I seriously hope they keep these forever! It was awesome to have a dedicated line with people who had proper ticketing and knew how to use it!

Got the AP cards for me and the fam only after asking for them, after activation. I thought it was weird after that they didn't offer them to us, it was more of a "hey by the way are we supposed to get these?" ...then, "Oh yeah here you go" Plus pass holder lines are a thing at int. Gateway. Tron opened in tomorrowland today...o_O

I'll report back tonight on AP cards issued to new pass holders, and special lines at the international gateway. Also, SWL and PtwoA open today, FYI.:):):)

The passholder line is a nice attempt to tell us TWDC likes our money, but in my experience thus far it has only been faster than the normal lines once. My other family members won't even use it because it is too slow. Nice, gimmicky, no real value.

Sort of. You get a Magic Band just for being a pass holder, in addition to any MB you might get for a resort stay.

NOOOO!

So do passholders get a special magic band?

This is nice. I can imagine if I wasn't a passholder - the first time I had to wait in line twice would be the last time I made that mistake ...

COMPLETELY TRUE! We were there since 12/11/16 until 12/27/16 and the Passholder line was incredibly beneficial once the holiday crowds arrived on the 23rd. During our entire stay the bag check lines were extremely long and so slow. Even before the holiday crowds artived, the guards were checking each bag meticulously, every zipper, every pockets. Plus they were pretty much asking everyon to go through the metal detectors. We had reservations for dinner one night and we almost didn't make it in time, because of the bag check and metal detectors.
