"Disney
APs" is the Unofficial Website for Disney Annual Passholders
and is also the portal into DAPS for Disney Magic.
It was created by a very special group of Disney Annual
Passholders who had a dream for a group that could be the
neighborly passholders, the APs that Walt Disney
himself would be proud of.
We meet in Disneyland and Disney's California
Adventure parks and consider this group a SANCTUARY
wherein ideas, news, trivia, tips and tricks about
the Disney Resort can be shared.
Walt
Disney once said, "We believed in our idea - a family
park where parents and children could have fun- together."
With that in mind, we welcome anyone to explore our websites
and discover the magic world, that we all love to share, of
Walt Disney.
