Fate of Annual Passes
I am starting a rumor. Since we are approaching the one year mark before Galaxy's Edge opens and I doubt they want passholder filling either one of the parks, who else thinks its possible they will get rid of annual passes altogether. They will make more money with four month long "season" passes for spring/summer or fall/winter with different price levels for sundays only, weekdays only, or any day. They have already started doing this in Shanghai Disneyland and I don't see why they won't do it here. I am surprised I haven't seen anyone mention this moving to our park on the forum before.Tags: None

I have an AP, but I think there's a couple things. First, eliminate monthly payment options and I'm sure that would reduce the amount of people flooding the park. I would bet that a high percentage of AP's can't really afford it, but make monthly payments. Second, get rid of AP's and Fastpass.

It was also the last time we had APs as well. We are considering doing the same thing for Star Wars.

If SWGE is opening in late June/early July, then they can start the change in late June/early July. Whatever those changes may be, it will then have a year to phase out. For example, if they get rid of the locals only APs, late June/early July is when they'll stop selling/renewing those passes.Originally posted by Malcon10t View Post
Not exactly going to work that way, as the passes sold today have 1 year to activate their vouchers. A person buying a voucher today can activate it in January for a full year or wait til next April, etc... So people buying today can expect their pass to be reasonably honored for the next 2 years. Only real changes that can be made will be block out dates.Last edited by Natalie Price; 05-09-2018, 07:13 AM.

A theme park near me stopped offering annual passes. Instead they do a club. You have to let them deduct from your bank account each month. You sign a year contract and if you want to stop at the end you have to call and cancel. My workmate's daughter died of cancer and when they went to close her bank account they'd been deducting from it every month while she was in the hospital dying. They finally offered to refund the last two months as a courtesy when my workmate had the lawyer who was helping her with her daughter's estate call them. It cost her more than they refunded in lawyers fees for the call.

I'm just jealous. A punch pass would be perfect for someone like us, though

Local APs spend money as well, which is also easy to forget.

If you go to the park at anytime, you see Utah gear everywhere. Something about Disneyland appeals to the Utah culture. I currently live in Utah for the cheap housing + college, and the number of people I've met out here who visit the parks regularly, have APs, and love it despite living 10 hours away is astounding.
The AP program isn't just used by locals- which is something that's easy to forget.

I have both. We actually bought passes while we had residency there. We just keep going back. This is probably the last year, though. If you go to the park during Utah fall break, you see utah gear everywhere
