My family has a VIP Main Entrance pass (or lifetime pass)

[kamluvsdisneyland]

I can confirm that a ticket can be printed at the turnstiles at Disneyland and California Adventure because when my nephew signed me in to the parks, a ticket was printed out for me so I could use it to get FastPasses. (Obviously there are no FastPasses now. And I haven't been to the CA parks since before the pandemic.)

Ive never seen anyone else with one so I figured I'd answer any questions if you have any

Do you know how to link it to the reservation system we have one But can’t figure it out

I have only gone to Disneyland which isn't requiring reservations for park entry for the red pass. In terms of reserving a virtual queue for the rides, we were able to scan the tickets after we got them in the morning and then do the 12:00 reservation slots.

I've been to Disneyland via a red VIP pass so I can confirm they are real. They are just *very* rare. I think there are less than 10 of them. To give context, the one I experienced was issued to the man who voices Goofy.

The only time I have ever heard of the infamous Lifetime Silver pass was during the Epcot Grand Opening Ceremony...A family recieved it from Card Walker and yet I wonder if the family still has this illusive pass...Shown here..

Are you talking about a Red VIP pass?

Right, maybe his grandmother would have gotten one. She would have had to have been old enough to own land when Walt was buying land in the early 1950s. That would put her in at least her early 90s right now. Dad has the card at his house. So, he rolls over, scoops up his mom, and rolls over to DL with her so she can scan her card? I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying I don't believe it. I like the story, though, it's nice.

I knew a woman whose aunt leased land to Disney for part of the original parking lot at Disneyland. Many of her family members, which included the niece, were issued red passes. The land owner struck a smart deal by including perks for other family members.

And is it transferable to heirs?

The Disney of back then was in many ways an old boys club, where there were rules for thee but not for me.

While a red pass issued now is likely non transferable, I wouldn't be surprised if Walt or Roy agreed to let a pass be passed down to heirs as part of a deal to obtain land they wanted for Disneyland.

Sadly with the Genie+ the value of free entry to the parks dropped. How many rides could you actually get in a day if you were relegated to stand by for every attraction.

Is having this minor perk more than 50% of your personality?

A few passes include admittance to the paid fastpass queue. Not saying this one would have been upgraded but I wouldn’t be shocked.

I wonder how many times those pass-holders have to wait for a CM to contact their lead to contact their supervisor to verify it's a real thing and not something made up.

Not often. Main entrance CMs are trained on Red VIP passes.

That's very cool...I've spoken to someone in sales who worked in Florida that was part of an organization I worked with who voiced the baby bear in the Country Bear's Jamboree but that was a time ago...
