    I can understand the price hikes. It's a little begrudging that I'll pay for it, but hey, it's Disney. The magic is invaluable. I have my own annual pass, and I've been saving up to get one for my kids when they come to visit. I hate that the Christmas break time is a blackout date. That's when I get them the longest, apart from summer. I'm kicking myself for not buying these earlier. Oh well. Getting the platinum since the gold has that blackout time.

    According to the Disney website that pass is still available for $1439 plus tax. It looks like it needs to be bought on site.

    That's cool, although it is quite an initial outpouring of cash - the value is still there for "dual-coasters" - especially in view of the recent price hike.

    For me though, lately I've rarely gone west of Texas and I have been spending more time in non-Disney places in Florida (variety is the spice of life). Oh well ... kudos to those who can use this special pass a lot!

    It still exists. I think I saw a price of around $1400 for this pass.

    Not for DVC which is what this thread started out as. The weekday pass is FL residents only.

    Unhappy New places to vacation.

    Disney has been on the fast-track when it comes to alienating their long term customers.
    The small special things about Disney have been plucked one little piece at a time.
    Artificial crowds have been inserted during slow times of the year. (International crowds were unbelievable at the end of August and I’m sure my friends from Brazil will be there for my January trip)
    Frozen has been overdone to the point that most rational people simply do not want to see it anymore.
    All cost savings methods are being strategically eliminated.
    It’s a big world out there and I will NOT be renewing my annual pass. My last trip to Universal was fantastic and with all of the crowds and increasing expenses for bad food, I can finally say for sure that my money is better spent elsewhere. I will go back, but not more 2-3 times a year like I have been. Visits will be brief and infrequent at best.

    I heard from my sister in CA yesterday as they were thinking of doing the dual pass and according to the Orange County Register the cost with no blackout dates is now $1,449.

    Disney is a business and a stock company that has to make money. It just happens to be a business that a lot of people love and don't necessarily think of as a business.

    The travel industry (airlines and hotels) have done this for years and years. Airfare is higher in peak season and hotel rates skyrocket during special event weekends. Sports teams in all categories have been doing this with tickets the past few years. For instance, baseball and football teams charge more for top opponents like the Cubs, Cardinals and Yankees that have fans that travel well. The Packers and Steelers fans find this out in football season as you have to buy packages for visiting team games. Weekend games cost more than weekday games. Disney didn't invent this or even get in on it early. They are now finally catching up. It's life.

    I get that Mark , but my issue is how much less there is available. Once new Star Wars opens and Toy story land opens and soaring and maelstrom / frozen is finished- and avatar land is finished. maybe. Not to mention Disney springs.
    But you have a LOT of unusable space and want to charge more? Nah.

    Many of those things are going to start opening in 2016. I think Disney Springs is to be completely done by May 2016, along with Frozen. While neither you or I are fans of Frozen, it is very popular. Soarin is also due to open in 2016.

    Personally, I think it would have been better to have announced this change after the first of the year, when you are in the same year as when many of these things are opening. I think there would have been less of an uproar.

    Like others have said, I would have liked if there was an Annual Pass option option available for DVC members to purchase which did not include the Photopass. DVC members aren't eligible to buy the Silver Pass.

    As Canadians our renewal for 2 will be around $1400+(CAD) maybe we will (not) pass this year and do the parks every other year or two.

    Do what we do and collect Air Miles on everything. Then get the 7 day park pass and upgrade it to the AP at the parks before you use it.
