At least they are doing something for APs. I think it's a nice change from before. I like the opportunity to stay two extra hours on a week night. As you mentioned in another post, it's a good way for my family and I to head to the parks during the weekdays. We don't get home from work until 5:30PM and wouldn't make it to the parks until about 6:30PM with traffic/parking, so we don't go. The extra two hours gives us the chance to go. Just my opinion. =) - EpicDio390.1 #353 2-7-13 1:59PMLike(3) Reply
I think the value is in getting to go to DL when I choose. Anything more is an extra perk. Some perks I will be excited about and take advantage of, and others won't appeal to me so I won't.
Separating the passes sounds elitist and un-Disney. A pass holder is a pass holder.

How about extended hours for premium ap holders on Saturday until 1 or 2am? That would be worth it for me. Extended hours during the week do nothing for me since I (and probably the majority of everyone else) work during the week. - JenInWonderland1025.3 #86 2-7-13 1:50PMLike Reply
Well Disney's goal is get passholders to visit during the week, so that it will ease crowds on weekends, especially in the afternoons. There is a very specific reason why they offer APs early entry on weekends right now. - NotNKansasAnymor 184.4 #1848 2-7-13 1:55PM
They know the average passholder visit is about 3 to 4 hours. They hope that with early entry in the morning that will encourage the passholders to get their 3 or 4 hours in in the morning and leave by noon, so it leaves the park with lighter crowds in the afternoon and evening. - NotNKansasAnymor 184.4 #1848 2-7-13 1:57PM
I think it's great I will be down their next week so it's nice to be able to spend more time in the parks but I wish for pass holders who renew every year without any lapse should have a special extended hours to show their loyalty and appreciation to those who love all things disney!

Roy commissioned the purchase if this leg in 1957. It was financed with revenue from the relatively successful The Great Locomotive chase. The leg and foot are actually solid platinum with a synthetic skin covering.
