Out of state annual pass holders

[Sirwalterraleigh]

This needs to be treated as a completely non emotional math problem. How many times are you planning on going and what is the cost per day of your ticket doing each admission pathway. If the AP is cheaper, get it, if not don’t. Also if you do get it do not delude yourself into thinking booking more trips will save you money, it’s simply spending more money slightly more efficiently.

I live in WI, I’m currently a DLR Magic Key Holder and I rotate between WDW, Universal Orlando, and DL. I purchase my AP for the year in late October. On that AP I will go in late October, early December, late January/early February, May/June and early October. I’m blessed with lots of days off so I know I’m not normal, but APs are still cost effective for me.

If it wasn’t emotional…then nobody would go there

One thing to remember - the AP does include park hopping. If you usually buy a park hopper that can change the math too.

I’d say eliminating that ridiculous fee (not that you don’t pay for it) from the regular tickets is the key benefit.

If you have an AP…you don’t need to pound parks a day at a time…so park hopping helps blunt the awful weather and relaxes you some.

I don’t even know the last time I did a “full day”…but it was probably like 25 years ago

Still need park reservations for any day before 2pm, but after 2pm you don't. (except where listed below)

• Park Hopper Benefit:
  Once the passholder has entered the park for which they have a reservation, they can then utilize the Park Hopper benefit to visit other parks.
  BUUUT
  
  Magic Kingdom on Weekends:
  While park hopping is generally available at any time, there is an exception for Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays. Passholders need a reservation to enter Magic Kingdom as their first park on those days, even after 2:00 PM.

Thank you for that. I truly appreciate everybody’s help. Thank you so much. Have a magical day.

I would imagine the reservations will be dumped soon.

They’re entirely unnecessary…they’re never “booked”…they’re playing a psychological game here: trying to maintain that the demand is high and that they can engineer their labor down to the penny with cheap tricks like this.

It wont hold. They fired their shot and missed
