4/3 Deal extended for dates through 8/15

[collcass]

Whats the value of the tickets for a family of four (adult price)? Trying to figure out if its worth it for us, as we get our tickets through undercover tourist at $226.00 each.

The tickets aren't where the savings is at all. The difference between a 4 and 7 day ticket is nominal. UCT is still cheaper, but if you are looking at the whole package, the room savings comes out around 40% or so depending on the resort.

I had a 7 night stay at Akl (AAA rate)booked until last week, but dropped it for a 5 night because we booked 2 nights at Universal's Royal Pacific. AKL with this deal would be totally worth it, but if I keep it just at a 4 night with the 5th night free, I'm only saving about $45.00.

Huh. I just quoted a 8 night package with the deal starting 6/27 and ending 7/5. Looks to me like you just have to check in by the last day.

Didn't work for me either. We are trying to check in on the 27-5th. We were going to stay offsite(bonnet ) for the first time. But now may reconsider if they don't blackout the 4th of july.
Just a reminder-when this original deal came out on THAT DAY I booked Easter week. Which they later took out of the deal(but they were willing to honor my reservation- unfortunately time wise we couldn't make that work) But NOW this MIGHT work! (Depends on a lot of things. But it can't hurt to try!)

DISNEYMOMX7 Where are you staying that week. Could this be the year we finally get to meet!? If I book I'll let you know! SO EXCITING!!

We are currently booked on a 40% discount package from 8/7 until 8/21 (14 nights). We have tickets left over from previous trips....are we better off with our 40% still??....

Also do you have to check out by the 15th or does it mean that you have to check in by that date?

How does the ticket pricing work? I am going for 9 nights so I pay 6 nights hotel. We are only doing 7 days in the Disney parks. Will they let me purchase a 7 day pass at the price of a 4 day with a 9/6 package?

Absolutely... However note that the price difference is like a dollar or so...

Keep in mind that while the tickets may be cheaper thru UCT you can't get the 4/3 deal on the room if you don't buy the tickets. The deal works best if you are going to a deluxe resort and the better the resort and the better the room at the deluxe the more you save.

Example: Original Reservation:
6 nights thru AAA
POR 3 disney Adults 2 Children
DDP
$2900
5 day base tickets

4/3 deal
$2715
still 6 nights, etc.
7 day base tickets
Savings just under $185

I upgraded to:
YC Std View
$3650
again 6 nights, etc
7 day tickets
YC 6 Nights AAA
$4,450
5 day base tickets

Savings = $800.

For 7 nights the 4/3 at YC was $3810 cost went up for DDP. But I would have saved about $1,200.

If I was staying water view the savings would have been $1,000 for 6 nights. The savings on concierge was just under $2,000.

I also looked at Poly the savings there for 6 nights was about $900.

Does anyone know what the booking cut off date is for this?? from 2/9 through.... ????

 

[GenieCat]

Thanks for posting this. It gives encouragement to those of us traveling later in the year. I was getting ready to buy tickets from UCT to go with my AAA "room only" reservation. Guess I'd better wait to see if this 4/3 deal will get extended into October!

Right now we are currently booked June 20-27 at the GF (7/4 deal) and June 27-July 5 at BC. I couldn't get the 7/4 offer for June 27-July 5 when I booked, they said it ended on the 27th. I'm going to call back later today and see if that's changed - or try again on Monday at 7 AM!!!! I'm flexible the second week with either YC or BC.

Could this be the time - I SURE HOPE SO!!!!!!!!

 

[DisneyMomx7]

Okay I just called Disney and they repeated what I was originally told. The last day of travel is 6/27 an they cannot bookt he 7/4 offer beyond that, even though our travel date starts on the 27th.

Oh well I'll just be calling bright and early on Monday to rebook it under the extended 7/4 offer!

What time do the phones line open/close..i.e. can we call 12:01 am Sunday night to start booking?

Tickets are free on base days and no expiration option. Water parks and hopping options are a flat fee no matter how many days, so nothing free there. If you are only getting base days, keep in mind it is only ~$3 per day after 4 days. No expiration can save you a bundle though, especially if you are upgrading to an AP/PAP.

Can someone explain that to me? Does this mean that the 4/3 deal comes with no expiry tickets or that you can add no expiry to them or what exactly?

 

[mermaidwannabe]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does this deal pertain to DL too?

 

[zoie101]

tou have to pay extra for no expiry
extra for water parks and hopper as well

I was initially told this as well when I asked about moving my dates to 6/26-7/3. But I pointed out that I was able to find availability online using the 4/3 deal. The CM checked it out and verified that I was right, so she changed it all for me.

I'm not sure why it works for a 6/26 arrival but not a 6/27. I guess that it's a moot point since the offer is being extended to cover your dates now. Good luck!

 

[disneymom06]

Does this mean free dining will begin Aug 16th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly what I was thinking!!!!!

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

does already having a package for the dates and resort/room type you want make it any easier to get the 4/3 deal? I currently have a package at Pop, but want to switch to CR. Should I do that now to help 'guarantee' it, or just wait til Mon morning? (how will I wait that loooong??? )

Momof2 I feel your pain! But at least we can dream for the whole weekend!
