My first was in 2006. We actually bought 8 day hopper passes (yes 8) and it wasn't enough, so we upgraded them to annual passes. - VanDisney

July 24, 2009. Got a premium pass, & the only reason I got it was so I could take my two sis's for their birthday, cuz that was when everyone got in free on their birthday. I liked it so much that I decided to renew it last year, & again this year. Let's just say I'm making up for lost time in my childhood cuz I've gone sooo much in recent months. - sammy.aceves

Cool alot of new pass holders.... When we lived in so cal we were at the park twice a week at least....miss it alot.. especially with the kids now. Might be able to get passes again.. we shall see.. with ticket prices as high as they ate now it seems even more worth getting a pass... time will tell.. thanks for the feedback - Disneylanddad702

I'm pretty sure my first one was 1980 or 81 I got it after high school and I think I paid around 80 dollars. My roomate and I would go afterwork in the summer to cool off because we had no A/C. Also she'd go swing dancing. - joyzmom
