That is about all I expect. Disney has chosen to eliminate the 1 day discounts they used to have in the past. One reason we never visit their parks anymore. For $99 we were able to get a one year pass to Universal with free parking.
Yeap, if you plan to do more than 1 three to four day trip in a year, it's a better value to do a seasonal AP. We had ended up upgrading to one last year after purchasing a Play 4. At the time we purchased the Play 4 we had purchased one the prior November so we actually paid more to go in a years time that way then if we purchased an AP for $20 less.
If they're coming out with them for the fall I'm guessing we'll be hearing about it soon.
I remember when the 1 day passes for FL residents were $19 and that was all of the time! back in 1988 of course The hotel rates were probably 1/4 of what they were now. For some reason salaries don't seem to be that much more
