So would any of you actually buy? Do you see value in it? What do you think of the potential price point? Considering I can have WDW, DL AND DLP APs for about that price, I won't. FWIW, I believe this will include all parks in WDW (water parks and DQ too), the two DLR parks and parking at both resorts for 365 days a year. Expect some kind of LE pin and some extra discount (I had heard a significant, like 30%, across the board merchandise discount was being talked about ... but this was when the economy was at its worst ... I'd expect more like 15-20%) Your thoughts? (if anyone is still reading here)

Originally Posted By Mr X I always thought that people don't really cross the country for Disney, but perhaps it would work okay in terms of getting it into the hands of California folks who nevertheless spend a week (or 2) at WDW. I REALLY can't see many sales the other way round though, hard to imagine there are all that many WDW frequenters who also throw Anaheim into their plans (well, I do ).

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Yeah, I think DVCers would be a good clientele for this. My family and I were discussing the lack of a "Disney parks" AP just the other day. I've done both resorts on one USA trip a couple of times in the past, so if I was spending long enough there and / or the discount was significant enough, I'd possibly be interested.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Back in the days before Disney lost their soul, this would have been of interest. But I no longer have the urge to go to DL and WDW within the same year. We will no doubt head back to California after Carsland open. And we have talked a little of Fla, but more because the kids are getting old enough to enjoy UNO, Sea World and Kennedy Space Centre (WDW would at best get 4 days of our time, not 14).
Originally Posted By DouglasDubh I plan on returning to both resorts within the year, so if it were cheaper than buying separate ap's, and I could upgrade my current WDW ap to it, then yes.
Originally Posted By ImTempest Ditto. If we could upgrade our current AP in California, I could see us getting the "All Parks". We could borrow the in-laws timeshare in Orlando, book a cheap flight on Southwest, and be at WDW a couple of times a year. Works for me.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros How much less would this cost than just buying the AP's seperately? DL's Premium AP is just over $400, and I believe that's about what WDW's 'standard' AP costs, but both have similar features. It sounds like this will have the waterparks and DQ in WDW, along with some more discounts, but I'm just not sure how practical it is, compared to just buying two of them, even if you will be visiting both places a lot. And most of the people who would want this probably already have more than one AP, with different expiration dates. Is there going to be some way to prorate the difference when you switch over, or will you have a US parks AP and a WDW AP at the same time because the DL one already expired?
