If you don't like it, don't renew the AP. But to my knowledge the MVMCP or the Halloween one has never been included. Same for any other special event.....
Personally, I don't mind the OCCASIONAL hard-ticket event, However MVMCP is now running 4 nights per week significantly reducing the chance of an ordinary guest to enjoy the MK at night during the holidays. My earlier comment was based on all the 'special' parades and events are part of the normal entertainment at all other Disney Parks during the holidays - hence my 'cash grab' comment.
The Merch yes that is unique to the event but recently even it's been reduced to a few overpriced T-shirts $29.95 for a really THIN T I don't think so - DW and I were at last years and we skipped the merch - not worth it.
And no AP or DVC has never had free admission to the hard ticket events.
