[Candleshoe]

Oh, crap!

Don't give up hope though.

. . . I would think the florida holders that bought the unlimited pass (for much more money I might add) . . .

1) Actually not really.
2) Seasonal passes do not include parking.
3) Full Florida AP's get free parking.
4) Go 12 times and your Full AP is paid.

I didn't notice until you mentioned it!

Any update?

Last year notice came in more than a month before the lifted dates.

We are waiting hopefully for this good news for 06. We have to get back to play Millionaire,(gonna win that cruise) and would really like more than just a couple of days before it is closed Aug. 19!!!!!

Well, I called the Passholder hot line today. Asked them if there was any word on blackout being lifted early this summer. Apparently there is nothing like this anticipated yet. It is getting late now to expect it. But there is always hope!!!

 

[EdTreo]

Is this the first year were there won't be any dates lifted?

 

[Poohbear123]

Don't give up hope though.

I am leaving August 12 for my 3 days trip, any news yet? Or should I just plan on buying a 3 day pass?

 

[ynottony99]

I made a couple of calls over the last couple of days. Both times, they told me there is nothing at this time. It is getting late now to expect something for this summer.

I would think the florida holders that bought the unlimited pass (for much more money I might add) are going to be a bit hot about this one if it is true. It is also really going to add to park crowding during some very peak times. Not sure I think its a good idea, but I can see how it will make some people very happy!

I doubt it's going to make much difference. A lot of people who buy the seasonal pass are like me. I wouldn't go to WDW during the blackout periods for anything on God's greeen earth. Too hot, too crowded. Even though it's been lifted I still will not go during summer and neither will any of my friends who have a seasonal pass.

I normally DON'T travel during this time, but, a Friend of mine from work is going at this time, with thier 3 yr old DD who has NEVER been, and I am thier "private tour guide!" I even called reservations and booked thier room for them, so its kind of inportant I see them have a GREAT time.

Well you have a great reason for going!

You might want to compare the cost of upgrading your Seasonal into a regular FL resident AP.

 

[ynottony99]

As near as I can tell, recently they did in 04, and 05.

 

[proudmomof4]

ummm......the more crowded the more money is spent thus making a better bottom line....

what makes your money different than ours? We pay top dollar to go as well - luckily we are close enough to go more than once or twice a year.

and there are many residents who have the full AP...so WDW isn't restricting residents.....we can go ANYTIME WE LIKE.....nanni nanni boo boo!!

Ditto!!! You said exactly what I was thinking.
