BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks MO. It's interesting that discounts seem to he flowing. I wonder if this has anything to do with the reports that a good number of people are canceling trips because of Zika?

I know there are AP holders all over the country, but don't you think the majority are close to WDW? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I wonder if all of the price increases and changes have put off enough of the AP holders from renewing so they are trying to entice them back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 We were surprised when we got a 20% off at Pecos Bills. We saw the email later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know there are AP holders all over the country, but don't you think the majority are close to WDW? I was thinking if attendance is down at least in part because of the whole Zika thing, local AP holders are already living in the area and either not as worried about it or already finding ways to live with it, so getting them to come (or more often) might be easier. 15 hours ago, keith_h said: I wonder if all of the price increases and changes have put off enough of the AP holders from renewing so they are trying to entice them back.

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 The only day cast and retired cast were blocked this summer was July 4 in the MK. Last summer was blocked most of the time in MK. But of course there was the new Fantasy Land to see. We weren't even blocked at Epcot for July 4, first time I remember being able to see their fireworks. BTW they were great. I have a friend who takes his grandson to the parks a lot and he says the crowds are light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mich1073 5 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I know we have been debating renewing ours. But I think we wait out our renewal time and then just buy new, 20% off quick serve sounds great! This reminds of years ago when they did more stuff, I have bought when they did the 13 months before and also Fl Res getting in free for your birthday. That was awesome because they gave a GC for ticket value if you had an AP. We did talk about not renewing at all for at least a year or two, but I am rethinking it and I have a feeling ALOT of others are doing the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a brilliant move on their part. They have been very aggressive with price increases for the past two or so years. Which, among other things, has negatively impacted attendance and revenue. So, they throw Passholders this discount bone. The only way the discount benefits Passholders is if they spend money at Disney. With the discount, we're probably still paying more than what we paid two years ago. Once they finally have some new attractions open, they'll yank the discounts and jack up the prices again. Disney always wins. TCD PureTcrazy...rita and Avatab.... Steve 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duane 152 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 "We're gonna give you this nifty 20% discount, but we're also going to limit your access during the roll out of new rides, attractions and whenever we feel like doing it... That is unless you have purchased the Super Platinum Gold Plated Black Card Annual Pass, which will get you the access to the secret Cinnamon Roll Room at the MK and the front seat beside the lever puller on the Monorail of your choice...

But I checke the prices and the child pass is no longer discounted so that is a wash. So we will renew just not sure when...... It will be before the youngest is 3 in June....

AP tickets are probably running low the past year and what a way to get people back but they will be cut when the new stuff arrives. You're right....they always win Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mich1073 5 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Well I been really on the fence about renewing our APs. But I just got this email that I might just help make that choice... I think I can use these and then upgrade but I only need 3.... Hum, wonder if they flip that 4th ticket on the AP price and then just pay the last 100 bucks... I will call the AP line and find out. But pretty darn awesome :)Congratulations!We're happy to let you know that you're a winner in the Enchanted Moments Sweepstakes! You've won four (4) 1-day Tickets to the Magic Kingdom® Park at the Walt Disney World® Resort, which has an approximate retail value of $528.24. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are pretty strict on that, 1 ticket = 1 upgrade, plus prize tickets "may" not be upgradeable, not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be awesome if complementary tickets could be used toward upgrades. We got some at a Disney Parks Blog event. No go on using them toward renewing our AP's. But there's no harm in asking. You never know. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mich1073 5 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 It was a Publix/Huggies sweep so hopefully they are just standard one day tickets, they may have bought in bulk :) I can use the other for my MIL, so its fine. Either way I will use them. But I am still waiting for the Opps, sorry email... As I hardly ever win anything. I know they used to give you a gift card for the price of a one day ticket back when they gave you free admission on your birthday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
