Disneyland Resort

Annual Passes

The Disneyland Resort offers annual passes as a way for guests who plan to visit multiple times during the year to save significant money. A guests with a "2 Park" Premium Annual Passport will, for example, break even after visiting Disneyland only thirty times during the course of a year.

Some annual pass holders (or APs) are complete fanatics about the resort, visiting at every day or more. A few of these fanatics have come to the attention of cast members, and not necessarily in a good way.

"Annual pass holders, and particularly premium APs, are a total pain in the ass," said April Marie Cummings, a cast member who wishes to remain anonymous. "They constantly complain about cracked paint, whine that this or that thing isn't ‘what Walt would have wanted,' and ask us to eject people from the park because they smell like they've chewed gum. They are also always pumping us for information about what is changing in the park, when refurbs are going to be done, and things like that. We have sort of an informal policy to just make stuff up if someone gets annoying. Just yesterday I told an AP guy that Disneyland was going to be making big improvements to its classic attractions for the park's 50th anniversary, and he believed me! The sad SOB probably spent the rest of the night bragging about it to other nuts on the Internet."

A variety of annual passes is available, each offering a different level of benefits.
