Living close by and having pretty good job flexibility, IF we were to do one it would likely be Imagine but yeah, really hard to tell at this point given we don't know blockout dates yet. I could justify this given our plan was to go twice a year. Imagine would make sense financially.
Yes please, it's getting out of hand. Or maybe Disney can just claim any videos filmed in their parks. That would stop the problem.
Which is why I never park in their lots. I found enough ways around it, that I visited with my Flex pass around 30 times, never having paid to park. My favorite was taking OCTA bus for $4 round trip, which went from Laguna Hills right to the entrance in under an hour.
The reason they will never limit the vloggers, is because the vloggers provide Free Advertising and Hype. It would be insane for them to restrict the vloggers from providing that service.
that was my thought! That $400 will be super popular for people...these prices won't stop a large percentage of people from going like Disney was rumored to have wanted.
Which is why I bought it without hesitation. If I had a Deluxe pass already, I would have been ed.
exactly...until Disney says, it's all fun to guess...
Oh. So it’s….the Disneyland AP program.Here's what has come Mike's way -
"Dream Key – $1399
The Dream Key is the highest tier and the only tier that includes parking. In addition, the Dream Key will include 6 reservations at a time, booked 90 days in advance. There will be 20% off of merchandise in this tier and 15% off select food and beverages. There will be no block out dates for the Dream Key, but reservations may be unavailable based on crowds and reservations are required for entry.
Believe Key – $949
The Believe Key is the second-highest tier and includes 50% off of theme park parking. The Believe Key will include 10% off of merchandise and 10% off of select food and beverages. The Believe Key will include 6 reservations at a time. There will be blockout dates on some days of the year.
Enchant Key – $699
The Enchant Key is the second-lowest tier and includes up to four theme park reservations at a time. The Enchant Key will include 10% off of food, beverages, and merchandise. There will be more blockouts than the Believe Key.
Imagine Key – $399
The Imagine Key is the lowest tier pass and will allow Magic Key holders to hold up to 2 theme park reservations at a time. Just like the Enchnant and Imagine Keys, the Imagine Key will include 10% discounts.
All tiers will be required to make theme park reservations, which can be made up to 90 days in advance."

Disney can do that through the # of reservations available as well as blockouts. I wonder whether they will have a different block for each level, or if it's a free for all.
Disney didn't want people to stop going. Disney wants to control when and how often they go.
The only blocked dates on the Flex were the 2 weeks at end of year.
Not really. Hybird of old and flex pass system.
Do internet videos make someone visit more or does it allow them to get their fix online so they visit less?
The post alluded to increased number of blockout dates based on each pass. I think it's safe to assume that the less you pay, the more blockout dates.
Only if you think they will ever run out of daily passes. I guess we’ll see how they do that.
Well, that is the goal of the sunsetting...to give them a clean slate and control attendance.
They were more an internal reference code than something that was supposed to be readable for guests. For guests, they didn't expire so they didn't really need to be dated. There are similar numbers on other types of ephemera. If they put a date on it, then if the month or year changed, they'd have to update them instead of just running a new print job. Undated, and they could just reuse the same thing if the prices and list of attractions didn't change. So even if we assume that was a September update indicator, it could have been from several months after. But it gets us close enough for inflation calculations.
It's a de facto limit on visits. If you're booking reservations at 90 days out and you can only book 6 days at a time, that's essentially 24 clicks per year.
