I know it's an unpopular opinion but I'm all for throttling the benefits Florida AP holders receive.
Between the immense discount in the pass, being able to pay in installments, etc they get a leg up on the out of state AP holder.
You're most probably right! Disney keeps cutting Florida resident benefits.
When I bought my pass, I didn't have an option for Gold or silver. I got Platinum. Are those only for FL residents?
I might buy a Silver AP voucher and just wait to activate it until later next year.
Look at it this way -we have to make up the difference with the resort parking fees because we can’t fly and ride ME. I calculated my parking fees for my planned trips for next year, at a value, and it will be almost $500.00 unless I get a friend to drop me off and pick me up. A lot of Floridians won’t have that option. It all averages out in the end. We all suffer at the whims of Disney . . .

Wow, that parking fee sure adds up! Do you get free parking at the parks like non-resident AP's? That would be enough to get me staying offsite.
Welcome to what they have been doing to CA residents at the DLR for years and years now. One pass gets you zero weekend days, the second gets you no Saturdays and like 12 Sundays. You guys still have way better benefits then we do on the West Coast.
Us too, on buying wdw APs. The APs in Cali are out of whack price wise and no renewal discount. We will see what the next year brings at WDW...So true. We only last year moved away from CA and gave up our passes, but yeah...the prices were getting absolutely insane and it seemed like every year they were taking away days and/or benefits. Many, many times we considered not renewing because for a family of 3 the cost was astronomical...but then H would get an unexpected bonus or something and we'd end up caving and buying one. And as an aside, I find it absolutely ridiculous that the no-blockout-dates Disneyland AP costs MORE than the no-blockout-dates WDW AP! We actually bought WDW APs in April because we have multiple trips planned in the next year, and we couldn't believe we're paying LESS for 4 parks than we did for just 2 in CA!
I remember when we first bought our DL APs they were $199 with no blockout dates...
We drive from Oklahoma so will still have resort parking fees even with my AP.Look at it this way -we have to make up the difference with the resort parking fees because we can’t fly and ride ME.

Not all out of state folks come without a car.
Very interesting. I think they are going to redo all of the passes. I currently have a platinum AP. We bought the voucher last year via DVC. I believe we paid about $550 each. From what I now see, that pass is $950 for the general public. For a family of five, that adds up quickly. Looking at a lower tier tick would be my next option, but look at this calendar...
Unfortunately, with a wife that works for the schools, and kids that are in school, our visits are a weekly trip each summer, and perhaps a few long weekends. One weekend is MLK. So Saturday of MLK, the only park we could go to would be AK.
While Silver is not an option for me at this point, Gold is. But it has its own blackout dates. If they start to look more the "Theme Park Select" dates, and if the cost of the other AP continue to rise, we may have to start making other choices about our vacation plans...

I believe you can enter multiple parks in the same day as long as the park you want to enter is not blocked out on that day. The blockout dates are different for each park with the Theme Park Select Pass.Going to disney world in december 2018. I am deciding betweent the florida resident theme park select, or the silver annual pass It specifically states that you can visit all four on the same day if you buy the silver, but the theme park select doesn't specify, can anyone tell me if you can park hop with the florida theme park select pass?
