Another issue I hope Disney thinks about is how purchasing the RideMax with an Annual Pass works on a daily basis versus as an add-on for the year if it's not able to be "disabled" for a day. This is what occurred to me:
I'm going to DLR in March as a chaperone with my older daughter's school music program. I'm planning on upgrading the 3-day PH I get as part of the package deal into an annual pass. I'll then have an AP to use on my mother-daughter trip in June with my YDD and when our whole family (DH is feeling left out of Disney trips) goes potentially next October. If the AP MaxPass is a good deal, I'd probably want to get it, but that's where it could get tricky. In June, I would definitely spend the $40 to get YDD a MP do we have a coordinated FP system. But in October, with all four of us traveling and likely at the park for three days, we'd need to spend another $120 to get everyone on the same system. Not a deal breaker, but it does start to add up. Would we do it? Most likely.
Why would I need us on the same system? If I have a MP and the other three in my family were using traditional FP, I'm not sure how coordinated the two systems will be to get the same FP window. And since I will have opted-in to the MP system, my annual pass would no longer work for traditional Fastpasses (per what Disney has reported a pass will not work for double-dipping from both systems). So unless there's a way to deactivate a Max Pass for the day, anybody with an AP is going to need to consider whether that's something they want to add on if they go to the parks even occasionally with non-AP friends or family members.
