Last March, during one of the final times I dined out before the pandemic shutdowns, I threw down my Disneyland annual pass along with my debit card when the bill arrived. The bartender at the downtown Los Angeles restaurant jokingly asked if the Disneyland pass was my idea of an extravagant tip. When I moved to Los Angeles, Disneyland, thanks largely to its annual pass program, became a place of community and comfort. Thus, my first reaction when Disneyland axed the annual pass program was relief. Disneyland’s annual pass program was already on this dangerous path, one set entirely on price increases rather than perks.
