Like OP said, I have to take time off months in advance, we fly in (and we do not fly SWA, so on American, changes are $200 per person per change, so prohibitive for 4-6 people which is our family size), and we like to stay onsite (which would be able to be canceled prior to 5 days before check in). We also have to work around our children's school schedules which have zero flexibility. I have done a lot of the other So. Cal things I want to do on other trips, so if I was using this pass, I would want to use my vacation days on DLR, not other activities if my reservations didn't come through. So this pass just isn't right for us. Hope some of you find it works for you, and I will be interested in the updates.
