mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Total waste of money, but so are the club level rooms Tri-Circle-D 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Wowowoowowwwowoow. So 100 bucks for a couple to guarantee only that they get on 3 extra rides that day? Suckersssssss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kadancer 82 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Not for me. Not enough bang for my buck! For a family of four that's an extra $200 per day. No way. No how. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 3 day minimum, so 150.00 per person plus tax for 9 extra fastpasses. Ouch! I wonder how long it will be before this goes resort wide. Like I said in the other thread, I'll stick to my 3 a day. Not that I'll probably ever stay in club level anyway. I could see this being worth it for some families that may only get a couple of park days and have never been before and want to try to do as much as possible. But I would think this only being available to the higher priced rooms cuts a lot of those same families out at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specularius 102 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Does the 3 extra passes include 1 top tier ride or 3 top tier rides? It would be an easier pill to swallow if it included 3 top tier rides and let you get them 70 days out instead of 60 days. That would sell like Main Street Cinnamon Rolls!

But they didn't last... just like the express buses between the parks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I find the 3 day minimum interesting, and so Disney. It seems this would be more of an advantage for people who weren't going to already spend 3 days in the parks but it's not offered to them. With a little forethought and some line standing, at most times of the year, couldn't you already do all those attractions you can get an extra FP for. But then I guess this isn't marketed to people like me who would just plan and stand instead of spend. lightbikes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I am just cheap, but this is nuts - just how many more ways can they find to empty peoples pockets? Never mind, I am sure they can think of gazillions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wait until they block you from bringing in outside food and drink! Busch really cracked down a couple of years ago, and last summer they blocked all food from Adventure Island the Tampa water park.

I wouldn't be surprised if that actually hurt their business. Let me rephrase that not hurt their business but brought their attendance down some. I think a lot of people used to go a lot in the summer because you could get good deals on tickets and the being able to take your own food made it a reasonable thing to do. Especially with kids out of school in the summer, for some it was an every weekend outing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 disney is just catching up to the other parks. If this gets even a little traction they will start selling them to everyone. Which will make it even harder to get regular FPs. And the wait times will get even longer. And if it’s really succcessful I can see free FPs going bye bye US charges $59.00 for their express pass. And if you stay at one of their deluxe resorts they give you the unlimited Express pass.
