Ewww, no thank you. There’s a big difference between a small, hidden club most people don’t know about and a famous historic theme park that was meant to be affordable and accessible to the entire world. Anyone who can afford to spend a required minimum to gain access to an invite to be a freaking AP holder so that they can *gag* spend the required minimum to please their Mouse Lord again and again… Well, that person can afford to buy a day ticket as many times as they want anyway.
I, personally, would love to see all AP’s eliminated permanently. Just offer reasonably priced, non-transferrable, multi-day Flex Passes like they used to. It worked great. It’s hard for the youngsters to believe, but a trip to Disneyland used to be so affordable that the average local could easily take their family a couple of times a year, and even a low-paid Universal employee like myself could go solo a couple times a month. Before APs existed.
Kids have no idea how insanely better Disneyland used to be in every way except the burgers.
Before the dark times. Before the (spits it out) Empire.
