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

Don't see the big deal if you're a big enough Disney fan to buy a season pass. Season tickets for sporting events cost more than that.
Also, $100 a day is a bargain. I paid about that much for only 3 hours of shitty football in Baton Rouge this weekend.

The new $1,049 Disney Signature Plus replaces the $779 Premium Annual Passport. Like the Premium pass, the Signature Plus allows for unlimited attendance to both Anaheim parks and provides discounts on some food and merchandise. The Signature Plus will also include additional perks such as parking and unlimited downloads of PhotoPass images such as the pictures taken on rides.
Many people were buying the photopass package separate so for the, it isn't much of an increase. BUT, there have been more and more groups of people who do photopass shares (where up to 6 different families visiting at or near the same time) will share the photopass cost. By "adding it in" to the cost (like the dining plan, packages, etc) they increase the price then convince the consumer it's an added value.

In Roller Coaster Tycoon, the max admission price you could set was $100. If you wanted more, you'd have to start charging for rides, and the bathrooms.

It is all about the numbers. If you go more than X amount of times a year it is a deal, otherwise it is not. Figure it out for yourself/family and either buy it or don't.

If you're buying an annual, you're probably going (a lot) more than 10 times a year so it's still a solid deal
We bought one in 2014 and took three trips with a total of 21 park days so we definitely came out ahead, BUT the reason we booked three trips was also because we got the passes so it kind of went hand in hand.
There are other benefits that passholders to receive to add some value. You can buy a Tables in Wonderland card for $100 and save $20 on all dining for a year and with the TiW card you also receive free valet parking for the purposes of dining. Merchandise discounts, resort discounts, etc.

I'm interested to see what the dynamic pricing model looks like for tickets. They already have this with the resort hotel pricing.
The other thing is, this is rack rate. More than half of the year, there are discounts on packages. Most people who buy an annual pass either live nearby or go multiple times a year. If you travel to the World twice or more a year, you probably can afford this.

With the way Disney prices their ticket packages, more times than not it comes down to how many trips during the year you will be taking (if not a Florida or Cali resident) rather than how many days.
Ten park days over two trips is priced differently than ten park days over three trips so it really puts an emphasis on planning out in advance when it comes to Disney. 7 months in advance AT least for the best bang for your buck and best opportunity to save some cash.

I'm amazed every time we go to Disney. The way people look and act certainly doesn't correlate to the amount of money being spent. A family of 4 or 5 is dropping close to $5k on the low end and over $10K if they're staying in more expensive hotels. Yet they're still eating their ham sandwiches in ride lines and throwing their trash on the ground. It's an amazing people study.
The people that do this are not dropping 5-10K on a vacation. They have saved for years to go to the park. They are staying 5 nights, off property at an $89/night hotel that has free breakfast and free shuttle to the park. They are probably not going to the World every day, maybe 2-3 days. They bring/sneak food in. This is a trip of a lifetime for them.
So yeah, they are still trashy. You won't see that at some of the nice on-property hotels.

There is no sneaking food in because you are allowed to take it in. I've stayed at deluxe resorts for the last three years and bring food with me every day. One of the main reasons I stay in a deluxe villa is to have a fridge so I can have food in the room , eat dinner or lunch there from time to time and bring food to the parks.
Disney is priced that two families of the exact same size who eat the same amount of food, who go to the same parks on the same days for the same amount of time can each spend the same money but have VERY differtn vacations based on how they spend their money.
The key to value with Disney is not how much money you spend, it's what you get for your money. I can do a week in a value for as low as $3500 (family of three) and have a nice trip but the guy in the room next to me can spend double on a family the same size because of how the trip was organized and detailed.

Annual passes for Busch Gardens are around $75 and BG is 10x more fun.
Posted on 10/5/15 at 11:57 am to ReauxlTide222
Walt Disney World is the most popular vacation destination in the world. Busch gardens is nice, but it isn't really even in the same category as WDW. Yes, both have/are theme parks but Disney has TONS more to offer.

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.

It's just Disney-speak for "Getting a little too ethnic around here..."
Posted on 10/5/15 at 12:15 pm to RLDSC FAN
They're building a lot more rides at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Add in the photo pass that was $200 and its really not a big deal.

Disneyland and Disneyworld both suck.
Last time I went we had super ultra fast passes so we literally got to jump right to the front of the line using the exits. Meanwhile people who had to wait in line gave us death stares that I will never forget.
Even with the ultra super fast passes I didn't think the park was that great. It was fun, but not worth how much they charge, especially when its crowded all the time and you have to wait in line a long time for every damn ride.
No ride there is worth a 2 hour wait.

No you didn't

Agreed.
The only time I ever "waited" that long for anything was so my daughter could meet Anna & Elsa, but even then we didn't really wait the two hours. We were there for the marathon and the line was on the route in Epcot so we took turns where one person would stand in line and the rest of the group would go spectate the race.
Even last year when I went during Thanksgiving I didn't wait more than 20 minutes for just about anything. The key is to know what parks to go to on what day, what to fastpass, when to arrive and what order to do what attractions.

Did someone say Disney?
Posted on 10/5/15 at 1:14 pm to ell_13
I don't think I've been here in more than a week but I''ve got a Disney and a cycling vs car thread to keep my attention for a little while

It amazes me the comments people will make who had no interest in the product to begin with. For the people who bought annual passes and who this is geared toward, this isn't terribly different. We're talking about CA residents for the most part.
