Can anyone CONFIRM elimination of non-expiring tickets tomorrow?

[Firefly09]

just checked, orbitz still listing 10 day NE with WP and more at $830.70 (can't remember how much UCT was) and Upromise is offering 6% cashback... should also categorize as travel if you have a credit card that gives bonus for that category.

what was the UCT price?

I have never heard of Maple Leaf Tickets before. Does anyone have previous experience with them? Should I purchase from them now or wait for Undercover Tourist to (potentially) relist?

They are in Canada, reputable and an authorized dealer. I have not used them personally, but have seen talk of them for many years.....I consider them and UCT among the most well known resellers here on the boards.

I have the same question as buziggy.

They're an authorized ticket seller, just like Undercover Tourist.

I had the same situation as CalvaryMike. I had looked at 10 day PH WPFAM NE tickets this AM and put them in my cart, and then tonight my dad called and said the NE option was gone from UCT. I looked, and mine were still in my cart. So I pulled the trigger for a 10 day ticket for me, my DH, and my 2 sons. Plus 2 adult and 3 kids tickets for my dad. I got an email from UCT that my order was flagged for security, presumably due to how expensive that ended up being, but I assume if I call Monday as they indicated it will go through without an issue. We actually have APs this year (just bought 2 weeks ago), but in the past would often go for short trips and use 1-3 days of NE tix. As the boys get older we might want to start that again, so at least with new 10 day tix we'll have a few trips before we run out. I hate how so many things we used to do regularly keep disappearing - I certainly remember when all tickets were non-expiring! In fact, my dad has an old kids ticket with a day left when they would stamp the date you used it on the ticket, and there were placed for stamps for each day the ticket was good for. I realize they are a business and are out to make money, and so far we will keep going even if they eliminate No expiration tickets, but every little change for the worse (IMHO) makes me irritated and eventually they might even make this die hard Disney fan (with a husband who mainly goes to Disney because of me) decide to stop going as often.

I bought from Maple Leaf. Read nothing but good reviews so I pulled the trigger! $769 for 10 Day Park Hopper w Water Park Fun option.

Undercover Tourist told us that non-expiring have been taken down temporarily while they take stock. They'll be back as soon as they know exactly how many they have to sell.

Thanks for this info! That makes me feel better about the order I placed this morning.

Wasn't it nice when every ticket purchased was non expiry, no additional charge?

AND parkhoppers!

 

[SPUNKYSHADOE]

Just checked, undercover has everything back on line except the 10 day PH with water non expires. I ended up going with maple leaf because I really wanted the ten days. Hope this helps someone. ( as of 11pm eastern)

 

[epcotty]

Just got new ones for 7 days w/ no expiration from UT. I think w/o no exp being available it won't be worth it to us to buy the regular tickets, as we don't stay down there. So we'll probably just do Discover Disney passes for FL residents and just use them before they expire or finally do an annual pass and go as often as possible on that

Nice to see another old person on the board.

Not old. Experienced.

Well, I just read this so went to check, but the one I want is 6 days hopper non expire, and they have 5 and 7! The 6 saved $72! Hmmm...

I'm still seeing it on there anyway

I'm checking it again and don't see the 6 day hopper water parks and more hopper, which yesterday listed a savings of $72! Maybe I'll try calling just in case...

 

[Mome Rath]

10 day park hopper no exp. are on UT

 

[Dan Murphy]

As are the 6 day hopper with WPF&M no expiration, for those wanting to do the largest savings toward an AP bridged upgrade.

 

[travelfearlessly]

On UT the 10-Day tickets are $365 while the NE tickets are $710. That's an increase of $345 for the same ticket!! That's an increase of 94%. Considering ticket prices have increased only 75% in the last 10 years the ONLY way purchasing a NE ticket would be a good deal is if you don't plan to go to Disney in the next 15 years. If you plan to vacation in, say, 3 or 4 years then I'm pretty certain the ticket prices aren't going to increase by $345 between now and then. I think everyone is scrambling to purchase NE tickets for nothing.

UT now has nonexpiring tickets available on their website if anyone is interested (at the old price as of 10 a.m. on Sunday). I sure wish Disney would reconsider offering the nonexpiring tickets. We often take a trip and spend only a couple of days at the park - especially when we visit family in Florida. I like to buy the 10 day nonexpiring tickets and use them over a few years. *sigh* With every change, I keep thinking I am glad we had a lot of trips to Disney World in the "old days".

The $365 price is for 10 days that have to be used within 14 days of the first use. The $710 for 10 days nonexpiring are for 10 days that can be used any time in the future.

 

[travelfearlessly]

True but read the terms and conditions: "Tickets and any options purchased must be used within 14 days of first use, except for Florida Resident 3-Day and 4-Day Tickets. Florida Resident 3-Day and 4-Day Tickets expire 6 months after first use or December 14, 2016, whichever comes first, and may not be used on the following blockout dates: March 28 – April 10, 2015; June 6 – August 13, 2015, December 17, 2015 - December 31, 2015, January 1, 2016, March 19, 2016 - April 1, 2016, June 6, 2016 - August 11, 2016".

You can buy tickets today (at the new price) and they're good through pretty much all of 2016. how is spending $710 on a 10-Day NE ticket better than spending $365 on a 10-Day regular ticket that's good for 2 years? You could buy 2 10-tickets for the price of 1 NE ticket! It just doesn't make sense

 

[siskaren]

I sure wish Disney would reconsider offering the nonexpiring tickets.

Unless I missed something, how do you know they're not? They haven't been selling them online for some time because apparently too many people were buying them when they didn't need to because they didn't understand that unused tickets never expire, so they've only been available through Disney by calling.
