Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders: Bring a Friend this Summer

[gottalovepluto]

I'm a pass holder but I'm blocked out till September , does this change anything? Can I do this?

If you’re willing to pay $99 for yourself it looks like you’re good to go for a day.

Heads will roll.

I suspect heads will stay attached until Orlando opens. But rumor on that side of the boards is hotel bookings post SWGE opening are looking really soft...

And so it begins...

Literally the same words went through my head when I saw it...

As I don't know much about AP, those in the know is this something AP's will definitely bite on?

As a Signature passholder (I’m not blocked) I will definitely bite. Off the top of my head, my husband will use this to go visit Star Wars (he doesn’t have or want an AP), and a friend and her daughter who are visiting me in August will do it.

A one-day park hopper is $200! It is insane. One day, one-park is $150.

HOLY MOLY WHAT?!! ...well it’s obvious I haven’t bought Disney tickets since the spring deal lol.

Yeah this deal is 50% off! It’s great.

My BIL just decided to come on Sunday based on this, and another family of 3 is considering it in a couple of weeks. It'll bring in business for sure.

The "even if you're blocked, you can get this for yourself" bit is smart, too.

I am for sure bringing people. I have signature plus, so no block outs and I have parking. So some of my friends would ride with me and not have to pay for parking either. Last year I brought 7 different people throughout the summer when they had the Pixar Fest friend deal. I’m already bringing 3 people, we just have to pick a day. Going to try and convince my parents to come too. My mom seems excited...my dad is all “I just want to ride Small world, eat a churro, and people watch ”...so we will see about him lol

It is truly outrageous.

I just bought a 2 day park hopper for my son at 11:30pm last night for $280. I would have been pissed if my plan wasnt to upgrade it to a flex pass!! Glad I decided to take advantage of the crowds and going tonight and tomorrow

 

[Laurieloo1414]

Anyone have any idea of how the flex pass will work? If it’s a reservation only day and I have a reservation, can I purchase for my guest for that day?

 

[avalon451]

Still hoping they discount the onsite hotel rooms...

I'm betting that the Flex AP holder will need a reservation but that the paid-on-demand guests, through this offer, will be warmly welcomed through the turnstiles. The blackouts/reservations should not apply to the $99pp/per day tickets.

Also insane.

AP holders like you, midnight star, should get their AP extended by a month for every 5 non AP person you bring to the parks. You are making them $$$ big time.

Ooooooh, I like that idea! I immediately forwarded the email offer to three friends who couldn't join us during the Reservation period. This deal is much better than paying $149pp+tax and w/out the 4-hour window restriction.

 

[SOCALMouseMommy]

Been mulling this over. I hate that you have to do this at the ticket booth. That will be a nightmare. I wish you could do it on the app!

 

[MommyLove]

We're Sig + APs and will definitely take advantage of this for at least 3 guests; my older son and his GF, and then my dad. I may even take my dad 2 days. We'll see.

Yep, same as a parkhopper was what, 7 or 8 years ago, bargain.
I’m not one obviously but AP’s need to be unblocked or pay a lot less than $99 to go on a blocked day. Even if they just open up Tue/Wed/Thu, they need to fill up the parks. This can’t go on much longer before there are some big changes in the management team in operations.
All the best.

FWIW, I didn't feel that either park was particularly "empty" on my visit Wednesday. Granted, I was only there for five hours (~9:30a to 2:30p), and wait times were lovely but there were a good number of people milling in the parks. I spoke with folks who attended Monday who said similarly of that day: short wait times but generally busy.

I liked it!
