I had to let my Annual Pass go a couple years ago because the price was becoming prohibitive.
I understand that we all don’t have all the money in the world to spend on theme park vacations.
It was sort of heartbreaking, because while I knew I wasn’t going to be going often enough to make the pass worth owning, not having it also helped ensure that I would visit Disneyland less often.
I’ve never stayed in a Disneyland Resort hotel unless I was either splitting the cost with several people or otherwise had the room covered for me (it’s nice to have friends who are Disney Vacation Club members) because the rooms, even at the cheapest hotels, are just too expensive.
