Premium Annual Pass vs Annual Pass

[Bookwood]

I think this year I can justify once again getting an Annual Pass- I just am not sure I wanmt to renew my Premium Annual Pass or just go with the regular AP. I have never been to Pleasure Island (at night), but really like the water parks!! My only thought is paying so much for only 1 water park visit is kinda silly. (my trip in July I'm sure I'll get to a water park once but I'm thinkin' unless we have some really warm January weather for the Half marathon I won't be using the water parks then) Also if I renew my PAP now (dated 4/3) It may not be good for next year at spring break if I can get down to visit my folks then (they live 4 hours away in Bonita Springs). What would you do???

Thanks,

Pam,

I'm thinking the regular annual pass makes more sense for you, based on these points in your post:

1. You're not planning to haunt Pleasure Island :joyDance: :drinking: .

2. You're not planning on water parks every day of your July visit.

3. You'd like to fit in all 3 trips (July, Jan, and spring break 2005) on a single pass. This is actually the point that carries the most weight for me! By waiting until your July trip to get your annual pass, I think you'd get the most out of your money.

Just my 2 cents -- will be interesting to see what other Taginators have as advice for you. :talking:

I agree with Sandar - if I am understanding right and you aren't going until July. Most of the time it just doesn't make sense to renew a pass at the discounted rate because you wouldn't be using it soon enough to make the discount worth it.

Also if the only plus you will use is one day at the water park you should just stick with the regular AP.

I am with Sandar & Rosebud. Sounds like you will get the most for your money by waiting until July to get a regular AP.

And I believe you get a $3 or $4 discount on a ticket to either waterpark if you show them your AP. Just saves you a few extra bucks...

Unless you know you'll visit the waterparks several times AND you'll be spending some nights at PI, I'd say you are better served with the regular AP. A PI AP is only about $55, so if you are just going to visit PI and not the waterparks, the 4-park AP plus the PI AP is what you want. There is also an AP for just the waterparks but that is worthwhile only if you'll be spending several (4 or more) days at the waterparks.

Thanks everyone for confirming what I already suspected. It also give me the option of no purchasing an AP at all if the best discouts for our trip are Disney Visa or open. It's just hard to say no to the easy way to renew. (I guess I'm that lazy)!!
