Best Ticket Prices for a one week stay

[meryll83]

Hi all,
Looking at WDW tickets for future BIL as only just found out they haven't booked them yet!

Am absolutely shocked that for either a 5 or 7 day pass, I can't find anything under £200 This seems really steep, I was thinking they were around the £175 mark.

Can anyone help me find cheaper passes, for either 5 or 7 days?
Thanks in advance!

What features do they need? Hopper / non-expiring?

I haven't shopped around, but have just had a look at Undercover Tourist - they have 6 day hoppers (expire) for $274, which is currently approx £170/£180ish.

 

[meryll83]

Hoppers with water parks included they will want.
Expiry doesn't matter.
I take it they can book the US Magic Your Way tickets if that's the best way then?

I'm thinking they might be as well to add them on to their holiday booking with Virgin Hols as 7 day premiums - they're £220 but will get a small discount as flying club members.

They seem to be the most flexible for what they want, but I wanted to make sure there weren't any better options out there...

I don't think the Premium ticket allows you to park hopper on the same day. I could be wrong though.

Yes you can hop with the Premium tickets.

Cheapest 7 day looks to be £202.
If you can get 10% off with Virgin they are probably as cheap as anyone. Thats how we got 7 day Premium for DMIL at Xmas, back then they were only £153 after 10%, £170 full price.

Not sure I would rush into buying yet, car rentals are dropping because of better exchange rate, possibly ticket prices could in next few months.

I was also looking for a 7 day ticket recently and found that mapleleaftickets.com was offering hoppers at about £180 (they were priced in US dollars but ship to the UK).

I've just tried to check the price again this evening but their site seems to be down. Maybe you could check these out later?

V Flying club discount isn't that much savings - the 7 day MYW with wtr parks is only 197 pounds tax included on orlandoattractions and they are doing free shipping. Definitely have a look at Mapleleaf as well and Kissimmee guest services for MYW before you commit. More saved on tickets is more spends in Orlando! All three companies get good reviews on the Disney forums we use.

It looks like mapleleaftickets.com have the best price now with the Canadian exchange rate at around 1.80.
I notice they charge $12 for shipping, does this mean it's actual tickets they send out rather than vouchers?

Mapleleaf are in Kissimmee, on the property of the Maple Leaf Inn, their prices are in $US, not Canadian $, http://www.mapleleaftickets.com/location_and_contactus.htm

Ah okay, so through Virgin would still be the best bet then really.
I thought there was a site priced in Canadian dollars out there somewhere?

Between 5 and 7 days, to include water parks and park hopping, expiry doesn't matter....

what price is Virgin offerering them at after discount?

Direct with Disney they do the 7 day magic your way for Gate Price: $304.61 incl water parks and more option, about £180. will be slightly cheaper from an agent.

Is that a hopper ticket? I get it at around $337?

Virgin are now at £223 for a 7 day premium (before discount), so even if we get a 10% discount there, going direct as you mention above will be the cheapest if it's a hopper. What agents can you go through to get this cheaper again?

 

[wayneg]

Ah no its not hopper.
The hopper with https://www.orlandoattractions.com/tickets/ticket/view/52/12 is £195.91

Ooh good find, thanks!
Does the free shipping also apply to the UK do you know?
And are they actual tickets as opposed to vouchers?
