New Disney World AP Pay and get less?

[robl45]

So did I read the info correct that now instead of Photopass included, you get the privilege of paying extra for it? Has Disney lost all sanity? They just keep upping everything and adding extra charges to the point that its just foolish.

And the price for no-blackout dates went up almost $500 per year, and they still limit the number of park passes you can have, and can only park hop at a certain time. It’s ridiculous. Especially photo pass which costs them nothing.

Yeppers! You’re being given the NEW opportunity to pay to add on PhotoPass! How exciting!!

Someone on the News forum pointed out you only need to get one Photopass per person in your family - so there is at least that.

Out-of-state are only able to purchase the Incredi-pass, and the other passes are only for FL residents or DVC

So the renewal price is more then what they used to cost new, and we are getting less. I wish I didnt even have annual passes right now, such a waste, I am so frustrated with Disney's money grabs.

I'll go back to giving the Disney photographers my camera to take photos. Unless they're going to start charging for that as well. I won't have the magic shots, but so be it.

What is the cost difference between out of state platinum from 2020 and incredi-pass? New and renewals?

You added a zero there- or you’re seeing the future and informing of us of next year’s price increase?

I’m comparing what I currently pay to the new equivalent option.

Had to go back through my emails for the receipt but I renewed my Platinum in Jan for $1080. Incredi-Pass renewal rate is 1104 + tax and no PhotoPass lol.

Man I was holding my breath on parking not being included

So obviously next time we renew we will have to renew as incredi-pass I assume? No grandfathering in of old passes?

Also, the new levels are pretty dorky sounding. Pirate pass? I can’t just be silver?

correct. Glad my husband just renewed his platinum pass.

That’s what it’s sounding like. I doubt they would be that generous. I have some decisions to make come Jan 2022.

How does photopass cost them nothing? They pay people, equipment, and technology for that service. I'm sure it costs a lot.

Not sure. Personally I hope so. Alas my renewal window doesn’t open until 9/11 and I’m not hopefully they’ll allow it … from the website

“If you are currently within your renewal window, you may choose to renew into one of the current Annual Pass options through September 7, 2021. On September 8, 2021, if you are within your renewal window, you will be able to select from the new passes at the time you wish to renew.”

Comparing the DVC Gold AP to the new Sorcerer's pass. Sorcerer's has different blackout dates (none over Easter, but now includes Thanksgiving weekend) but the Gold AP has none over Thanksgiving. Loss of Memory Maker. Higher price tag (Gold was $719, Sorcerer's is $899!) and this is after they raised prices $20 right before the shutdown.
