I thought this thread was about all WDW AP's, not Florida. I got confused! The prices looked great for me living in WA state.
But they added the Ren & Stimpy version of Mickey in order to give it a contemporary look.Don't overlook this tidbit...
"Please note as we continue to manage attendance to provide a great experience for everyone, at any time, Annual Passes may be unavailable for purchase."
So they can "sell out" too.
But, they did add in this "generous" benefit (insert sarcastic eye-roll here)...
"We’re also introducing a new look for the Annual Passholder program to honor our past while looking forward to the future. Using a piece of the original Walt Disney World Resort logo as a foundation for bright colors and energetic design, the program’s new look puts Passholders right in the middle of the magic."
THANK GOODNESS! What ever would we do without a great LOGO???
Can I get a discount if I stick with the old look?Don't overlook this tidbit...

And you have to apply for it daily at 6:30amUntil 2022, when your AP will give you a $10 discount to utilize Parking+. - which will have a different tiered cost based on the day of your visit.
Why? You can only buy the $1300 AP…I thought this thread was about all WDW AP's, not Florida. I got confused! The prices looked great for me living in WA state.
We love volcano bay, we can go around the fearless river all day.Me too maybe I will go back to my three park and go back to Volcano Bay
The biggest selling point for reservations is that it gives Disney a lot of valuable metrics as far as how many people are planning to attend a park on a given day, which helps a lot with staffing, etc. But it also allows them to limit attendance without having to "close the park" like they used to have to when they reached their attendance limit (ie, Magic Kingdom on Christmas), which was a lot of an organizational nightmare. (If someone can't get into a park, far better to stop them in advance, and/or essentially push them to another park.)Execs said early on park reservations were here to stay. IMHO they do that to scare people into buying their tickets early. They used to have FP for that but without it they need a new reason to get people to commit to tickets.
Don't worry, I am sure those will be available for purchase.I didn’t see anything about a magnet! During last years debacle they kept telling me how special my included magnet was! Where. Is. My. Magnet?!?!?
Reservations aren't necessarily terrible, but as someone mentioned, its easy to use that as a block out date for passes without anyone being the wiser. Not to mention, no one really wants to plan where they will be on vacation. Worse those is the reservations came with park hopping only at certain times. That really threw a wrench in our last trip as we couldn't just go elsewhere that day without checking into a park. When its an epcot reservation that no one knew would open at 11am, you basically wasted half a day.The biggest selling point for reservations is that it gives Disney a lot of valuable metrics as far as how many people are planning to attend a park on a given day, which helps a lot with staffing, etc. But it also allows them to limit attendance without having to "close the park" like they used to have to when they reached their attendance limit (ie, Magic Kingdom on Christmas), which was a lot of an organizational nightmare.

DL's AP options are way better, if only because out-of-state folks can actually get a blocked-out pass.I thought this thread was about all WDW AP's, not Florida. I got confused! The prices looked great for me living in WA state.
