>>Once Disneyland and DCA finally reopen, passholders may not be able to get into the parks for weeks and even months depending on how quickly tickets sell out.
“This makes no sense. Like at all,” wrote @ethermac on Twitter. “Legacy passholders get no type of early access for tickets? Like nothing at all?”<<
>>Disney CEO Bob Chapek said long-distance travelers that book multiple-night stays and spend more in Disney parks are “more valuable” than annual passholders.
“Typically someone who travels and stays for five days to seven days is marginally more valuable to the business than someone who comes in on an annual pass and stays a day or two and consumes less merchandise and food and beverage,” Chapek said in August during an earnings call.
Disneyland officials won’t say how many people had annual passes, but theme park industry observers estimate the number to be 1 million.
“Disneyland got rid of APs specifically because the pent-up demand of 1,000,000 passholders would monopolize the reopened parks’ reservation system for months,” Park Lore theme park blogger Brian Krosnick wrote on Twitter. “Of course Legacy Passholders don’t get priority. That’s sort of the point of getting rid of the AP program.”<<
