Domestic US Annual Pass?

[daguru]

According to some posts over at miceage.com (http://micechat.com/forums/disneyland-resort/131983-domestic-parks-ap.html), there are industry rumors about a domestic annual pass, that would include all US park (DRL and WDW)! The rumored price is to be around $800...

So the question is, would you or wouldn't you?

Unfortunately, I don't visit parks enough to justify an $800 annual pass... I can see people who live closer to the parks wanting to buy this, but it doesn't really do much for those who visit the parks only once or twice a year.
...but then, I don't think those that rarely visit the parks are the target of this...

If I owned my private Jet and could hop from the East oast to the West Coast often enough to make this worthwhile, then maybe, but most of us can't afford to go to both parks in one year and the annual pass for the one you can go to makes more financial ssnse. This doubles the price and the odds of getting that much use out of it seems VERY rare to me

I'll probably never buy another WDW annual pass since they closed Pleasure Island. Why bother now. Discounts aren't great, you get nothing extra, and the packages available are far better with tickets.

Ya...I agree with everyone else, so far. i don't go often enough....and the discount packages are much better!

AP are good for people who live close like i did. Then it would be great however I agree 800 is a little steep if you dont get out much !!!!!!

Breaking news…we just announced during Disney’s annual shareholders meeting that a new premium annual pass for admission to the parks at both Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort will be offered beginning Thursday. It’s called “Disney Premier Passport” and it’ll feature the same benefits you get with the “premium” annual passes for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts for $700, plus applicable- sales tax.

So, what’s in it for you? At Walt Disney World:
Unlimited admission for a period of one year to all four Walt Disney World Theme Parks, including the ability to visit multiple parks on the same day.
Unlimited admission to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water Parks
Unlimited admission to DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex (valid only on event days; some events require an additional admission charge) and Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course (greens fee only. Tee time reservations are required and subject to availability)
Parking at all four Theme Parks
Subscription to Mickey Monitor, a collectible Passholder-only publication

And at Disneyland Resort:
Unlimited admission to both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure Parks for a period of one year, including the ability to visit multiple parks on the same day.
Parking at any pay-on-entry parking lot
Subscription to Backstage Pass.
Complimentary subscription to Disney’s Family Fun Magazine (one per household)

If you’re already holding a Premium Annual Pass for both Resorts, you’ll automatically be issued a “Disney Premier Passport” – with an expiration date based on the later of the two annual passes. You may also upgrade your annual or seasonal pass for one resort to a “Disney Premier Passport” for an additional fee.

The Passport will be available for sale at the Disneyland Resort box office and Walt Disney World Guest Relations windows beginning tomorrow. So, sound interesting? Let us know what you think.
