New Annual Pass for WDW and DL

Post by mindy0509 » Mar Thu 11, 2010 8:03 am

So Disney just announced a new annual pass that is good for admission to both WDW and DL. The price is $700 per pass. Any opinions? Is it worth it? Any one figure out how many days you have to go to make it worth the $700? If you are currently an annual pass holder for WDW can you get a discount on this pass when you renew? Just wanted to see what other people thought about this. :D

I think it would only be worth it if you frequently travel between California and Florida. It's not feasible for most people to go to either park enough to justify the cost. Even assuming you live near one or the other, the cost of air travel and hotels to visit the other doesn't seem like it would be worth it.

It's a great idea, but I don't see $700 being worth it.

I figure with 10-day park hoppers I'm paying roughly $35 per day. I'd have to go over 20 days to make it worth my while. Wish I could go that often!

I do love the idea, but it's still too pricey.

Agree that its abit too pricey especially since the population of people that would hit both locations in the same calendar year would be small. Since Mindy and I are one of the few thought, here's to hoping there's an existing annual passholder discount!

Too pricey for me too. I agree if I could bounce back and forth cross country it would be great.

Seems a little high. Also why not just make it a Disney pass that is good for ALL Disney parks.

A few answers to this question:

1: The price would be a lot more than any one person/family would want to spend.

2: Not all the parks are owned by Disney (Tokyo is owned by a Japanese real estate company with the rights to use the Disney name. Even CMs who work outside of Tokyo have to pay to get in)

3: Not everyone wants to go to every single resort in the world. Myself included (I don't really want to go to Hong Kong... yet).
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”
