Well, the power of a story! I think they are sold out! I offer to buy passes for staff at the highschool every year. I usually can wait until the week before the break... but I had to go tonight. And everyone was talking about your story! Honestly, I hope they continue doing the half price thing. It allows locals to get passes for their children, which is sort of cool 'teaching' thing. Locals all know where to park where cars won't be checked. And I bet the majority of use by locals is in the off season. Plus we use very few amenities. But I feel proud when I park and have that pass. But would I buy 2 if they were full price? No... and many locals I know won't go that far. :-)
That’s too bad about Mt Desert not getting the passes available.
What exactly do locals who aren’t in the tourist industry get for putting up with over 4 million tourists descending into our lives for 7 months of the year?????
these are basically the “leftover” 2024 passes that the park sells for half off before rolling out the 2025 edition in January
With more people buying passes during the busy season there were fewer remaining 2024 passes to sell at a discount in December.
