I sooooo agree.
Image, last year, PAPs had the characters on them - it was fun to think of our DSs, my DM, my DH, and I as the character on our passes. I would get the passes ready for us to go through the turnstiles and my DSs would say "I'm Donald" and "I'm Mickey".
This year, RIDES!!!! It's just not the same - "I'm soaring" (great ride, but I don't want it on my ticket) and "I'm Cinderellabration" just isn't the same. Oh, here's another one - "I'm Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park" - BORING.
BRING THE CHARACTER TICKETS BACK!!!!!!!
