sigh. everyone in may immediate family doesnt NEED memory maker--so the fact that there is no kids pricing on these makes me a little batty.

There are changes to the Florida Resident Plan too. I'm not going to list the benefits of platinum and platinum plus since Lynn already did

I have no idea what a charter member is. I found that on another site. My guess is those of us who have old annual passes as a Florida resident or DVC member gets to renew at a slightly lower rate than someone who buys a ticket today.

Edited to add the renewal prices listed are what I paid to renew my pass in February and my family's passes in June.

Agreed. As a Florida resident there is a silver option that doesn't include photo pass but all the passes include parking. I'm pretty sure my 7 and 9 year old aren't going to drive to the parks by themselves.;)

So doing the math as a Florida resident. . .

We currently have one full annual and 3 seasonals for a pre tax price of $1246.

Our renewal would be one Platinum and 2 silvers if we kept everything the same and would be $1529 which is an increase of $283 over my last renewal. However I renewed mine right before the last increase so technically if everything stayed the same I would have gone up $40 on my next renewal even without changes.

I suppose you could argue that on my pass the increase of $130 is worth it if you buy Photopass which I usually don't. If I stick with that pass, you can bet I'll be downloading everything they take.

On the new Silver pass, it is only an increase of $51 which is not bad when you add in the parking benefit but for us that becomes an increase of $153 for parking we do not need since I already had it on my pass.

Are they still going to do the payment plan monthly on these for Florida residents?
I can't like, I'm a little bummed. The pricing is getting a little crazy for this lower middle class family.

They are still showing the payment plan options on the website.

Adding a note on the FL res passes since I can not edit my original post.

Gold and Silver have different block out dates. Silver has the traditional seasonal block outs. Gold does not have a summer block out but does have the block outs around Easter and Christmas.

I just want to remind everyone about that survey Disney sent out several months back about tiered pricing... It begins... They need to make the money up from the failed, and way too expensive MyMagic Plus nightmare...

Are they trying to thin out the masses of AP holders? Between the WDW price increases and the Disneyland price increases, it will certainly discourage a significant number of people from buying AP's for their families, even with the resident discounts (which is what we had when we lived in Florida).

Thank you. I just found it! It wouldn't load for a while. Too much traffic maybe.

I noticed that. I kind of like that part. I'll probably get the Gold for myself [because it's way too crowded around those two weeks around those holidays for me anyway.
I'll get my children the Silver because I rarely take them in the summer because they don't do well in the heat [especially my oldest]. But my best friend and I hit EPCOT a lot for a girls days out!

I do like having the photo pass and that part don't mind paying a bit more.

...and how many AP holders actually go to events at Wide World of Sports, or play golf (now included in the new AP's)?

These prices are a bargain compared to Disneyland's increases. The Premuim AP jumped $300! It's $1049 now.

Plus it's the second price increase this year. We definitely won't renew, and will be going less frequently.
