Like I'm sure many of you, I've been a WDW annual passholder (non-Florida resident) for several years now. First off, it's worth every penny, and this is NOT a gripe list or a list of complaints at all, but sometimes in my own fantasyland I wish there would be some more benefits ...
1. The annual pass itself -- this has been covered before, but the pass itself is still made of this flexible cardboard-like material. Yes, it really is sturdy and hard to rip, but don't you think it would make more sense to have it made of the same material as the credit-card-like plastic room keys?
This may be stretching it, but how about with our picture on it (like the old park hoppers) or maybe like an ID with a lanyard?
2. Annual pass lounges -- what happened to these? These were lounges in the parks in years past that annual passholders had access to for a quick break, etc. Bring them back!! Not necessarily looking for a private club (though that would be cool) but realistically one per park could be set up kind of like a baby care center!
3. Separate lines -- ok, not necessarily VIP status, but how about being able to use a separate turnstile entrance? If not dedicate a turnstile to AP holders, how about letting us use the Cast member ones (CMs please don't flame me :) ). Going back to the pass itself, instead of having to insert in into a passreader, you can scan it like a grocery scanner, so it would be quicker!
3a. AP Fastpass -- ahhh ... I wish you could use your AP like a dream fastpass ... 'nuff said.
Again, I really can't complain, the AP is awesome as it is, but ... again, my fantasy world.
What do you think?
