My last meal as a Disneyland annual pass holder. So sad😰
I can empathize. The time and money I have spent on our Disney visits has been to help me heal my mental health. It's been my reprieve from a big heavy world. Like a CM told me last week - Disney works very hard to give their guests a 'magic bubble' experience. That safety zone has been a huge coping mechanism for me. Letting my pass expire is simply not an option for either my husband or I. I have had to find some creative ways to save and make our trips come together. I really hope you find a way to renew soon. - MrsMears

Right there with you. My AP is my path to maintaining my mental health. :-) - alankeno 57.4 #3617 10:05PM
Cheaper than my therapist was - MarshaMouse 2872.1 #15 10:52PM
I can relate to your post. I work in social services. We see a lot and its easy to take the job home with you, so to speak . Disneyland is one form of Self Care for me. - FairyGrandmother 119.8 #2748 2:20AM
I also work in social services. Disneyland is a place to just enjoy the magic - LaPearleNoir 574.4 #192 6:08AM
We will never let our passes expire either. It literally is the place that has helped me deal with so many things. I really hope you can renew soon. - MrsSchnooks 609.9 #179 10:35AM
I never thought of it like this, as a form of therapy. Now, if only an AP were tax deductible. :-/ - nerdgirl 25.9 #4607 10:44AM
There are children in Africa who will never get to go...or eat a plate of pastas like that. - Sweet_Irish_Cream

Do they know its Christmas time at all? - Mouse4life 1085.8 #78 8:44PM

Sad that the management feels the need to squeeze out the most loyal customers just to make room for tourists who buy more souvenirs. - Firelt

Wouldn't that make the tourists the most loyal customers then? Pretty flawed logic. How about the price increases effect everyone, and it's sad when some families can't go now. - madsdad 1130.7 #72 7:56PM
Psh, Idk what you're talking about. I'm an AP and I always manage to walk out of the Parks with more stuff than I need... - KylaShea 533.2 #215 8:05PM
Well, Firelt, you are lucky to have gotten new APs in December. You cannot have a little compassion for her bc it's her last day? At this app we are family and a comment like this does zero good. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1803.2 #42 8:06PM
If they *really* wanted to squeeze out passholders, I imagine their first step would be to stop selling passes. - JustCantWait 817.7 #113 8:20PM
It doesn't take much from management to squeeze me. Anything with a glowy cube and they're free to squeeze away. 😉 - Waites4DodgerEars 668.5 #157 8:31PM
But I love buying souvenirs.. you should see all my pin and merch videos on YouTube, lol. I grew up surrounded by Disney souvenirs, in fact I'm just now realizing how most of our old family pictures at least one of my sisters or parents is wearing a Disney shirt. :D - MrsMears 212.5 #1456 9:04PM
I for one have personally experienced how much Disney appreciates its passholders. They really do some great things for their clientele. - aidensmama 336.6 #446 9:05PM
Love the name change, Kyla, and congrats on 500! - MissMolly 698.6 #141 7:27AM
I can imagine that feeling but like Jacqueline said, cherish and enjoy and be thankful it was yours! Hope you find a way to renew soon :-) - MarshaMouse

I had to face this same situation back in August. I had trouble finding ways to occupy myself. MouseWait is a great way to fill that space. The pics of the parks gives me hope, to return once again! - CaptainPirateKalven

Always a sad day. I feel a bit like that on all my last days. Then I use MW and my own photo's to cheer me up! - RapunzelledColey

Disneyland scores on us every visit. We are their merchandising dream couple....Having an AP for us means more trips and more stuff...but we'd have it no other way. I hope you are able to renew soon - DumboGal70
