It's really sad to me that Disney treats those who want to stay at their resort longer than 5 days, to very pricey tickets (looking at a higher per day cost if you go longer than 5 days.) To me they are saying 'get out' after 5 days.... 'We don't need your money.' Unless a person can make a trip back within a year, (to maybe go 14 days total) an annual pass with blockout dates does not work, it is still too much per day compared to a 5 day pass if you can only go 7 days. An annual pass without blockout dates can only work if you live nearby. Initially Disney claimed they couldn't offer more than a 5 day Park Hopper due to fraudulent ticket use, but with the picture taking at the entry gates, signing the back of the ticket, they virtually eliminated that risk. I still get disgusted that they never did come back to offer 7 or 8 day park hoppers at a reasonable per day cost to their guests. We were there for 7 days, IN the parks this month, and STILL couldn't do everything we wanted to do. EASILY, Disney Parks, a 7-8 day Park Hopper would work. I hope you listen to your fans, Disney Parks, it would mean a lot to us!!!
