What I mean is, for people without APs, they can buy a party ticket for about the same amount as another day in the park. With that, they get in at 4 for regular hours, then get the extra stuff from 7-midnight. That is reasonable. For APs, who've already paid up front for their year's admission, it means another $406 for my family of 4 for the exclusive 7-midnight party time that we wouldn't have access to as APs. The discount on the Christmas party this year is only $5. In pricing a trip for December, our go-to off site condo is $460 for five nights. I can't justify $406 for 5 hours when I could use almost that same amount and do a whole other off-site trip! Especially since more and more people are saying the parties are way more crowded than they have been in the past. I felt that way about last year's Halloween Party. I think we'll be saving parties or other ticketed events (if we do them) for years when we don't have APs.
