We used to purchase the top tire annual pass but as things were taken away we decided to downgrade to the most inexpensive Pixie Pass and add the $99 photo pass to just one pass.
We would like to see Disney add a few weekends to all passes, hopefully during the Winter months. Our beloved Rivers of America is gone being replaced by a ride unfit for seniors. The shooting gallery where we could chill for a few minutes in the afternoon Sun is now gone. We have been fans of Nightmare Before Christmas since day one but we only see Oogie Boogie on occasion. Never any of the other characters. We can no longer stand the 3 1/2 hours to meet Jack and Sally during MNSSHP and can’t eat candy so we don’t buy tickets anymore.
Don’t feel left out. Anaheim isn’t much better. If you go enough times you can offset the cost of the highest pass with the park hopping and parking fees plus the admission to the park. It breaks even around 10 visits. However, my wife and I both get free parking and discounts, yet we only need one free parking pass when we go together. We still get the photo pass included for “free” but rarely use it. Buying it also requires a commitment to visit the parks to get to those 10 days. Since we don’t live close to the park, we have to get a room at a local hotel. More cost. And I need a scooter to get around now so add that cost. With the constant price increases we are also questioning whether to renew or stop going to the parks. Disney is making it easy to say goodbye and stop going. Maybe if enough people fail to renew they will get the message.
I said before, annual pass holders needed to stop renewing passes, post COVID, and make Disney change back to how it used to be. The ridiculous increase in price of the prices, the stupid reservation system (now only for pass holders) and elimination of perks. As a DVC member, we used to get a renewal discount. That vanished from $100. Now that I am disabled, Disney is not recognizing mobility disabilities, so without DAS, it is not worth it for me to be a pass holder. Legally they have to make accommodations, but don’t. Something needs to change drastically.

How about treating all Guest the same???????? Same annual pass options for all guests. That would really be equality. Everyone’s money is the same.
