Has anyone heard this anywhere else?

Was just about to come post a thread. It seems very slightly in line with some of the market research they had been doing where they were testing the waters on higher prices for more popular days--at least the names of the passes correspond with the dates.

If this is true, the PP downloads will be a crazy good perk. I'm assuming digital downloads only and no prints, but at $14.99 a pop/over $100 for MM if we decide on a real vacation-style trip, that's still huge.

for us this is amazing--because we live 17 hours away...and just are fortunate enough to be able to go twice a year--to visit family--and the AP is cheaper for us because of that. I am curious about why no where else has any sort of news on this at all!

Photopass downloads is a great perk that costs them virtually nothing.

MagicBand Collectors stated there will be changes announced for Tables in Wonderland as well.

As a Premium Passholder I want to know what they are going to offer us to make up for losing DisneyQuest, that was a nice perk for our family. If they give photos to Gold and Platinum, then what are they going to add to us to make up for it .... would LOVE TiW included.

And of course ......... what's going to be our final bill.

I am loving the included photo pass downloads. It is so not worth buying the whole CD for small trips many times a year.

Hmmm...this will take some time to fully digest/let sink in.

My first gut reaction is that my days at Disney world may be at an end...hopefully that's not the final conclusion.

Oh now really-- you know that all of our income has grown to cover the 15 to 20 %-- we all should have no problem with the increase-- it's merely cost of living............... Where's the sarcasm icon?

Maybe they are culling the herd.
