10 Day World Ticket - breakfast included...

[Mrs Dazzle]

'lo everybody!

Does anyone know where the breakfast that is included in the 10 Day world ticket is? Our DD is Eeyore mad so really fancied taking her to the Crystal Palace to meet him, but can't get an answer from anyone as to where the breakfasts are (it just says "Character Breakfast at a select location").

Just yesterday we received a brochure from Keith Prowse and a card from Virgin offering the 10 Day World Ticket at £199 (£159 for DD 9). This seems a good deal as we would be paying slightly more for just 5 day hopper (we're only in Orlando 7 days and Universal will be two of those!).

Also, does anyone know if this includes car parking costs??

Have a great weekend everyone:cool:

[StephenM]

Hello Mrs dazzle:)
I think breakfast is in Hollywood and Vine, Breakfastasaroas,Ohanas and Garden Grille at Epcot if they still do breakfast there.Dont think the pass includes parking.

[Sian]

i think Garden Grille has stopped doing breakfasts.

Thats good news snookams if they added all them there were only 4 last year:)

[Hilary]

Snookhams, would you mind saying how much the Disney Store are charging for their 10 day passes? I might even be prepared to pay a little more if it included a wider choice than the 10 day passes from other sources!

[UKDEB]

snookhams - what is the voucher for exactly? My understanding of the 10 day passes from places such as Keith Prowse is that they include a free character breakfast. The places you have mentioned don't all offer character breakfasts, so I'm interested to know what your voucher entitles you to.

[BevS97]

Hilary,

the disney store were charging £260 last time I checked, which is quite a bit for a meal.

i'm also a bit confused about that voucher, because most of those aren't character meals.

I've seen the 3 restaurants mentioned listed on floridatravel (I can't remember the exact name)

Bev

[squitty]

I was just in my local Disney Store Thursday and I happend to notice a small leaflet saying the 10 day pass was £199, I cant remember how much it was for a childs pass. I would give them a ring.
I will ring them tomorrow and post what they say.

[snookhams]

The tickets from the Disney Store are £199 for Adults and £159 for Children ( and are the plastic 100 years of Disney cards) the voucher is for a Resort or Character Breakfast Feature and states the following

This certificate is valid for one breakfast at a participating restaurant located within the Walt Disney World resort and includes choice of one juice, one entree, one bakery item and one beverage or if available one full breakfast buffet. Applicable tax and gratuities are included. Alcoholic beverages, suvenir drink mugs and room service are not included.
All available dining locations are listed on the bakc of this certificate. Priority seating for Character Dining is recomended. Priority seating maay be made by touching "55"on your disney resort in room telephone or by calling (407) WDW DINE.

The locations that I listed previously all appear on the reverse of this voucher.

[Hilary]

Thanks for the clarification, snookhams :).

Bev, I quite agree that at £260 against Virgin Travelstore's £190 would have been a lot for a breakfast somewhere different! Now I have to decide whether the extra £9 x 4 is worth it. Tempted though I am, I guess £36 would go a long way towards a meal somewhere <i>as well as</i> an inclusive breakfast at the 'limited' selection of restaurants. I'll probably stick with Virgin or Flightshop(?)'s prices as I don't have a 'local' DS anyway (nearest is about 30 miles away).

I'm planning to wait until near to the end of May to buy our passes in the hope that the prices might come down even further - any thoughts? Do you think there's any chance that these passes might all sell out?

[BevS97]

that's just typical - last time I checked with the disney store (about 3 weeks ago I think) they weren't offering the £199 deal, so I ordered mine from Callers Pegasus (travel agent) via keith Prowse. I'm sure that will be fine, but I would have preferred to just buy them direct from the Disney Store if I had realised they would also offer the same price.

Now I just have to decide if I should stick with Hollywood and Vine or choose one of the other options. Decisions, decisions!

Just to add here, Keith Prowse have cut the cost of the 10-Day World Ticket back to £199 and £159 for all bookings made by May 31, for use from May 1 to October 31 (a saving of £60 and £49). This represents a throwback to when the ticket was first introduced in 1999. KP phone no is: 028 90 23 24 25.

I've just collected my 10 days ticket from the Holiday Hypermarket and that included the same breakfast locations as listed for the Disney Store. You notice that although there is a wider range there are still only 4 Character Breakfasts in the list. i.e.

Chef Mickey's at Cont
Hollywood and Vine at MGM
Restaurantosaurus at Animal Kingdom
Ohana at the Poly

I suppose they think not everyone wants a Character Meal.

Hope this helps:) :)

*bump*

[presleyg]

Has anyone bought these passes from theflightshop? They are offering to fedex them to the US, but I would like some feedback on the company beforehand. Also, is anyone aware of restrictions on these passes? I contacted disney and they told me to refer to the literature that came with the passes, but I need to know before I purchase them. Thanks!

[BevS97]

I;ve just picked up my tickets and as said, there is a huge list of restaurants.

i think these are all character meals

Cape May Cafe
Chef Mickeys
1900 Park Fare
Olivia's Cafe (not sure about this one)
Hollywood and Vine
Restaurantasaurus
Ohana's

plus LOTS of non character options.

so there are a few character meal options

Bev

[presleyg]

who did you get them from?

[BevS97]

I got them from Keith Prowse through a UK travel agent. I think if you search this forum there are some posts from people who have used the flight shop though

Bev

[presleyg]

how does the hopping work on those? Can you go from a water park to Epcot on the same day with just one day off the pass? Disney said that you can hop from one main park to another on the same day, but it was unclear about going from water parks/disneyquest to a main park on the same day.

