Good deal. I think we can expect to see more like this coming. I’m a bit confused as to why it’s just Florida residents. Are they finding that local attendance is way down?

I think just who they are targeting with this specific deal - and with the fact they have the whole time to use the tickets vs within a few days ... more for people that were not planning to come but are local and can use this a day here and a day there

Only when needed to pump up park attendance/PGS.

IMO these type incentives are not going to move the needle because they don't give the guest any perceivable value, but rather are just trial baloons to test to see how many more levers will need to be pulled later on.

Wake me up when they start playing with APs.

But at this point, there is probably a not insignificant percentage of guests that won't be coming back anytime soon regardless of the discounts or incentives.

Genuinely curious, what do you believe this would look like? Just cheaper cost or something else?

At this point they can't justify raising any ticket prices. It would be a complete disaster for them. (I sooo hope they do this BTW)

With regards to the AP, probably an extra month or couple of months thrown on for free on top of a 12 month pass.

I know they've done this before, just don't remember if it was an extra month or two. But that was when APs were almost half the cost of what they are now.

So for me at this point, they'd have to make it at least an extra 3 months free on a 12 month pass (15 month AP).

See it is valid from Aug 1 to Sept 29th - any reason this might indicate Journey of Water won't open until after that?

You think JOW is going to bring them in?

After a week or two, hopefully someone with a functioning brain at Disney is going to be wondering why they tore down a building and spent so much money engineering and building this waste.

Agree - next year is going to be crucial for the parks on how they play with APs. Universal will undoubtedly increase prices as a result of Epic, so will WDW follow or will they be forced to incentivize APs who may or may not consider renewing and switching to UOR passes?

Most APs are held by locals and DVC members. I've always thought USO attendance mix was more locals than Disney, probably with APs. Additionally USO has in the past always seemed to value their AP holders much more than Disney.

DVC members are pretty much locked into Disney APs, locals wanting to try something new may forgo the Disney AP entirely.
