From MousePlanet.com:
"While many Disney fans were chatting about the official announcement of the 2009 "What Will You Celebrate" marketing campaign, the Disneyland Resort quietly announced another new program to cast members. Starting this fall, Disneyland Resort passholders will be offered the opportunity to finance their Annual Passports over 12 months.
Passholders will make a deposit equal to the cost of a one-day, one-park ticket, then pay the balance over 12 months. Payments will be automatically charged to a credit card placed on file at the time the passport is purchased. This option will be available to new passholders starting November 4, 2008; and for renewals on January 1, 2009. The program will be offered only to residents of Southern California, and is available for all four types of annual passport.
There's more good news for new passholders who purchase their pass on their birthday—not only can the Birthday Ticket offered in the What Will You Celebrate promotion be upgraded to an annual passport, but it will serve as the down payment you would otherwise need to make if you choose to finance your pass. If you time it right, you can buy a new Premium Annual Passport on your birthday, use the Birthday Ticket as your down payment, and pay less than $30 a month for your Passport."
Awesome!
