We have a weekday annual pass and use it often. In fact, we just came back from visiting Animal Kingdom today after dropping our daughter off at the airport. This was probably our 10th visit this year!! It is so easy to drive down to Disney (only an hour door to door using the turnpike and 429). We also like that we can take our time and see things we never had the time for when we had to squeeze everything into a 5-day or week vacation. There is so much to see including all the resorts...they are a site to behold. The attention to detail never ceases to amaze me when we tour the hotels.

We find that the weekday pass works fine for us as we are not interested in going during the blackout times (Xmas week, Easter week and mid summer...way too crowded) and being retired leaves the whole week free. While the weekday pass does not include parking, many times we visit one of the resorts to have lunch or just look around, park there and then take a Disney bus to the park. You can also park at Downtown Disney and take the buses to the park.

We have also purchased a Tables in Wonderland card that provides a 20% discount on food and drink (both non and alcoholic) in many of the restaurants throughout Disney. We have easily recouped the $75 initial cost for the card and we have only had it for 6 months!
