Plastic card for those who don't have a phone. Seems rather easy, no?Then the alternative is to not offer the discounts anymore. You’re going to have to show proof in some shape or form that your AP is up to date.
Maybe I misunderstood your post, you said you didn’t want people to be forced to show anything. So I was saying the only way that’s possible is to do away with the discounts.Plastic card for those who don't have a phone. Seems rather easy, no?
I'm surprised they give people new ones each year. I have a Cedar Fair pass and it's the same one I have had since 2018.Maybe I misunderstood your post, you said you didn’t want people to be forced to show anything. So I was saying the only way that’s possible is to do away with the discounts.
I think printing plastic cards is extremely unnecessary in 2022, because everyone has a phone, but my point was based around being forced to prove you’re a current AP holder.
Based on a post above they don’t give them if you renew online, but you can go to guest services to get a new card lol so if they’re already making them why not just have a card printer on site to print your valid dates?I'm surprised they give people new ones each year.

Agreed. Majority of parks have an app and they all have your passes stored on them. Its where it's headed eventually.Based on a post above they don’t give them if you renew online, but you can go to guest services to get a new card lol so if they’re already making them why not just have a card printer on site to print your valid dates?
I still think it’s unnecessary, I work at Topgolf and we’re doing away with ours. But even we print them on site at our venue.
You are mistaken. Never said didn’t want no proof. If you read the post my post was in response to you wouldn’t have mistook my post.Maybe I misunderstood your post, you said you didn’t want people to be forced to show anything.

We are totally opposite. We always renew in person, I always buy a discounted ticket to apply to renewal. So I’ve never not gotten a card so always has to current date. Besides the new cards are so darn cuteI was there last month and was asked 2x times to pull up app to prove pass was valid. She proceeded to tell me if I went to guest services and get the new 50th AP card they would not ask as they would assume my pass is valid . I’ve had the same AP plastic card for years as when you renew online they do not send a new card. I did get new card and for the rest of trip wasn’t asked to pull it up on phone but with all things Disney it’s hit or miss depending on who you get
I'm betting the rate at which that would be abused is low enough that they should just consider it a write off instead of making their highest paying customers' experiences less enjoyable just to pinch a few pennies.I understand that. My guess is they have seen people use others MB and Pass a lot more then some one else's phone.
Not everyone uses a smartphone though. There should at least be an option for plastic cards. Why should it be on the guest to provide these things?Maybe I misunderstood your post, you said you didn’t want people to be forced to show anything.

I doubt the phone leaves your hand. If it's anything like other parks I have visited they just scan the QR code on your phone.When you show your phone for discounts (assuming I can get the phone to show the current AP status) does the cast member take the phone in their hand? Does the cast member take the phone away somewhere -- even if just to a nearby register. In other words, does the phone come under the control of the cast member?
Because that would concern me -- a lot. On another of my hobby forums, the lady handed her phone to the employee, who took the phone back to a register out of view. Then he accessed some kind of payment transfer system that made cash payment transfers from her bank account to an account he had set up to receive payments (in another name.)
I would rather forego AP discounts than give someone access like that. At least when I hand them cash, there is a limit to the risk.
I don't know. I don't think they would take your phone from you.So all table wait staff have scanners?
