Did you ask why WDW hasnt had an AP event in 5 years when DL has them every other week?
One of the questions asked me what additional benefits might make me more likely to renew (as I had indicated I was unlikely to renew). That question had a space for me to write anything I chose, and I mentioned more frequent annual passholder events and/or park time before opening and after closing.
I specifically chose not to compare to Disneyland for the simple reason that WDW's AP is currently a far better deal than Disneyland's, at least for the top level pass that I have. Disneyland's pass gives you access to two parks every day of the year, plus parking, for $1,049. WDW's top level pass gives you access to four theme parks, two water parks, a golf course, and Wide World of Sports every day of the year, plus parking, for $829. I wasn't going to say anything to suggest that Disneyland's more frequent passholder events and better merch and dining discounts justify charging 25% more for admission to less attractions. Indeed, if I pay $150 for TiW, the dining discounts at WDW are far better than at Disneyland, and I only need to purchase one TiW, rather than adding it to all passes.
