AP prices increased [6/18/2019]

[Searc]

AP prices were increased without warning this morning, some significantly. The Platinum AP (only one available to non-FL residents) increased by over $200. I was on the fence about renewing my AP since I'll have a lot more disposable income and time in the upcoming year, but Disney made the decision easy for me. Nope!

Interesting that this happened shortly after the passholder previews for galaxy’s Edge were announced...

Yep. It isn't a coincidence.

No surprise at all.

EXACTLY

Nearly a 50% increase from the price less than one year ago.

That is...substantial. No renewal next year for me.

Out of state Platinum Plus is $1219, up from $994.

Sadly, this is probably our last year as AP holders. Our circumstances are changing and we may not be able to make multiple trips as a family.

There would have to be some sweet perks for the 50th to get me to buy them again. And I would only do it using the tickets I have to upgrade.

This is out of control.
$900 is roughly equivalent to almost 8 days of tickets! If you're an out of stater that's going to require almost 2 weeks of trips just to break even!

This price increase is going to force a lot of people to rethink AP purchases.

Thank you very much @Searc I'm guessing the prices for non residents will have about the same percentage increase OUCH!!!
Editing to apologise for not reading your post properly Searc…. you already gave the answer *slaps forehead* lol

Yep. That's why I can't justify it.

 

[MarBee]

I was actually going to buy APs next week. For my family of 4 it will be an extra $1000 now. Insane!

 

[Pdollar88]

I’m pretty bummed out about the increase. Does anyone know how much the renewal price is? That will determine if I can remain an AP holder next year.

I may just go one more time on my current AP (which I hadn’t planned on doing) and not renew. I could still make it work, if I took two trips (~5 days each) - I’m an out of stater.

Out of state prices are listed second in their list.

I was trying to decide if I should renew my AP, I will not with this increase as it offers no savings for me to do so. At least they made the decision an easy one

 

[gharter]

Wow!. I expected to see them increase, but not to that degree. Glad we renewed ours earlier this year.
Will really have to look at the numbers next year to decide about renewing or not.