[BevS97]

you have 10 days unlimited access to all things disney - so you can do MK every morning, a water park every afternoon and disney quest each evening. there's no distinction between water parks, main parks or DQ - if you enter any of them then that counts as a day, and anything else you do that day counts as part of the same day

Bev

[presleyg]

thanks that's very helpful. Where did you get the cool counter?

[BevS97]

someone made it for me, but I think they have been banned now - i thought that it would just stop working, but I guess I should remove it.

[WebmasterPenny]

Just wanted to say, that last time I heard, there still wasn't the Character Breakfast at Olivias :(

Penny

[GerryH]

presleyg,

I just received our 10 day passes from Flightshop this morning. They're posted via "Special Delivery" within the UK. I assume that Fed Ex to the USA would be a similar "recorded" service.

Their prices are very good and I would definitely use them again.

The main difference between these passes and standard multi day tickets is that these are "time restricted" passes so they will only be of use to you if your vacation is between May and October this year.

Gerry

[presleyg]

Thanks, I was concerned about all the newer sercurity scans damaging the tickets, or somehow demagnetizing them. Did it include the breakfast voucher? Is it for the same number of tickets that you purchased?

[BevS97]

i received 3 vouchers and 3 tickets - unlike the unlimited magic pass, the voucher is a separate piece of paper on these tickets and the child's one specifies child meal.

another limitation is that the passes expire 21 days after first use - so unlike hoppers you cannot keep unused days for a later trip.

Bev

[presleyg]

Which restaurants were listed on your voucher?

[Kal El]

Presleyg just do it :D
You know you want to :bounce:

[GerryH]

The voucher includes all the restaurants mentioned in the post earlier in this thread re the 10 day tickets from the Disney Store in the UK.

Gerry

[presleyg]

I know I do but I just need to make sure it's all good. I can't just show up at Disneyworld with UK tickets and a bad accent.

[BevS97]

would it make you feel better if I told you I had a bad accent?? I grew up in the States and have an accent that's not English and not American - somewhere in between I guess.

I think as long as the tickets have been purchased honestly, you have nothing to worry about.

Hi ,

I have so liked reading peoples trip reports and info that i have decided to join!
I have been looking around the internet for accommodation, not sure whether

not sure if they send abroad but they charge £190 adult .

Going to Disney in August counting the weeks :D

Bluebell

[Hilary]

Hi Bluebell :wave:

Welcome to the UK DIS boards!

If you have any questions about your trip, post a thread and I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies.

[bluebell]

Thank you Hilary, i will certainly post any questions i have and
answer any that i can.
This year will be my 6th visit to Florida and i love it !!!!

Thanks,
Bluebell:)

[Allyk]

PresleyG,

We have also purchased 10 day tickets from the Flight Shop, the tickets themselves don't look to be UK specific, all they say is 10 day world ticket special offer. The dates on them are even in US format, so I think you will probably be ok with them.


AllyK


3 days to go :bounce:

[presleyg]

Thanks! Wish our trip was only 3 days away! Have a great holiday.

[Kal El]

I called into the Disney Store today and picked up an inforation leaflet about the 10 day ticket. If anyone wants a copy emailed to them just let me know.

[Helen Clayton]

Hi, My local travel agent is offering the 10 day world pass at £179 per adult. Not sure of the child price as we didn't need them. Does anyone know if car parking is included. They were not sure in the travel agents and my tickets won't arrive for another 2 weeks. Either way it's a real bargain

[Hilary]

Helen, that is a real bargain! Which travel agents do you use? Is it a national chain? Was this a special offer to you personally, or is that their general price, and would they like some more customers? ;)

(sorry, I don't know about the car parking charges for these)

[jimmie2daughters]

No, Parking is not included in the Keith Prowse 10 day world pass offer (although it has been in previous years). you have to cough up 6 dollars/day (so max 60 dollars equivalent to 43 squids)
179 quid is a whole 10% off the special price offer, and , since the standard travel agent discount is 10% then he is giving you all of his commission. Congratulations, a great price, but he must be making something out of you somewhere (unless he is your dad or similar :-)) )

PS anyone who works for the NHS can get a discount from Thomas Cook central booking if they have visited the NHSdiscounts.com website. It can work out at about 6% so long as you pay by debit card and not credit card)

[henrydog]

Is it really necessary to book for a character breakfast several weeks in advance or can you get away with making a ps in the first week for a meal in the second week of the holiday?

We are thinking of going to Hollywood & Vine, is this a good choice and if we get an early time will we be able to get on R&R and TofT before the queues build up.

[Helen Clayton]

Hi,

The price of £179 was advertised in our local paper this week and was not a special deal I negotiated. The place was packed on Saturday with lots of people buying the 10 day pass.

The travel agents web site is http://www.inter-travel.co.uk/ though there is no info on here about tickets, but there is the phone number and address.

If you need any more info please let me know

[Hilary]

Thanks, Helen. I've just taken a look at the Inter-Continental Travel website, and they appear to be an independant TA, rather than having branches nationally - do you know whether that's right?

I know that the Flightshop advertise a price gaurantee, and I wonder whether the press advertisement you saw indicated that the £179 price was for a limited period only. If not, then maybe the flightshop would come up with that price as well - at least they process purchases over the internet, which Inter-Contintal don't seem to do. That would make it much easier for people in other parts of the country to get that price.

I think maybe a phone call is in order on Monday......... ;)

[TracyK]

Those tickets are real bargains. I will be using my AP for this year but am hoping they will have a similar offer for next year. Does anyone know if they've run this offer before or if they're likely to run it again?
Thanks
Tracy
