I think there are some block-out days in April. Glad to see Disney wants to entice the locals, BUT I'm disappointed the enticement just isn't that attractive. The ticket isn't a parkhopper. I don't remember the last time I spent a whole day at one park. And the quick expiration date is another rip-off. Gosh, I remember when Disney tickets automatically had no expiration date. Looks to me like Disney wants to give the impression this is a great deal. I'm just not convinced it is. I probably won't bite on this offer, but wondered what other FL residents (or non-residents) thought...

And I am glad they are starting to consider discounting Park Admission. I never stay on property anymore so those free room deals don't entice me at all. But being a non-FL resident. They still haven't come up with a deal to entice me.
Originally Posted By leobloom I went back and checked the story, and it's actually "a pair of one-park/one-day passes for $99" plux tax. I incorrectly thought it was a 2-day ticket that only one person could use. But since I was only considering a visit on my wife's birthday, this still doesn't encourage me to bite the promotional hook. Now if they still had the $100, 4-day Play ticket, we might do some business.

It's not worth it! (Now back to the gutter...)

Originally Posted By leobloom At Universal, right now, I think $99 will get FL residents a pass that's good until the end of the year. A few years ago, I got a 2 year AP to Universal for around $150.
