What's going to happen with Annual Passes?

[Notes from Neverland]

It's sort of surprising we haven't heard more insiders/sites mention whether existing passholders should renew their passes before the changes roll out. Seems like info is known, but this is a critical point for some who have passes expiring sooner than later.

If your rich enough to come to disney for multiple weeks a year you will still come if you want to. Just because you cant save money anymore wont chamge that.

I dont think credit card visitors are the ones coming for weeks and weeks.

Lol…I just saw this.

frequent travel to wdw with a timeshare and an AP is far from “rich”….

my god…have we lost our way when it comes to this poorly run company?

There’s no “leaks” in billions of dollars of sales…

…that’s reserved for imagineering rumors of things that never had a chance to be built.

Bump to say-
Makes sense to announce something soon to leverage against all the dislike for the Genie announcement…
Anyone know anything about what this is going to look like yet?
Will AP be compatible with a genie?

The only thing still on “covid freeze”…can’t think that it’s a coincidence

New price for platinum and includes genie?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

New price for platinum and includes genie?

No way…don’t see any “included” scenario coming.

New price for platinum and includes genie?

No way. They might throw you a bone and give you a couple, but there is no way they will lock it in. They didn't do it in DL.

 

[KaliSplash]

Is this a trick question? They are going to cost more and provide less access.

Doubt it will include Genie, and if it does, I remember in 2019 when I bought an AP it was like $800 on Sam's but like $400 more on the official Disney site. Just giving a heads up just incase they ever come to Sam's again, the discount was pretty substantial.

Compatible? Absolutely. Included? Absolutely not.

If you want Genie, you’ll pay just like everyone else.

 

[SoFloMagic]

They didn't do it in DL.

Wasn't it $125 to add max pass for the year? Or included with the top pass? I wouldn't be surprised to see the levels shuffle a bit and see the top one include this.

Was being the operative term. As disjointed as the announcements have all been, the order seems deliberate. Suspension of all domestic perks and benefits -> trickling out benefits for domestic resorts that no longer applied to all resorts -> DL AP replacement program -> Fastpass replacement -> WDW Annual Pass update/(replacement?)

They ended that.

and they’d never throw that kinda bone to wdw anyway

Hey all, question: do we think Disney will add AP back this year? I'm going to do a 5 day pass in January because I'm running the marathon. However, I'm also doing a longer, 7-day trip next fall. If I could, I'd like to just get an AP and try to squeeze in a few smaller trips next year as well. But if that doesn't seem likely to happen, I might as well just buy tickets through Undercover Tourist and not worry about upgrading to AP when it's reintroduced.

Just looking for some advice if anyone has any. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

The announced about 2 weeks ago when Disneyland’s news passes we’re announced that wdw would be unveiled “later this month” and they would be available “before oct 1”

so an announcement within days with sales to follow in short order

 

[Basil of Baker Street]

Yes. AP will be back by then.

 

[Trauma]

I know no one has any idea for sure but I’m going sept 5 thru the 14.

Do you think I will be able to apply these tickets towards a pass or will it not be available until after I leave?

Yeah yeah…

how about a 12:00 arrival tomorrow, boss?

 

[Trauma]

So I’m not sure I follow what this means.

Are you saying we are getting news at 12 tomorrow ?
