>> Complete New Pricing: ALL TIX / ALL OPTIONS <<

[CanadianGuy]

here it is.. the complete new ticket pricing -- all tickets / all options

Please note - ALL PRICES HERE DO NOT INCLUDE TAX.

Except for.. parking, which has increased in this listing to 12$ per day!

 

[CJ]

I don't see it listed, so can I assume that the DDE price did not change?

 

[leebee]

DARN IT!!! This, of course, is not what I really want to be saying! I just ordered base passes from UT, not sure if I wanted hoppers or not. It would have cost me $40 more per pass to get hoppers from UT, $45 more if added on at the park, so I decided to wait. Now it'll cost me $50 more per pass if I add it at the park. Disney is SUCH a pain in the you know what sometimes! Now I'll be out $20 for upgrading to hopper passes intead of only $10...grrrr... Time to rethink the park planning again

 

[CanadianGuy]

DDE Price changes typically occur with dining plan price changes for the coming year.. -- I THINK... not 100 % sure on that.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Add 6.5% sales tax.

Thanks, Knox.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I just bought the UCT tickets with Park Hopper, and I'm glad I did! Got 7 days, including tax & shipping, for less than the no-tax price listed. Whew! Once in a while, I make the right choice!

I notice that on the AP it now has a third category as Charter. Does anyone know Charter is?

 

[CanadianGuy]

Anything charter by and large.. is generally not available to the public at large.. I don't think. But I am curious about that.

Charter refers to charter member annual passes. These are folks who purchased annual passes during the first year they were offered (sometime in the early '80's just prior to the opening of Epcot Center).

Thanks for asking, I was wondering the same thing?

Got the answer on this..

If you bought annual passes way back the first year they were available and kept them current up til now.. you'd be eligible for the charter pricing.

To sum up - if you don't already have a charter annual pass -- you can't get one now.

Read the highlighted portion below. I got a real laugh out of that.

Get ready to pay more cheese to see the mouse with price increase at Disney World

Scott Powers |Sentinel Staff Writer5:42 PM EDT, August 1, 2008 A basic theme-park ticket at Walt Disney World will cost an added $4 a person starting Sunday.

Disney announced increased ticket prices Friday afternoon that push the cost up 5.6 percent to $75 for the basic one-park, one-day ticket for adults and children age 10 or older. The old price, $71, is still in effect today. The price of a basic ticket for children ages 3-9 will rise Sunday to $63, up 5 percent from $60.

Disney also raised the price of its "Magic Your Way" multiday-ticket packages, by 3 percent to 8 percent. The top deal, a 10-day adult Magic Your Way ticket, now costs $237, or $23.70 a day, up 5.3 percent. The Park Hopper add-on, which allows ticket holders to move among any of Disney's parks, will cost $50 for up to 10 days, a $5 increase. The Water Park Fun & More add-on option remains $50.

Florida residents may buy advance tickets from participating agencies, by phone or over the Internet, starting at $67.50 for one day. That also reflects a 5.6 percent increase from the current base price.

The price increases were no surprise to Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services, who said Walt Disney Co. executives had indicated the parks were doing well despite the soft economy. The $75 mark is a bit of a consumer milestone, he noted. And it might be hard to leave it behind, he added.

"The difference between $74, $73, $75 -- there's not that much difference. Once you reach that level, you might as well go to $75," Speigel said. "But I think that puts their increases away at least for a couple of years."

Central Florida theme parks used to announce price increases near the end of the year or in early January. Disney and Universal Orlando switched to late-summer adjustments in 2006 to meet the publication deadlines for annual, independently produced guidebooks. SeaWorld Orlando and other Busch Entertainment Corp. parks joined the trend this summer, announcing price increases on June 30.

SeaWorld now charges $69.95 for a basic ticket.

Universal has not yet announced a price increase this year, though it and Disney have been in lockstep on ticket prices for several years. Universal's base ticket as of Friday still cost $71.

Well, thanks to this board, UCT, and Mousesavers.com, I saved $113 on five- 7 day base tickets (4 adult,1 child). This is when you figure the discount I got and the increase on the new tickets.

thank you to all three!! That pays for lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern, DH's favorite.

I know I'm doing something wrong here HELP

10 day adult park hopper with no expiration--$487
adult annual pass-- $469

Is it cheaper to buy an annual pass?

487-469= $18 cheaper.

If you will be there for any 12 days during a given 365 days it is cheaper to buy an AP (not taking no expiration into account). And then you can get DDE card, free parking, discounts on dining without DDE card, discounts at certain retailers, discounts on tours, possible room discounts, etc.

It sounds weird, I know, but back in 2004 it was cheaper to buy an AP at 8 days out.

 

[sanapunk]

So how much of an increase is that for the AP? I'm freaking out here!

I bought ten day tickets from UT but I am not leaving until Dec. If I decide to upgrade I was told to enter a park first and then upgrade so the ticket will be worth the current price and not the price I paid. Is this right?

 

[LinzDada]

So I have 1 day left on a 3 day FL Resident pass from last year that I took the no expiration option on. If I go to EPCOT this October and upgrade to a seasonal FL resident pass will i get credit towards the seasonal pass? If so at what price? The prorated rate that I purchased it at or the new updated 3 day pass rate? Or at another rate? Never upgraded so a little confused. Little confused most of the time anyways, LOL. Thanks.
