With the dollar struggling to maintain 75 cents, Disney World's new Annual Pass categories with increased pricing comes at the worst time. This is the second year we opted for annual passes, we are fortunate to be eligible for the Florida Resident discount. But even with the discount, the exchange rate made this a difficult decision come renewal time, although we're good until July 2016. Unfortunately, to maintain the same level of AP next year, we'll have to fork out another $300 CND per pass, almost a thousand each, once you factor in the exchange. I think this will be the end for us, unless we can somehow work around the Gold or Silver passes, with block out dates.
I know WDW, like DL say they are trying to alleviate high volume times during the year, but it's still unfortunate. I think they realize they make much more money on single and multiple day ticket packages, over AP holders. For Canadians like us, who can make it 3- 4 times a year at most, this option is beginning to dry up. For us, we will definitely start looking at other ways to spend our time when staying in Central Florida. Parking has already gone up to $20 at WDW, I know individual tickets and tiered pricing will follow.
