodan75]

This actually seems like a good option. MDE just improved the calendar for Black out days.

Given that Disney has been bending over backwards to get AP holders through the turnstile, I would bet no....until February anyway.

I just hope they continue the 13 for 12 promotion they did last year.

 

[disneygeek90]

What the hell does this even mean?! Could they make this any more complicated? No thanks, I'll be keeping my gold.

 

[JohnD]

Maybe these changes explain why MDE is down right now. They're incorporating these changes into it.

Let's say you're a Silver Passholder, and you purchase the add-on. While still a Silver Passholder with the add-on, do you now get access to the TSL Passholder event for Gold and up? Something tells me the answer is still "No".

I don't even know how that's really worth it, too. If you're going to spend $89 on the add-on, just buy the gold. I don't think it's really "saving" you anything much going that route.

It will be interesting what Florida residents are offered next year, and what prices overall will do in February (and possibly next August as well).

Huh?

You know what they say, "The devil is in the details." I'll have to look through them. Currently, I'm a Silver passholder which best meets my needs. I'll spare you the details but as a State Employee on a Fiscal Year that runs July 1 - June 30, my busy time is over the summer. Plus too hot and large crowds. I can do without the summer anyway.

 

[JohnD]

Huh?

He means that Disney typically raises ticket prices in February and wonders how that affects the add-ons for August 2019. With SW:GE due to open next year, I think it's a high probability that ticket prices will increase next year.

Exactly, thank you.

I think there's a high probability of prices either rising significantly in February or rising at a lower percentage twice in 2019. I also think there could be changes to the AP structure next year. I just can't shake the feeling that Disney trying to figure out some way to keep a lot of locals out of DHS when SW:GE opens because it's going to be bad enough with just the out-of-town guests.

I can see it, but it doesn't make sense. SW:GE opens late 2019, why risk loosing attendance for the 2/3 of the year, and at the same time the make the rest of the parks (EPCOT) suffer greatly.

I'm with you, it doesn't make sense. But neither does seemingly half (or more) of what TDO/TWDC does at WDW, and that's why I'm fearful. I'm certainly hoping I'm wrong.

I guess if they were crafty, they would keep the percentage increase consistent with what they've done previously, however blackout September through January for gold and silver at DHS to force pass upgrades or offer upcharge passes for access to blackout dates. AP's sustain the very profitable festivals at EPCOT and keep that park on the map.

 

[Gringrinngghost]

Congrats Disney, I see you have figured out a way to make Blackouts an Upcharge event. I will keep my Silver tier pass for now.

So $89 dollars gets FL res a whole extra month of access?

So glad I am paying thousands for my family to go for a lousy week this summer
