Ideas of New Perks for Passholders

[KG_WDW]

While I love being a passholder, I feel like Disney could do a little bit more. So I made a list of some ideas I thought would be interesting and I'd love to hear other opinions, too.

• Special complimentary after hours events exclusively for Passholders
• Seasonal free snack vouchers. For pretzels, Mickey ice cream sandwiches, churros, etc.
• Discounts on quick service restaurants and festival food booths
• Free or extra discount merchandise vouchers
• Just like how we can personalize the digital ticket/pass design on MDE, we can also personalize what sound plays when we tap into a park entrance.
• Include Lightning Lane within Annual Passes. Alternatively, give Passholders lightning lanes for attractions, which can be used once per attraction after a certain time in the day. Similar to Universal Orlando Passholders getting Express after 4pm
• Passholder Celebration button
• Permanent Passholder lounges, one in each park and Disney Springs. All indoors/air conditioned.
• A free night at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and/or Jollywood Nights.

Also another idea I had, though not exclusive to Passholders, but Coca-Cola Freestyle machines around the parks. Surprised they haven't done this yet. So convenient at Universal, ijs

I'd love to see 30% off Lighting Lane Multipass and Premier Pass for APs.

Also I'd like to see the 2pm reservationless entry rule for passholders changed to being after 12:00pm on Weekdays and all-day on Weekends and some Holidays, and that includes Magic Kingdom daily.

They used to give free photopass.

Disneyland still gives discounts at all the QS for Magic Key - including Starbucks.

Of course the Joffrey’s discount is really nice at WDW

So you don’t have to take 30 seconds to make a reservation?

I'd also be down for that

Agreed. Especially including the weekend at MK. That was always such a weird caveat to me

Wait really?? I didn'y know Disneyland gave magic keys quick service discounts. WTH, WDW?

Disney hates their passholders, so you'll get none of those.

 

[Baron Von Capybara]

How about passholder exclusive picnic baskets and priority seating when you arrive with said basket.

I think AP holders should get some free guest tickets to use through the year.

Reservations should be done away with entirely. There is no longer a need for them.

Oh I agree but taking the time to make a reservation is so painless it’s not really an issue for me.

I was just sent Disney's official response.

What?? You are asking a lot from Disney. Be happy with what they hand out to you. Geesh, you're thinking Dis is appreciative of your loyalty and should reward that?

 

[Br0ckford]

You'll get your magnet and be happy.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Why would they give incentives for locals? They already view you as “lost revenue”

…and yet still completely stupid and a bad look

…and yet still completely stupid and a bad look

It's basically "Know your place, passholders. Oh wait the parks aren't filling up....passholders look... good to go day, no need for reservations, we love you so much"
