I just read a post on another thread (
To those who have not returned yet - what will get you back? | The DIS Disney Discussion Forums - DISboards.com, post #99) by someone who moved close to WDW last spring just as the parks closed and has yet to actually visit the parks because of the AP and FL resident annual pass situations. Their old AP, which they never had a chance to use) is no longer good, and they couldn't upgrade it to a resident pass because they aren't being offered at this time. They can't justify the price of a one-day park ticket plus parking, so they are waiting for FL resident passes to become available again. Something to consider.
Enjoy this trip!
Thank you!! Yes they are not offering any new annual passes at this time. You are allowed to renew your current pass which we just did last month. If you have an AP, you can’t let it lapse, you have to renew before it does or you won’t get it back. ( from what I was told from cm who renewed our passes. )
We are huge Disney fans but moving to central Florida, Disney is about 35 percent of that decision. I’m not a water person, I throw up. Lol. We want sun !!!!! Sun, warmth and green!!! One thing I learned going to Florida during hurricane season, look where they stage the power trucks. That’s where I’m going. They don’t stage power trucks in harms way.
my guess the first year we move down, we won’t be spending a lot of time in the parks. Way to much to do between moving and finding a job.
I’m guessing even then, the only park we really would visit often would be Epcot to eat.
We really enjoy eating at the different resorts.
So hopefully, crossing our fingers by early to mid 2022 we’ll be back to some kind of normal. The last couple years we only spent about three hours a day in a park.
There is just so much we want to do. I want to visit the Keys again. Visit Homestead again. I have cousins in Pompano Beach I never met. I want to visit Vizcaya again, haven’t been there since I was ten. Kennedy Space center, last time we were there was the late 80s. We have friends in Bradenton and Punta Gorda I have to visit. Believe it or not I have never been to Botanical gardens.
We have friends near Jacksonville and also in The Villages. ( very nice people )
Geez, now that I’m thinking of it, maybe we will pass on APs for a few years. Lol
