This week Disneyland President Ken Potrock gave an interview to the Orange County Register about the future of Disneyland’s membership program after the end of the Annual Pass program. Following the interview, it appears that surveys about a future Passport program have begun to arrive in email boxes.
Ken Potrock said the following in the interview:
We’re going to use this time as an opportunity to develop new offerings and a new way to think about the business given the situation we find ourselves in.
We’re trying to understand: What do people want in this new world? When do they want to access our parks? How frequently do they want to access our parks? With what level of spontaneity? With what level of value? All of those kinds of things and many more.
There’s nothing off the table as we begin to think about things that are important for people. Whether it’s the number of times that they visit on a product offering. Whether it’s when. Is it midweek or weekend? Is it morning or afternoon? Is it day-part oriented? It’s all of those kinds of things that we’re incredibly curious to hear back from the guests about.
This is not designed to limit choice and flexibility. It’s designed to enhance choice and flexibility. People may say, ‘Here’s how I’ve always used it.’ People may say, ‘Here’s what I bought, but I didn’t quite use it and optimize it.’ People may say, ‘I have a different family structure or my financial situation is different. I would love to do it a little bit differently than I’ve done in the past.’ What we’re hoping to be able to provide is the choice and flexibility for all of those different evolving states.
