AP sales…

[kes601]

We do a lot of short trips vs. long ones, so I just want a reasonable option that allows me to continue to do that...if not, then I will just have to adjust the budget to figure it out!!! Even a pass that has multiple days but good for months at a time would work so it can be used over multiple trips....

We typically go 2 weeks in the summer, a week or more at Christmas, sometimes Thanksgiving, and sometimes a long weekend in the spring. I suspect whatever they come out with will not work in our favor and our budget will get adjusted accordingly. What I can't tell from the really long thread is if Ms Bibbidi is an "insider" or just collects info from other discussions (and I'm not reading 36 pages to figure it out). Until I see an official release from Disney I'm not going to take anything I read as the absolute truth.

Earlier somebody asked about the 14 day Disney World tickets being offered in the United Kingdom.
Current advertisement in the United Kingdom.
Today, 499 GBP is worth $622.62 That's $44.47 a day.
Note the dates are over the holiday season from Halloween through New Year's Eve
It includes Genie+. parkhopper, waterparks and photopass. Loaded tickets

A US standard 10 day ticket is $55 per day or $550 plus tax. , but that time period is more expensive.
Also, that is a single park without a parkhopper option, without waterparks, no photopass and no Genie+.

Full Ticket Details

The £499 ticket doesn't include Genie +. There was an option to buy Genie+ at £6.99 per day but that offer seems to have ended, as I can't find it on any of the ticket sites in the UK. The total would have been £597 or $746. It was a good deal at $53 per day. I didn't buy mine when the offer was on as I'm still holding out for an annual pass. We leave in 78 days.

There was no need to attack me. That was nasty.

It was not an attack whatsoever, I apologize if it came off as such. I really was wondering if you are in insider or merely collecting info.

By July the Incredi, Sorcerer, Pirate and Pixie will become legacy passes. There will be something new. It may not have blockout date calendars or park reservations. Passholders in a renewal window will receive info direct from Disney.

I tried to read the last few pages to get caught up.... was new info released this morning or is this just a summary of the insider-info from the other forum?

IMHO, I have read the entire thread here and the “insider” info on the other site and unless something else has been released, this is either 1. Complete speculation or 2. Additional “insider” info.

Disney stopped all Magic Key sales yesterday, plus an "insider" post yesterday, plus a blogger that talked directly with a Disney spokesperson later yesterday and plus two statements by cast members to passholders after that. "That's all we are allowed to say right now" when telling them a Pixie pass could not be upgraded at renewal. (That is a change from earlier cast member statements that they could.) But, we all wait for official info direct from Disney and I have said that several times.

Did the blogger post anywhere and is the link allowed. Would very much appreciate links to your online sources

I have an AP that I could renew, but I think offering DVC the pixie dust weekday passes is a great idea....

 

[nuhusky123]

Nuhusky123, the blogger was a post on the internet that I found doing Google searches. Anna was able to post a link so it appears it is allowed. However, I have spent some time trying to re-Google and am not finding it today. I am sorry. I didn't know the link would be important.

Thanks for looking. I’m super curious what people in the know say or at the very least speculate

Question why are we thinking July is when we find out?

The Incredi-pass, Sorcerer, Pirate and Pixie (“character passes”) first went on sale September 8, 2021. The first ones sold expire 9/7/22. Renewal window opens 60 days before expiration — July 9, 2022. If Disney does not want the Character Passes to renew as character passes, they have to have end them. A Disney Rep said the Magic Key holders would be offered a renewal option with details to be sent to the current passholders by Disney. There was more than one option. Then two different cast members told Pixie passholders that their Pixies could not be upgraded if new passes came out (that is a change from the past) but something else would be offered at renewal time. So, logically, the new passes will be too different to translate like the metals passes to the character passes. The Magic Key renewal window starts July 15, 2022. So we are up first to get the new info before July 9th. Disney reps and cast members were the ones saying that was all they were allowed to say but there would be more information later this summer.

Thanks for the run down. I’m a dvc owner without an ap and desperate for something better than day by day tickets.

I’m hoping I can buy something before sept and my next trip that net is cheaper than the day park tickets even if it isn’t an ap as they exist today. But I’ll be broke if I have to pay for these day tickets much longer

I really appreciate this thread. Our platinum AP's went into their renewal window in mid-May and thanks to this thread, we knew to immediately renew them and were able to do so for the DVC Sorcerer pass. Let's hope they come out with a new AP in the not too distant future.

Us as well. We just bought Riviera in March without researching the AP pause. My wife and I were back for a short trip to Poly last week and only did one day at Epcot. We are staying at GF in July with my son and he will not be as happy to hang out at the resort as we were. Just priced day tickets for 6 days and it's almost as much as a Sorcerer pass. We also have December 22 & March 23 booked and are planning June 23. I don't want to basically buy 4 AP's per person to cover those trips, that's crazy. AP's were a big reason why we decided to do DVC, shame on me for not researching.
