Other than Fl residents, Canadians and Military are there any annual pass discounts for us ordinary people that drive over 1000 miles to get to the fort? Just wondering why we are not considered for discounts especially after paying for all that gas. We are dedicated fort lovers and I feel we should be rewarded for all that dedication we have to the fort and WDW.( Hoping someone at the higher level is reading this. I cannot be the only one who is asking for this!)
I will be bringing my RV to FW early this June. I have checked the rates but I noticed some of you got an "AP discount". What is that about? Also, if you stay for 7 nights, do you get any break on the rates?

Sorry, we 'all' want/need discounts!! A lot of us 'do' come from 600+ miles - it is 'not' a 'cheap' vacation no matter which way you look at it!!
I agree with you Rusty, but other places have set a precedent. A few years ago, in the recession/depression, Branson was running a "pay for your gas" promo to draw people into the area. You showed your gas receipts at the CVB office and they gave you a check. That sort of provided a discount based on distance traveled.1) Why should distance make a price-discount difference?
2) Why discount with so many others, who live closer, willing to pay rack-rate?
From a "Disney" perspective, I don't necessarily think they are looking at an "under served" market when they consider discounts and promotions. Ultimately they are a business and they look at their bottom line. If it impacts the bottom line, then you will see that they take action. From the last several times I have been there, They are NOT lacking for customers. AT ALL! So until the price gets too unreasonable, you can expect the costs to stay (or increase). They are family friendly because they know family friendly brings in MORE money. Certainly I think we can all agree that if they were NOT family friendly (and maybe more "Grumpy"), we would go elsewhere.Fair or unfair, companies have lots of marketing data they use to determine under "served" areas and create promos/discounts accordingly. Apparently, middle America, drive 1000 miles, once every 2 years doesn't fall into that category.
Perhaps "under served" was the wrong choice of words. "Under performing market" is probably a better choice.From a "Disney" perspective, I don't necessarily think they are looking at an "under served" market
Can't agree RustyScupper with your analogy. It would be nice if they offered some kind of mileage discount. I also have come across gas discounts for people that drive far for other types of vacations, etc. so WHY NOT Disney????
One thing I've come to learn from being on here is that FW campground and campers gets ripped on discounts. Gotta admit that. Would be nice to have ANY kind of discount, AAA, anything. Disney squeezes you dollar wise to the very brink.
And if we were talking unfair to anyone else, then why would Florida resident's discounts not be considered unfair.
That's funny. I usually notice these, especially since the software change.Why are we having this conversation in a thread that was started 14 years ago?
