Todd, we have a 1 day ticket on our package. We have to upgrade yours anyway (I already have a 10-day, PH, NE ticket at home so I have to get my 1 day ticket OFF the Keys to the Kingdom card when we get there for future enjoyment). Figure the cost of that 1 day ticket to be about $80 - approx.

An AP will run $520.79 and expire in 1 year. A 10 day park hopper non-expiration ticket will run $551.23 and not expire.

Take the approx $80 off that you've already paid.

Because we don't know what the future holds, I personally think the 10 day PH NE ticket to be smarter. But only if you aren't spending less than 10 days in WDW in the next 366 days.

Savvy?

This makes me want to go......

Tracey's (tlcoke) question on last week's e-mail show has been kicking around my head for the past seven days.

She asked about upgrading a Magic My Way ticket to an annual pass.

Is the cost to upgrade simple subtraction? Cost of annual pass minus cost of ticket? Disney doesn't seem to do things the 'easy' way, so I wonder. Also, how do we know the cost of the ticket (as we have a package)?

Unfortunately it sounds as if the AP would start on the first day the ticket was used...in my case, Dec 10, 2009. That means that its last use would be on Dec. 9, 2010, correct? Well I know if I do upgrade to an AP, I will certainly be there pre PCC 2.0.....

For me it is the best option to upgrade to the Annual Pass.
I am going for 10 days in October (I have purchased an 8 day PH with my package, and then planned on using my 1 day ticket from last year and 1 day MNSSHP, skipping the park during the day) and then DAP, so calculating the price of the tickets for both trips, it is cheaper for me to upgrade to the AP on my trip next month than purchase separate media for both trips. It would have been a better deal if I could get the 15 months because it would then cover PCC 2.0 too, but I don't live in Florida and I will be a new AP holder, so I will only get the 12 months.
I also look at it, if it works out for me to go on PCC 1.5 next summer, then I can also do a couple of days at Disney on that trip too.

You can get ticket only pricing on Disney's website, which helps you price your options, just click on the tab for Tickets.

A couple things...Maybe they've already been mentioned. Purchasing a new AP or upgrading gives you 15 months instead of 12 right now. That's something to consider when factoring price versus number of days used.

Also, I believe you get an extra day on your AP. You can use your AP the last day it expires. It would be your anniversary date printed on the back of your AP ticket. Your AP is still valid on that day.

Aaron, that was part of my question on last week's email show. The 15 months only applies to New Annual Passholders who live in Florida and on all renewals. I was hoping it was for both globally.

Well...I made a reservation..but not at a Dsiney resort. I'm staying off-site because that's what I can afford right now...maybe somethin will change later on.

OK....so I have a feeling that I'm going to open a sore subject here, but am I allowed to catch a park bus from DTD even though I'm not staying on property?? I will have my tickets, but I just wanted to know how this works. Also, if that's a no-no, how much do the cabs cost???

I'm not trying to start anything...I just wanted to know what's goin on is all. Thanks

 

[jcb]

am I allowed to catch a park bus from DTD

I think it is a fair question. The answer, unless something has changed, is that there is no "park bus" from DTD. Buses run from DTD to the resorts, not to (and from) the parks. I'm not sure about TTC, though.

Terri,
The DTD buses only travel to the Resorts for Resort guests, there is not a bus to the parks from DTD.
I have never taken a cab from a offsite hotel to any of the parks, as I have had a rental car the times I stayed off property so I cannot give you an answer to that part of your question. You might check with your offsite hotel, many of the offsite hotels offer some type of shuttle service to the parks, some free, others at a minimal cost.

Thanks everyone!! I thought about Best Buy, too George. That way if something goes wrong, I can take it back or something.

Also check out the Delloutlet. I would personally never buy another computer with Vista on it and at BestBuy that is all you are going to get.

Due to all the bugs in Vista, I would wait until the new Windows OS comes out next month and wait a few weeks to see how well it performs, before making a purchase.

The cab cost would depend on where you are staying. I bet if you called them, they could tell you what the cost would be. I would also check if they have a shuttle to WDW. Many of the local hoteld do. The buses at DTD go to the Disney resorts. You might think of checking out a rental car. Sometimes you can get really good rates in Orlando.

Glad you got a good hotel rate!
