RE: BGW Attendance Drops 3.4%
Though I won't say Scout is totally right, the number of AP holders is higher than you would ever think.
Consider retirees who could live in Virginia, but say, have a DVC membership that allows them to go down 4 times a year. If these people would want to go to see Illuminations and ride the Rock n' Roller Coaster every time they go, that's where the season pass becomes justified.
My parents have a DVC membership to do just this thing. I know it's not rare, considering they market packages like this.
Disney gets their attendance with combined in-state, out of state, and even international APs, along with it being a resort that happens to be synonymous with theme park resorts. Cedar Point is an Ohio Disneyland, not the other way around Busch is for daytrippers, weekenders, and the 12 people who do Colonial Williamsburg and BGW as a week trip.
