The AP Price Hike Blues

[katiesue]

We'll see what happens in December when ours are up. It's kind of our Mommy/Maddie thing to go to the parks but with the price increases and the huge gas cost increases as well we are close to being priced out. We may have to just go once a year for a couple of days and stay over. That's still cheaper then two passes for the both of us.

I'm at an odd juncture with most of my friends deciding not to renew their APs. After last year's price hikes I think we all saw this coming, but it's sad to see now that it's actually playing out. I don't make it to the parks nearly as much as I used to, mostly due to being out of town and way too busy when I'm in town, but I still feel like I need to have my AP. I don't know... I have a few months to consider my options. I'd like to do WDW again this autumn so I may hold off on renewing until then.

On a side note, I've always loved and admired the LoT for what we did as a group outside of the parks. Most other Disney-based groups focus solely on Disney and/or theme parks in general, but this bunch has always been about swanking, art, music, (faux)cocktails, camping, adventure, hedonism, and other things that extend our collective enjoyment of our time here on Earth. Even if we don't always have Disney, at least we've diversified enough to still have a connection <3

Ditto that. It hadn't even occurred to me that anyone would think this would cause any drifting of the group. We already drifted collectively to different interests and ways to hang out!
