Not sure if this question was asked but those this promotion comes every year?

I'm am planning to go to WDW in January 2019 and I'm not sure if I want to pay this in advance.

Thanks

From what I have heard, this is a rare occurrence. I bought mine now for 2020, as prices always go up, and I don't know if this deal will return. Even if it does, now is around the time that Disney raises prices, so it would still be more expensive. If you can afford it, it definitely is something to consider.

It's a good deal and I haven't heard of this kind of discount in the last several years. The only thing I can think of is that you need to be sure of the number of days you want to go for in 2019. You can add on days once you are there, but you will lose your discount by adding days, if the tickets can't be price bridged.

Good point. Thanks for the info. I just passed on Friday ROFR on a DVC. So I guess by the time I will go to WDW, I will just need to buy my airplane tickets!

Interesting, I am trying to figure this out as well. So it wouln't be worthwhile buying a 5 day ticket now and then upgrading it to an AP next year. You are saying I will lose the 25% off savings when I try to upgrade to the AP, correct?

As an alternative, Undercover Tourist has a 7 day hopper on sale now for $50 off gate price.

Not quite as good as the Canadian Resident offer, but it's bridgeable.

Those who have purchased or are thinking of purchasing Canadian Resident tickets for use past 2017 should read my post here.

I would suggest getting written confirmation from Disney that these tickets will not expire. Might help if you run into trouble down the line.

I just bought my MIL's 4-day ticket yesterday and it's is now linked to our tickets.

She has a 1-day ticket from a previous trip that is a Hopper with no expiry. Can I also add that ticket to her profile or is it only one set of tickets per profile?

Yes, I have more than 1 ticket on each "guest" and also had more than one ticket on each when we went last August.

FWIF, the system uses the oldest ticket first but can be changed by guest services. I had all our magic bands changed last trip before entering the park, the older tickets were non-expire and we are saving them for trips where we only want to be in the park one or two days. As everyone was linked to the same account,I only needed one magic band to change everyones.

I'm super pumped that Disney has this amazing deal, I just priced adding two days at universal and the cost of 6 days at Disney with the ph under the Canadian deal is only slightly more than TWO days and universal......

Well I'm glad I ordered my tickets yesterday since it looks like the price is going up? Phew! For once I got it in time

Where do you see that the price is going up ?

 

[Sailormoon2]

It's on the DIS new/updates site.

I finally bought the tickets online this morning. I will be using them in August, so I don't have to worry about expiry issue. Since they cannot be bridged, I thought I should just get them now just in case WDW ticket price increases unexpectedly. Now, I just have to wait for my 180 days out ADR booking then 60 days out FP+ booking. WDW planning is exhausting!

Have fun planning my fellow Canadian Dis'ers!

I have a ticketless package with room and dining already booked. I was going to wait until next week to purchase tickets and link them but will now buy them today. Does anyone if I can add an RO discount later if one becomes available?

Yes, you can add a room discount when one pops up so long as it is offered on the same resort and same room class you have already booked. The actual mechanics can get confusing if you try and do it yourself, but if you wait until the day or so after an offer is dropped it is pretty easy to do it on the phone

Thank-you so much for the reply! I knew we could apply a discount if room category was available at our resort with a MYW package but this is our first time going with a ticketless package and I wasn't sure if there was a difference. We love and are booked at POR in a standard room for the fall so standard probably won't be available by then anyway. I did just purchase the PH passes for my family of 5 so at least we get a discount on tickets.

I just bought my tickets today through CAA based on the info from this thread - I wanted to save the foreign transaction fee. I still can't quite figure out how the agent did the math because I got charged at total of $2455.30 CAD at an exchange rate of 1.322 (even though she told me it would be 1.34) for 4 x $344.71 USD (no tax) for each adult ticket and $330.01 USD (no tax) for 1 child ticket (10-day PH). I believe I should have been charged $351.75 for the adult tickets and $336.75 for the child ticket based on the Disney website. Overall, I saved $50 CAD with her math!

Question: The email she sent me (from Walt Disney World Reservations) says "My tickets are activated" but also contains the message the I have to trade in the exchange certificates in advance of the first use. It's the "Your Tickets Are Activated" message that scares me a bit. We're not going until August so if they are activated now... it'll be a problem. Do they mean the certificate is now valid??

Last question (for now LOL): The day I trade-in the exchange certificates for real tickets - is that automatically the first day of activation or is the first day the first time we actually enter the parks?

TIA, everyone! This thread has been super helpful with my ticket purchase planning.

Quickest answer @candygirl75 your tickets are attached to your account and are valid to be used for making FP+ etc. You will need to show ID to prove that you are a Canadian before you use it to enter a park. You can do this at any guest services, including Disney Springs before you head to a park. Make sense now?
