I'm an out-of-state, non-DVC AP holder and I sincerely hope that they don't cancel out-of-state APs. I've used an AP for years. It enables me to come more than once a year and there are often AP room discounts I can take advantage of.
I stay onsite at WDW, have no car, and am in the bubble my entire trip. The AP allows me to sometimes use my pass kind of like a local. For example, I can just stroll into my reserved park and do nothing more than walk around, enjoy the atmosphere, maybe have a meal, then leave. I would never ever do this without the AP. Also, I wouldn't come more than once a year without the AP.
For sure there are other AP holders like myself on the DIS, and we pay a pretty substantial price for our APs. I find it hard to believe that Disney would want to shut us out, particularly since AP holders like myself stay onsite and spend all our vacation $ at WDW.
Just sayin'.
