Got back from Disney's annual meeting... Tomorrow Disney will be releasing a new no-blackout annual pass for both parks.....
I think it's going to run about $723 for unlimited access to both coasts and the water parks at WDW. ; Considering the individual costs for the 2 AP's this is a deal. ; If they throw in a DVC discount on top of that, it would be stupid for me to not get it considering my sister-in-law lives in Long Beach and goes to Disneyland several times a week and, of course, we go at least 2 weeks to WDW
Hmmm...thanks for posting this Roger. ; It might actually be worth looking into it for us this year. ; Ray, that would be awesome if they were offering a DVC discount. ; I hope you'll keep us posted!
that was about the only news to come out of the meeting. ; Other than 'No, we're not going to release Song of the South, stop asking.' ; or some guy complaining about the Disney Dining Plan.... :
Disney posted an audio webcast of the meeting... http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=129198&p=irol-eventDetails&EventId=2649084 Pay no attention to the person at 01:24:52....
From what I've heard, Disney acknowledges there is a problem with the DDP and trying to find a way to close some of the loopholes that the more "Experienced" guests have found and exploited (i.e. booking multiple ADRs at the same time at different dining establishments).
Yes, that is what Jay Rasulo and Bob Iger said. ; : I hope they figure something out by the end of April. ; Fastpass needs to be fixed as well.[nb]My idea would be to limit one showpass per passcard for every 4/6 weeks until after Labor Day.[/nb] Bob Iger even brings up problems with Fastpass later on when asked why Fastpass doesn't exist for Dumbo at Disneyland. ; "Because they would be out of them early in the day". ; I really think the end of Fastpass as it currently exists is coming. ; Soon. ; The rumors of the new Dumbo queue system are probably what the new system will be.
