The reasons why I WILL NOT be purchasing a disney annual pass!!!

[Disneyworldpirate]

Reason #1 ---The United States is entering into a recession

Reason #2 ---Disney Annual Passes are so expensive now that they arent a value anymore

Reason #3 ---Disney is getting rid of classic rides and replacing them with garbage

Reason #4 ---Lightning Lane is gone

Reason #5---Crowds seem bigger than ever

Reason #6---Disney executives have made it quite clear they dont care about true disney fans so why should we support them anymore

Reason #7---They pay their employee bad wages while the executives make WAY too much money

Reason #8---Other parks are offering better deals

Annual pass?! Why would you go at all?

Waves bye from WDW where we are enjoying wonderful weather and lower crowds after most spring breakers have departed.

We’ll be there in two weeks!

It was really nice at Epcot this past Saturday. It was warmer but the crowds weren’t too bad! It was nice to have that little break before the heat and humidity and summer crowds arrive!

I agree that if it's not fun then it doesn't matter what *kind* of pass you get.

Reason #1 ---The United States is entering into a recession

Didn't stop me post 9/11, 2008/9, or from keeping it during covid.

Reason #2 ---Disney Annual Passes are so expensive now that they arent a value anymore

They've always been expensive.

Reason #3 ---Disney is getting rid of classic rides and replacing them with garbage

That's a matter of taste.

Reason #4 ---Lightning Lane is gone

I literally used it on Sunday

Reason #5---Crowds seem bigger than ever

Yes. Disney markets effectively.

Reason #6---Disney executives have made it quite clear they dont care about true disney fans so why should we support them anymore

It's been like that for decades

Michael Eisner, 1981: "To make money is our only objective."

Reason #7---They pay their employee bad wages while the executives make WAY too much money

Sounds like all of corporate America

Reason #8---Other parks are offering better deals

Eh, debatable. We're UO APs and Universal just feels trashy every time we go.

I take it you didn't get the Pixier Pass.

1. This is speculation.
2. This is subjective. They’re a value to other people, but not to you.
3. Technically partially true: Disney has gotten rid of some classic rides - and will continue to do so. You shouldn’t expect otherwise.
4. What?!
5. Crowds ebb and flow. Go when they ebb.
6. They don’t care about true Disney fans? What has you feeling slighted and entitled? I don’t need companies to demonstrate caring.
7. They pay way higher than FL min wage, I would argue too much for some simple jobs.
8. No other parks are comparable to WDW. The closest to that league is universal, and I don’t see impressive ticket prices outside of some promotions.

Annual pass?! Why would you go at all?

…they’re not gonna get you anything for Mother’s Day

Lightning Lane is gone? Do you mean Fastpass?

While some of your complaints are shared by many here, it sounds like you just came to vent some planning-stage frustration, with little personal knowledge or recent experience, and a baffling distaste for punctuation marks.

You mention in other posts that you were planning visits to WDW anyway: hope you are/were pleasantly surprised by your experience.

 

[Br0ckford]

Lol, ok.

The complaining is over the top…as is the standard patronizing lecturing in response.

Both things can be and are true

It's always refreshing for a kettle like me to meet a pot like you.

So #2,3,6 are linked together. Disney doesn't care about it because it is removing the rides I love and replacing them with ones that are (subjectively) garbage therefore the passes are worth anything anymore. So basically the same complaint since time immemorial.

Lets not forget..

Reason #9 Sam did nothing.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Is there a “katiebug fan club”??

…cause where do I sign up?

 

[Nottamus]

I also won’t be getting an annual pass.

I have to get 2. One for my wife AND me

 

[JIMINYCR]

Cancel another person off the park reservation total. Gets immediately replaced by another family. Dis doesnt notice any difference.

Reason #9— You won’t be there!

Try to have at least a little class.

People are allowed to have their own opinions. You shouldn't get mad at them because they have some negative things to say about your beloved Disney.
