Disney USA Unveils "premier passport"

[pitchnoir]

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 park hopping privileges
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 park hopping privileges
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.

As a shareholder, I was invited to that meeting - but it was in Texas, and I was in London. Never mind eh!

Pretty cool idea- if I lived over there I'd buy one every year!

$700 is pretty good for 6 world class theme parks, two waterparks and everything else. I still think Merlin's is better, though. Although there aren't as many parks, they're so much closer together (than Florida and California, not than the parks within the resorts) and you can have great fun with 4-5 days in london, doing Chezzerz, Thorpe, Legoland and a day for Dungeons, Eye, Aquarium and Waxworks.
