Long Live Annual Passes. |

Fri 3/16/2001 8:37a | Hopefully, the prices have not gone up, and I think the SoCal 2-park was $150 in December. I am so jazzed, because my husband and I have SoCal passes that expire March 29th, and our trip is planned for the 26-29th. Could I be any luckier? Yea! |

Fri 3/16/2001 9:11a | When I met with the Mondavi people about having a party at the Golden Vine Winery they indicated that Disney had decided to resume annual passport sales, though the date of resumption is actually a month earlier than the Mondavi people expected. Anyway, this was decided with no small amount of pressure from Mondavi and Puck who need APs to help get their restaurants profitable. I am so very happy with this decision, DCA will benefit immensly and two very fine dining experiences (Golden Vine and Avalon cove) can become far more accessible to the vast So Cal population.
As to something else interesting, I was told that AP holders who have the 2 Park Passport actually have a FAR HIGHER approval rating of DCA than regular $43 ticket holders (and AP holders are always thought of as hyper critical customers?). The exit surveys for $43 guests are coming in very negative, and guess what--the two high end restaurants are listed in the complaint column all the time. $43 guests can't believe that the park has such high priced dining, and though they choose not to eat there, they do choose to complain about even coming across restaurants that expect a guest to pay $65 or so per person. AP types rarely lodge this complaint and even seem delighted that there is 'special' dining. Same thing for Resort guests that have park hopper passports--no measurable complaints. I think this has to do with the mindset of a guest that is having a 'resort/parkhopping' experience versus a single day single park adventure. Which leads me to really hope that a true park-hopper pass is next for the general guest population. This west coast resort needs to have some policies in place that reflect the wild success and satisfaction of its east coast counterpart. |

Fri 3/16/2001 9:42a | That not only helps your argument, Jim, it concludes it!
I have a couple of friends who will be jazzed by this news, because they would like to upgrade their So. Cal. passes to Deluxe, so they can keep going in the summer! :-) |

-- people sure can act like little babies when they complain...
Like there aren't any choices of food in the Park! |
