re: Disneyland Annual Pass Jumps To More Than $1,000

As others have said it is simple math. Break it down by day for the amount of days that someone who buys such a pass would be in the parks and it isn't bad at all. Especially considering the prices of other entertainment (i.e. movie theater, going to see a live show, sporting events, etc.).

I have annual passes and find the value to be great. Disney World isn't cheap by any means however. This is like any other premium venue and the costs will be high.
