If Disney does away with Magic Keys, that will no way reduce park attendance.
They have shown in the past when attendance drops like a rock, that they give heavily discounted tickets to Southern California residents to keep the parks packed.
Having a Californian pay 40% less is much better than 0 and all the bad press about how falling park attendance means they are on a poor trajectory.
>They have shown in the past when attendance drops like a rock, that they give heavily discounted tickets to Southern California residents to keep the parks packed.
Disney didn’t even wait until attendance dropped this time. Once the passes were “sold out” they instantly had a SoCal resident ticket offer for summer ready to go as well. If this doesn’t convince people that locals are pretty darn important to DLR’s bottom line I’m not sure what will.
Sounds like you are just sour that you don’t live in CA and/or can’t afford the annual pass. Unlike Disney World, a lot of Disneyland’s revenue comes from locals.
They need AP holders, there is no way Disneyland can survive without AP’s. Maybe Disneyworld because its more of a tourist destination but definitely not Disneyland. Plus passholders will take their families more often and still pay for souvenirs and food every time we go.
GOOD! Annual Passholders are the most entitled, rude, aggressive people at the parks and it just gets worse every year. Doesn’t matter the coast too, Annual Passholders are the WORST!
Everyone should pay the same the price to enjoy Disney, period. Need to do away with the DVC crap too for they’re just as toxic.
I agree Walt. I was an annual passholder for decades. I didn’t live close by so we couldn’t jam the parks with the entitled attitude and rudeness. The local passholders just made the parks miserable.
Rude. As a well over 10 year passholder I find that blatant blanket statement as rude. I go out of my way to help people at the parks. Have many times given directions to get to where they want to go, answered questions, told them little known tidbits, even have stepped away from those that I am with to take people where they wanted to go when they couldn’t remember the directions. There are toxic people everywhere, but not all people of any one group are that way. In fact, when friends know people that are coming to town and going to DL, they put them in touch with me and I will take the time to go and be their “guide”….
I think the original annual pass program was amazing. Why did they have to do magic key instead? People with passes were much happier and there were much less restrictions.
What hotel expansion? You can’t being talking about DLR. There hasn’t been any capacity added to any of the hotels there in years and the construction going on now for the new DVC tower at the DL hotel won’t be finished for quite a while.
Comments for Disneyland Seemingly Eliminates Magic Key Passholder Program

I hope they do away with the APs. Everyone should pay the same price per visit. Will make vacations much more enjoyable.

In 20 years of having a pass, I never found that to be the case.. Never. You’re lying.

Eh, there was kind of a reason that CM’s would call some AP holders “pass-holes.”

The crowds got bigger particularly do to the hotel expansion but the parks haven’t really gotten bigger. That is why.
