What's going to happen with Annual Passes?

[Sirwalterraleigh]

The State of Florida has instituted "freedom week" for July 1 - 7 which "will allow people to avoid paying sales taxes on tickets purchased for such things as live music, athletic contests, in-theater movies, cultural events and entrance to museums and state parks."

In the linked article below, here's the money quote: "Tickets could be purchased during the week for events that occur later in the year, including annual passes."

Wouldn't it be great if WDW started selling APs again beginning tomorrow to tie in with Florida's "freedom week"?

State readies for ‘Freedom Week’ tax holiday

Tax breaks on live music, athletic contests, movies, and others begin July 1.

It would be great….

there’s a 0.000000000000% chance of happen in’ though

“freedom week”…what a clown show that state has become

I was able to get a new AP in March after cancelling my previous one (purchased in March 2020) in August.

That’s a covid cancel…not really the question on this thread.

It was more directed at whoever said you can get a new AP but the clock started ticking immediately after your previous one expired. But you are correct. My guess new AP’s will be available… as soon as they figure out how much to jack prices up without killing a golden goose.

…kill the goose. It’s “outlived it’s usefulness”

That goose continues to lay eggs on a regular basis.

Until the next downturn and they need locals / APs to visit the parks to prop things up. oh wait, I forgot, the Bob’s don’t look that far ahead, or have any foresight.

Hence the 22% increase in 2019.

Increase in?

Too many safety nets these days, as you’re well aware. The Gubmint can’t allow a bottom to happen anymore because they have to “do something”. Idiots.

Anywho… I’m guessing the Platinum pass hits $1500, minimum, probably $1700 for the P-Plus. Even gold will likely hit $999. They just don’t get it.

Increase in?

The cost of a non-Florida Resident Platinum Pass. I want to say it was $850 at some point in 2019 then jumped to $1200.

$894 to $1119 on March 13, 2019.

I'll say this for him, he's consistent.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) clip with quote I'll say this for him, he's consistent. Yarn is the best search for video clips by quote. Find the exact moment in a TV show, movie, or music video you want to share. Easily move forward or backward to get to the perfect clip.

Disney is not selling product at the mall…

they have a different formula for success. Two questions:

1. “What can we charge?”
2. “What should we charge to make even more later?”

slaphead fell asleep before he read question 2 in his transition packet…

so did Iger…for that matter.

I thought he ran out of the classroom after question 1 was posted on the board.

Disneyland Paris resumes annual pass sales as of 7/15, according to their website.

This probably means nothing for here, but it seemed worth mentioning.

Announced after revealing paid fastpass. I would think annual pass sales will be announced around the same time fastpass return is announced for WDW and DL.
