Pat says
I still don’t understand why discounts are only offered to Florida residents. What about the rest of us who love Disney? I wonder if anyone knows why.
Thanks. And AJ, I always love your updated.
Sue says
Will WDW be offering discounts for those of us that aren’t pass holders, military or Florida residents? I’ve noticed none have been available for quite awhile.
DFB Sarah says
Sue, we are watching and will report. Unfortunately Disney hasn’t released any info about upcoming discounts.
Bart says
We were bummed about the annual passes not being for sale, but maybe now that the crowd levels are going down, Disney will slowly open up annual passes. Hopefully by the end of January, cause that’s when we go. LOL.
