Re: Questions for Disneyland AP's

I guess the discounts at the restaurants will make up for the cost of the AP over the hoppers I would need.
Which Annual Pass are you going to get? I think all but the premium, which has no blackout dates, will be blacked out Thanksgiving week. You might want to check. If it is, admission on a blackout day is discounted (I think it's $25) so that's something to consider if it will still keep you under the premium price. We used to buy the deluxe level, which had some blackout dates but the least.

Also, I think only the premium has the 20% discount and I think it's only at certain restaurants (sit-down ones).

Last time we had passes, which was in 2003, it was only an additional $10 to upgrade your pass from a one-park pass to a two-park pass. DCA was still brand new then, so they may all be two-park passes now. I'm not sure, but that's certainly something else you can check out. I don't know if they still sell Disneyland Park-only passes. I'm guessing probably not, but ask.

Something else the premium had that the others don't was free parking - with the other passes you had to buy a parking pass, which was $35 last time we purchased it (and you only need to buy one parking pass per family - we would put it on our son's pass so that either of us could take him without the other and still get parking)
