Yeah, I saw a headline on a news feed that mentioned deep discounts for WDW passholders on park hoppers, but I did not read the article. I would think APH folks wouldn't need tickets, I mean I assume summer is over now or soon for folks with blackouts. I see you mentioned they can get multiple, so I guess they are hoping passholders will seek out friends to get tickets for.
I guess I'm just surprised they didn't offer FL residents something similar as I would think that would work better....hey, shouldn't surge pricing drop when attendance is low and not be priced based on a dates you set a year in advance?
I think it's been close to four years since we have been to Disney, but I've been hearing that they've resorted to raising sit down restaurant cost while really shrinking portions...it's just been odd lately as folks I would consider being hardcore fans seem to be talking differently this year than the way they played things up last year.
For me, I think the final straw was when the eleminated the child's price on APs which, along with the increase in pass cost was just too much all at once. I admit our last visit was b4 fast pass+, but our Disney vacations really were feeling stressful...somehow our UNI trips feel like vacations and for some reason I always felt like I needed a vacation after a trip to Disney.
I do hope UNI keeps options that I find value in as well as maintaining the feel of a relaxing vacation!
