Darn it...just checked
HHN site for multi-tic info and see that they raised prices AGAIN on express pass for the nights I was considering, still without any details on AP, FL or multi-night tic rates. (Kinda tough to buy express tics before knowing which nights are allowed under any promos they release.)
Sadly, I think this 2nd sudden hike in 2 weeks is a bit too much for me: I'm likely out this year. Feels like I'm planning in the dark against a ticking, ever-rising Ebay auction timeclock, lol.
Sure is a lot of pent-up travel demand right now: hotel, airline, rental car, theme park tics are all soaring so high, so fast. Maybe next year will be a bit calmer.
Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC time this year: looking fwd to seeing all the trip reports!
