Having CT included was one of the major selling points of the memberships. I suppose they could claim that this event isn't technically Christmas Town, but I think it would be a really disingenuous move.
Busch Gardens Christmas Celebration 2020
- Thread starter netdvn
- Start date
And Fun Cards don't typically get Howl-o-scream, but they got Halloween Harvest. Being that they still aren't considering the park to be officially open, I'd bet that this won't be considered Christmastown, and that legacy passes, preschool passes, and even 2020 fun cards will be eligible.
I don't know that pre school passes will be extended for Christmas like they were for Halloween Harvest.
The Fun cards that they just had for sale. Were specifically offered as ending with Halloween harvest and being good for next summer. Normally they sell a fall fun card during HOS that is a similar deal every year. I would bet that with this being Christmas they will want to attempt to make as much as possible. I don't see them giving anyone but members free admission just like they normally do for Christmas Town.
I think people are going off of the park's messaging on the Preschool Passes: The deadline for requesting one was extended to early November. My guess is that they feel like so few people have claimed them, relatively, that as long as they don't heavily advertise when the cutoff date is for claiming them, enough people will miss the date and end up buying tickets anyway.
As for the Fun Cards, typically they offer a Christmas Town fun card, so my guess is you might see a "Holiday Fun Card" that gives full access to the event along with next summer, but as you note this will definitely leave pass holders as the odd ones out.
Just talked to a rep on the phone and they said annual passes will not be allowed for the Christmas event. They also said preschool passes will not be accepted, which directly contradicts what others were told over the phone, according to Facebook posts. Who knows about that at this point.
Also no new information about if a Christmas event fun card will be available. Hopefully answers later today!

A little write up on the changes coming to BGT's CT this year. We can expect to see some similar changes at BGW. Not all of these will happen here though.

Busch Gardens to Hold Modified Version of Christmas Town

Point blank if they don't honor them then they need to not charge for them for the time of the event. But if they are going to continue to bill for them then this nothing but getting greedy and has the potential to blow up in their faces as a PR disaster especially given that memberships were sold with the promise of Christmas Town being included and that they have honored them for all other events.
Not talking about memberships but legacy annual passes and fun cards. They traditionally don't get into Christmas Town without paying for a ticket. So it's not unfeasible for them to think that they won't get in for this event.
Oh got yeah those haven't been honored for past Christmas events so I definitely support that the term "no annual passes" instead of legacy passes lead me to interpret it as all passes.
