In 2020, Disney’s California Adventure and Knott’s tried limited reopenings around COVID-19 restrictions. But can we explore and engage in a pandemic?In ending the annual pass program — refunds will be given automatically to those who paid for days beyond the parks’ closure last March — Walt Disney Co. is looking ahead to operating the parks at a reduced, reservation-only capacity when California lets them reopen.
But the move hits the parks’ most dedicated and loyal fans with uncertainty. Although Disney does not release attendance figures, the annual pass program has long been believed to hover around 1 million. Those fans who have been wanting and expecting a “Disneyland fix” now face the prospect of no longer being given priority access when the park reopens, and holding their breath to see how the reimagined membership program will look.
A replacement for the annual pass program is not expected to be implemented until the pandemic recedes enough for Disneyland Resort to welcome guests at or near its pre-coronavirus levels of attendance.
It can do this, it can raise prices, but it does not use taxpayer money for such purposes. This is one of the achievements of the United States. And when I watch the creations of such companies, I really appreciate it. 🇺🇸

I’m so glad I don’t have to see those dumb “AP” bumper stickers anymore.

This is going to upset a surprisingly large number of my adult friends who get the passes every year and spend buckets of money there. It’s practically a religion for some. Many have posted about that being the big thing they were most looking forward to after Covid.
