Fri 10/16/2009 9:36a | AS many as now.
And if I were local, probably about 6 times a year (maybe more - depends on whether there were multi day tickets still) |

So if there were no AP's and you lived locally, you would be willing to spend at a minimum of $400 six times a year to go to DL? I base that on the fact that you are a family of 4. If they had a multiday ticket that would be closer to $600 or $700 at a time.
Many locals can probably afford the s.cal passes now. But at that price many probabably would be priced out of the parks completely.
While that would be great for the guests that are there with having smaller crowds, you get into the fact that smaller crowds means less money for Disneyland to grow or improve anything. Means less money for shows and entertainers.
I would only guess that if they priced the parks out of reach for the locals like that, they would then have less success with the city counsil and residents of Anaheim to get things passed in their favor. If the locals couldn't enjoy the parks, why would they pass items to help improve the parks? |

I'd stand outside DL with my face pressed against the gates cryin my heart out.
I'd probably go once a month. |

Fri 10/16/2009 9:48a | WEll, yes, it is true, I would much rather pay for quality. Frankly, Disneyland is in line with other premium entertainments - concerts, sporting events etc.
The commoditised abuse of a fan base that treat is as a mall means we get poorer quality experiences. TDL always up the anti because they have to try harder to get people to buy the day tickets and expensive APs (nearly 2x the cost of DL premium AP).
I would much rather we had a quality model, and I would be willing to pay for it too. |

Fri 10/16/2009 9:50a | So yes, I would happily pay $2000 a year for a family AP or the single admissions to get that return to quality. |
