confused on hotel price

[jkh1978]

I am considering booking the GCH on Nov 10 - Nov 15. I priced a theme park view with and without tickets. The price is a big difference

2817 with 3 day pass
2125 without tickets

am I looking at it wrong on the disney site?

How many people did you enter the reservation for?

Going through for hotel only, I got the same price for the resort view room. Put in only one person.

1 person, theme park (interesting that they call it "theme park view" for the package, but "resort/pool view" for hotel only) view, same days...2644.

2 people: 2817.

Difference, 692, as you know.

If you click on "Package" on the disneyland.com page showing the hotel and ticket, you'll see it's a full package. It's not just hotel room and tickets.

An adult 3 day hopper, bought ahead of time through disneyland.com, is 169.

Only you can decide if a package deal is worth that extra money!

Looks like in this case, the prepurchase price through disneyland is the same as through GAT. And the MMs don't matter, b/c the OP is staying onsite.


OH, regarding the prepurchase price...when we bought our Costco Travel package last year, the value of our tickets was exactly the prepurchase price of those hoppers. Since Costco goes through WDTC, I assume it's the same, so really it's just the fact that it's package vs hotel that's making it so high, not the tickets.
