well in my family we all have a gold card and it seems to me no different 
from the regular cards even though there are.  I NEVER go to the money hungry 
rats theme park on a reserved or booked day, not unless i am with very 
interesting available woman who is great convorsation (i did that once) ^a
i mean why bother, you only get to stand in line longer and whats the point. 
If i were disney i would offer better discounts on off peak days to ballance 
th e attendance of the park better.  I always go either ditching college on 
thursday or on friday (even then it is booked compaired to thursday).  as for 
the specials, really not that much different.
