Discounts
I can’t imagine going to Disneyland without our AP discounts. You save 15% on food, and 20% on merch. And believe me, it adds up fast. And it’s not just in the parks. Most of Downtown Disney gives an AP discount.
On top of food and merch, there are special deals on hotel rooms, tours, even the spa at the Grand Californian gives an AP discount.
Parking
Parking at Disneyland for standard vehicles is $20 a day, RVs are more. We save at least (AT LEAST) $300 a year on parking with our AP. You guys it’s GOLD.
Special Events
There are actually lots of extra AP opportunities in the parks, from special meet and greets, to activity areas with free buttons and drinks. You also get email updates about new things coming to the parks, and new AP opportunities regularly.
So how do we make it worth it?
Like I mentioned before, the price tag is a lot less shocking if you do monthly installments. Plus, since we’re all equally devoted to the magic, it helps we’re all on board with monthly mini-trips with a few bigger trips thrown in sporadically. My recommendation? Ditch your current friends and get a group that’s as devoted as you are.
Fellow AP holders, did I miss any perks?
Did you know there’s a pandemic? Kinda hard to miss these days
I had already planned on writing this but truly right as I began outlining, I checked my phone and Disneyland announced they will be closing starting March 14th until the end of the month. And as more and more reports roll out, it’s been recommended to stay in, and distance yourself from others if possible.
But not to fret! Kat, Stephen, and I have incorporated lots of things into our everyday lives to keep the Disney magic alive and well even if we’re not in the parks and I’m going to share those ideas with you. You won’t even notice the crushing loneliness (JUST JOKING!).
