Northern California

Post by wonderland » Jun Mon 16, 2008 3:43 pm

I have a premium pass, and find it the best value, even though I live in northern California. One just never knows when there will be an opportunity to visit the park again, and it would be sad to have blocked dates when the opportunity arose.

I generally have a chance to use the pass two or three times a year, for three or four days each trip.

Also have a premium pass to WDW, which is better than any parkhopper could ever be.

My wife and I have a "Southern CA" pass this year and had "Deluxe" the year before. We probably average out to going 1-2 times per month. Price wise it is def worth it for us, plus we live 10-15mins away... so it's cool to go for just a few hours and grab a bite to eat and hit a few rides...

We opted for Southern California Select passes. Although we started out with 2-day park hoppers and then upgraded to the annual passes on the second day. We won't be able to do that next time though since they increased the price of the 2-day pass by a few dollars (darn it!) preventing us from "upgrading". Still, for costing about the same as a 2-day park hopper, they're a great deal. We have gone once a month since we've had the passes. Sooooo worth it. :D We will definitely get the passes again when they expire.

Deluxe AP holder since 2001. My family goes at least once a week but a little more frequently this summer break.

I live in Arizona, but the next time I go to Disneyland, I am getting a Premium pass. It is awesome! I wish I lived in California, so I could go every weekend.

I've been a passholder for 2 years now, usually go 2-3 times a month (except for summer). Sunday afternoon/nights usually. My favorite part of having an AP is just sitting there watching the crabby parents and kids who have been there all day and had to do everything that day. It's very relaxing :)

I want one for WDW! But after thinking about it i would get tired of WDW cause i would go so much since i live so close. I had the pass for SeaWorld and i went seven times last year and go tired of SeaWorld. So idk if i should. :?

hi:

i don't live near d'land, but find it is always the best value to purchase the premium pass. discounts at restaurants and shopping, free parking, but also, you just never know when there might be another opportunity to go to the land! it just doesn't add up to THAT much more than two visits with park hoppers.

ther eya go! :mickey:

We live in San Diego and have annual passes. Sometimes my husband and I will drive to DL on a friday after work, have dinner, maybe ride a ride or two and then drive home. We go quite often.

My mom and I have annual passes. We moved to Las Vegas though, so we haven't been able to go as much as we'd like (even less now that I'm in college). But we try to get to California at least 6-7 times a year (and usually stay for a few days). :D

that's fun, where in SD can you make the trip so quickly? I can't imagine making the trip on the 5 Friday night :)

Saturday we'll be going to renew our APs just in time for the holidays. They're considered our Christmas present again since we did the same last year. We find it easier to just buy those instead of toys and other stuff that will be damaged, lost or ignored later in the year.

Bought APs for the first time in August. I love the discounts!
