What's going to happen with Annual Passes?

[Zummi Gummi]

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.

I would think that’s a good assumption.

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.

Definitely worth mentioning. A couple things to note -

- Park Reservations will still be required, passholders can reserve up to 3 days at a time.

- they refer to it as an “annual pass membership”

Any change in price?

Ah yes, a magic key that likely limits benefits and restricts access to the parks to prioritize higher spending non-locals to boost quarterly earnings but in the long run will deter locals -the financial backbone of the west coast resort- How magical!

I'm speculating here --- With Magic Key being announced for DL tomorrow, I'm going to guess that AP sales will resume for both American parks within the next 1-2 weeks.

Apparently, Disneyland details coming tomorrow for “Magic Key”. Interesting name - and to me it kind of seems incomplete or lacking from a product perspective.

Disneyland's New Annual Pass Program to be Called "Magic Key", Details Tomorrow

The name is a "nostalgic" throwback to the Magic Kingdom Club program. Those tickets were called Magic Keys because they were good on any attraction. So a 7 ticket book was like having 7 E-tickets, instead of the normal distribution.

Perhaps a person gets a certain number of "keys" that can be used along with other benefits common for the AP program (discounted merch, F&B, a magnet, etc).

Disney playing the nostalgia card in search of money? Color me shocked.

it's not 80s epcot or figment so everyone's self-aware

can’t wait to see how much more it’ll cost and how much less you get.

Yes! My dad would buy them at the base-military discount. It was SOOO great to have a book full of E-tickets-- instead of going to mom's nightstand and digging out a bunch of old books with all the E-tickets gone. All you had were A's, B's and a couple of C's. How many times can you ride the Main Street vehicles?

Once this system rolls out in Disneyland, it's coming to florida. You would be foolish to think the APs you have will last much longer.

WDW is a whole different ballgame.

No the asian parks are a different ballgame because Disney is not in charge of those, WDW is Disneyland's overweight little kid brother. You are a fool if you think this is not coming to Disney World also.

Then consider me a fool.

Disney World doesn't have the "too many passholders" problem. Just look at how the two products were priced pre-pandemic for proof. Why would WDW APs include more parks but be less expensive for locals than Disneyland passes if Disney was concerned about WDW having too many passholders?

I'm sure the price of WDW APs will go up, but they're not trying to thin the AP herd like Disneyland.

$$$$$$$ is the answer you are looking for.

80% of Disneyland visitors live within 100 miles and 50% of visits to Disneyland are AP visits. Oh, and the estimate is that there are 1 million Disneyland AP holders. The WDW attendees are a completely different mix.

LOL um no. Disneyland gets visitor from all over the world also. Always has since the day it opened.

Did I say they didn’t get visitors from all over the world? Of course they do. However, 80% of visitors are from Southern California. Sorry if that fact is inconvenient for you.
