So far they're the only ones reporting it. Not even OTPN and WDWMagic have anything - and they usually post stuff as soon as it pops up on the internal Disney site. FWIW I've still yet to see anything from anyone else on Star Wars Weekends either. Hmmm.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will say in some facebook groups people are reporting seeing different pricing and verbage on signs at the ticket booths this evening. And FL Res with payment plans are saying they just renewed and were given higher amounts. Will see tomorrow I guess. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 And the ticket systems at least are down for maintenance as of right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FEARtheEERS 18 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Omg. Panic is setting in for me! I am ready to renew. I saw a comment on there about tiw also changing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 In the comments... AnonymousOctober 3, 2015 at 10:09 PM Prices are increasing. Disney Quest is going away. Photo Pass perk coming to replace it. ALL will get free parking. Existing passes will have the existing perks unless you exchange it at Guest Services, but you will lose Disney Quest (until it closes). Tiers are: Epcot After 4, Weekday Select, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus, and Premier. Tables In Wonderland changes also coming. AnonymousOctober 3, 2015 at 10:11 PM Also forgot to add… Gold is new tier. Same as Silver but no summer blackout dates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Assuming "Anonymous" knows what s/he is talking about, hearing that TIW "changes" are coming is better than hearing it's going away completely, as has been rumored for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 What I want to know...is how come I try to get on Disney's sites, to see what passholder discounts might be out there... the page NEVER opens up. Disney's website can be so frustrating Oh, and if this ticket-change rumor is true, wonder if that will apply to us (we purchased an annual pass through AAA several months back, but are not activating it until we get to the Fort this month).

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hmmm... okay, just got one page to open; I think the rumor might be true as it says this: We have recently introduced a whole new set of passes, designed to offer a wider variety of options and entitlements to better fit your needs. If you purchased your current pass before October 4, 2015, your current pass has not changed and your existing benefits will remain valid through your pass expiration date. Please continue to enjoy your pass as you always have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Info from the Disney website on annual passes for non-FL residents and non-DVC members: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/passes/ Info on TIW: http://tablesinwonderland.com/. Price has gone up to $150 for annual/seasonal APs and DVC members, $175 for Florida residents. Ouch. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Price has gone up to $150 for annual/seasonal APs and DVC members, $175 for Florida residents. Ouch. Yeah.. how much was it? I was thinking $100 if you had an AP? I was just looking at this and I don't think it would save us any money as we would have to absorb the $150 cost PLUS they automatically add 18% gratuity, which we do not do at the buffet style restaurants... I mean, all they do is bring us one or two drinks and clear a couple of plates and for that they get a tip of $15-$20? Nope. I was a server for years and while I would have jumped at a big tip, I would not have expected it for a buffet restaurant. I am confused on one thing, it states that the gratuity will be added to all meals (except counter), but what about things like the Hoop-Dee-Doo where the ticket price (is suppose to) include gratuity?

swimmarz 72 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Glad I purchased my passes last weekI just paid $350.83They new ones are $409.16Then Now will include parking,but I will stay on site so I already get that anyways Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FEARtheEERS 18 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Annual passes have always included parking. I'm pretty ticked off because I could have renewed in about a week. Now I have to pay much more. This pic shows the price for premium and premium plus. They are advertising more perks that were already in place. Not cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swimmarz 72 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Only the annual pass and up included parking before, this is new for the 3 lower tiers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah.. how much was it? I was thinking $100 if you had an AP? About 5-6 years ago it was $75 with an AP. Then it went up to $100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 For TIW and having DVC most of the places already give a DVC discount to pay $150 for TIW I think for us just using the DVC discount works out the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Parking is now $20 https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/parking/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FEARtheEERS 18 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 After logging on to look at my options, I realized that I could have renewed 60 days before my anniversary date. That stings. Could have saved at least $400 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Disney's website can be so frustrating Oh, and if this ticket-change rumor is true, wonder if that will apply to us (we purchased an annual pass through AAA several months back, but are not activating it until we get to the Fort this month). I was just on the Disney website and they have changed it over to what they described above. Looks like the seasonal pass that I bought a month ago is equivalent to a silver pass now. I haven't activated it yet either so it will be interesting to see what happens and if we get what they are describing for the silver pass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Oh and for informational purposes the Photopass Downloads do not extend to your friends and family for this. From the page where you would purchase your pass. Disney PhotoPass DownloadsThe Disney Platinum Plus Pass, Disney Platinum Pass and Disney Gold Pass include a benefit that lets you access and download Disney PhotoPass photos captured in your account from the first valid date of your pass until your pass expires. Plus, access and downloading is available after pass expiration for as long as the photo is stored in the system (365 days from date of capture).To start using this benefit, simply link your pass to the Disney account you will use to retrieve photos. Entitlement includes discounted prices on prints and physical product purchases, is non-transferable and benefits do not extend to photos of Family & Friends. Access and downloading is not available for photos captured after pass expiration or after a pass is removed from a Disney account. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I do think it is interesting that for an AP holder the pictures will live for 365 days from the point taken and be acciessible for that period of time even if the pass is expired.
