I just completed a survey based on my visit last October. All was happy, even magical perhaps, until i got to the "meat" of their questions. The possibility of 3 different levels of tickets based on not only day of week but time of year as well ... Gold, Silver & Bronze. Some bizarre algorithm used to determine what the entire cost of tickets would be since they are also considering that even if you buy multi-day tickets you would pay more on the days you visit MK even with a park-hopper option added?? Using the formula provided i would have paid close to $1300.00 EACH for the ten days we visited. If i was to buy tickets from the website right now i would pay that for BOTH!
Anyone else get this survey?? Make anymore sense to you as to how they are coming up with this pricing?? OH ... the GOLD pricing for a MK day is over 130.
Didn't see it. But they have a similar pattern, but no medal names, for Florida resident passes. Annual, Seasonal, Weekday, and an EPCOT after 4pm I think. I know people who have the Weekday and they are happy with it.
BUT--these are all good for a year with blackouts.
What gets me is that when Disney does something to try and split up how they price things--they don't reduce prices for the reduced feature. They increase the other prices. So instead of hey, add your park hopper if you want it--and save money if you don't--they just removed it, kept the ticket price the same and then added it al a carte. Bugs me!
HOWEVER--that said--people have been posted they have been willing to pay more if they could get more, so maybe Disney is throwing this survey question out as one option to see if people would really be willing to do that.
If they are finding that folks are traveling during peak weekend times and some just do weekdays, maybe they are on to something. Unfortuntaely I think it would just mean charging extra to get all the days versus offering a sale price on a weekday pass. But some people just do the week days. A few years back, we flew in on Sunday and flew out on Friday--so a weekday pass would be appealing since we did not go to the parks on the weekends during the day.
But $1300 just for 10 days is ridiculous. I am under no illusions that annual pass prices would not go up--but we pay less than half of that for a heck of a lot more days. Even with black out.
ETA: Just realized I did get a survey email. Time to go check it out.
This thread just gave me a headache!!!
