Adults (i use that term loosely) Only Trip dining Questions

[JerryMoCricketsGal]

Hey everyone!

Normally I have been able to find answers to my questions by doing a search, but, this one I have yet to find.

My hubby and I are planning our 5th Anniversary trip to Disney in May (we've actually been married 6 years, but, we didn't take our honeymoon to Disney until we could afford it after a year)...I told him that I was taking that 1st year to decide if I wanted an annullment or not ..hehe

Anywho, so much has changed in the Dining options. On our previous trip, we had 'wishes' to use, as well as a park hopper ticket that was included so we were able to spend a day at MK and then dine at Epcot if we wished.

My questions are, does the Magic your way plus dining included the park hopper ticket? From what I have been reading, that option is additional, and that is one of the things we really loved before.

Since we have no kiddies to worry about, and usually dine at odd hours to make sure we don't use optimal ADR's at a time when families are used to eating (we have breakfast, then a LATE lunch at around 3, then dinner at around 8 or 9), it seems that the Premier package would be more beneficial to us. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be at Disney if i didn't love kids, but I do realize they have normal eating hours, and as the adult with no kids, I will be happy to eat later if it means I get the optimal 'least wait time' for the Dumbo ride Seriously though, we love watching the kids at the park, it makes our day to see a child's face light up like mine does every time I walk through those gates onto Main Street.

Anywho, has anyone ever done the Premium package and do they have any feedback on it?

Thanks

Well, you can certainly add the park hopper option on to your package. The cost to add park hopping to tickets is only $35 per ticket. The premium package, however, will cost you much more than that! The premium plan includes 3 meals a day plus the waterpark and fun options as wellas other add-ons such as admission to LaNouba and more.

I would suggest using www.disneyworld.com to price a MYW package with dining and adding the park hopper option and then price the same resort with the premium package.

The dining package requires undisounted room (or at most AAA discount), purchase of dining credits equal to the number of nights times the number of people on the reservation, and at least one day's ticket (the same per person).

Magic Your Way tickets have several possibilities. The Base Ticket is one-day, one park. You can instead purchase multiple day, one park per day, up to ten days (note this is the four major parks only (AK, EC, MGM, MK) and no park hopping). For a flat fee of $35 (plus tax) you can add hopping to a base ticket; it does not matter if a one-day or ten-day, the price is the same. For a flat fee of $45 you can add between two and five entries to the minor parks (BB, DQ, PI, TL, WWS) based on the number of base days. You can add both hopping and minor parks for $80, again does not matter if one day or ten day ticket. All tickets expire at the end of the 14th day from first use unless you buy the "no expire" upgrade.

Thanks for the quick responses!! I was a bit confused as to which options you could pick together on their (neverending) list to choose from on the site.

After doing the research and seeing how much it would be to add the park hopper for every day of our trip to the Magic your way dining plan ($560), plus what we would have to spend out of pocket for the xtras we enjoy like (hooop doo revue)($100) and the option to just have three leisurely sit down meals a day (with characters if we choose), as well as the Pleasure Island admission for 5 of the 8 nights ($200 Pleasure Island Admssion) (Have i mentioned how much we LOVE the adventurer's Club?) I think the Premium fits our needs better for this particular trip...keep in mind, if I were taking children, I would lean more towards the Magic your way with dining, as it is more feasible for families.

Once again, thank you guys so much for your quick responses and links to double check!!!!!
