Thanks, so it’s safe to say there no thread about Florida cancelling wdw ap thread? Weird because something like that I thought I would hear here first than on radio.

So mine expired two months ago but I never heard rumors till now or I would’ve naturally renewed.
Although possible, I don't think WDW will completely stop sales, at least not now. AP's are not the problem that they are in Anaheim. Disneyland is a basically a local park and it is overrun with local people. That area contains millions of people and they tend to go there, in some cases, every single day that they allow them to go. That causes high expense ratio to maintain everything and staff sufficiently when Disney is making very little per day to provide that entertainment venue for them. If the average cost of an AP is $1000 per year and they can use them say 300 days a year that means that Disney gets less then $3.50 per day per guest. The rest of us pay about $100. per day. How many go that many days, I'm sure is not huge, but it is probably possible. And the best thing is that those that go that often have a very small chance that they are buying food (that's what backpacks are for) or constantly buying bling. They are there for the social aspect only. I would take a guess that the average AP'er probably sugars off at about $35.00 per day. Disney has nothing to lose dropping that program because although they won't go as often, Ap'ers will still go and probably spend more then the $1000.00 per year but it will be for a reasonable number of days leaving the park less crowded, the wait times less and everyone (except X-AP holders) quite happy.

I'm so happy for them! I'm sure it's nice to be back home....real home, not temp home. And familiarity. May they have a lot of years to enjoy the house and the family in it!

Thank you so much...sorry, still “ketchupping”...!!! :)
It’s just been such a needlessly long ride, but, especially, for our folks, yet we all made it through, and that is the most important thing...!!!!! :happy:
I’d be lyin’ if I said there hadn’t been some misty in the last few days...!!! ;)

Hi everyone!
It is winter and my daughter is down at college ...and her car(a 2003 VW Beetle) is here with us...not with her.
Therefore I unscrewed her car's antenna tonight so tomorrow afternoon I can put a car cover on her vehicle.
Yet now in the cabin of her car I see a red flashing light that I've never noticed before.
I Google searched "car red flashing light" to confirm what I was thinking.... and yes, it SEEMS like it IS the Anti Theft System.
Probably my unscrewing the antenna caused that?
Should I be concerned?
Some search engines mentioned cars that would not start because of the red flashing anti theft light. Oh no! :(
It's late at night and I don't want to go out there and try it. My wife would notice and just be upset and then she'd have trouble falling asleep.
Naturally I'll try to start it tomorrow...but if it starts...AM I OK to cover her car with a red flashing light?
Next Tuesday when my wife wants to do her planned "drive the car once a week while DD is away at college"....will it start and be fine?
I AM the one who might have trouble sleeping tonight.
All comments are welcome and appreciated! :)

Should be ok. I very much doubt the antenna has anything to do with the light.

The car started this morning. When I turn the key it starts right up. The red blinking stops. If i exit the car and close the door and leave it unlocked there is no blinking. The moment I lock the car with the key phob it starts blinking again...little light next to the lock up pop up and down button on the door. Maybe this light is always blinking...24 / 7 365 days ??? Maybe NOTHING is wrong???
