ATTN: MYW Experts.

I'm sure this has been addressed, but I don't want to have to wade through the countless topics about MYW to look for the answer. My wife brought up a good point last night while we were discussing what tickets we needed to purchase & I just knew someone here would have the answer.

We will be on property for 7 total days. Day 1 will not be spent in the parks. Day 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 will be in Disney parks, while day 5 will be spent @ USF/USIOA. I thought we only needed a 5-day with the park hop option added (because we will jump around), but with day 5 being spent somewhere other than a Disney park, will I need to add the "never expire" option?

If that's the case, I really don't see how it actually saves money like Disney claims it does. I could have got the old 5-day park hopper passes that never expired online through Disney for $230.00 each. The 5-day MYW with park hopping added was quoted as $235.37 each by CRO last night. Adding the "never expire" option will raise it even more.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way complaining, I just need to know what tickets I need to buy.

Also, since there's no benefit (discount) by ordering them online, is there any reason I shouldn't just wait & buy these passes during check-in @ my resort?

Thanks for the help guys.

you don't have 14 days to use the tickets, it doesn't sound like you have to pay for no-expiration.

All tickets are good for 14-days. So, as long as you use them before the 14-days are up you will not lose them to no-expiry. No-expiry is only if you want to use it for more than two weeks. You will be all set with a 5-day MYW ticket - they don't need to be consecutively used!

N.E.D.

Thanks for the information guys! That's good to hear. Is there any reason @ all to order the tickets before I go (as I usually do) or can I just get them during the check-in process?

If you are going to be WDW for 7 days and are not going to the parks only two of those days, Day 1 and Day 5. Then 5 days with the hopper should be enough. I don't think that you will need to purchase the no expiration. Unless you are worried about the weather, but I don't usually worry about that unless your trip is planned for late June or early July. That is their rainy season.

Good Luck and have fun on your trip

I believe the ticket prices "at the gate" are more expensive than in advance.

There is a discount if you order them in advance .

Check out the prices at www.ticketmania.com, they are cheaper that the prices at the gate. Plus...if you buy your tickets in advance it's one less line you need to stand in!

Hi,

The price you were quoted, $235.37, is the advanced purchase
price for an adult 5 day hopper ticket including tax. This is per
the WDW website. It said you saved $7.00 off the gate price.
You can get the advanced purchase price and still pick up your
tickets at the gate, this saves the shipping cost, by setting the
tickets up for will call. Then when you get to disney you can go
by any disney ticket office and pickup the tickets.
Good Luck
