Disney site changes package prices!?!?!

[cavepig]

So, on Sunday (6/17) I saved 4 packages, 2 at POP and 2 at AOA with and without the middle Dining Plan.

Today (6/19) I go there to book and prices are higher?!?!?

So, I calculate out each part individually for the AOA mermaid 7 nights, 5 day hopper, and middle Dining plan to get what it should be and it matches the prices today not Sunday. I get $3405.79, the site today says $3418.03 (which is typical to be off a little cause they somehow add a few dollars to packages I guess or my taxes are off). On Sunday it was $3336.01 which is in my saved offers.

So, what gives why on Sunday was it lower than today?!?!?! It's not a huge difference , $82.02, but what is it from?

this is for 2 adults and 2 kids (9 & 11), so for dining and tickets 3 adults, 1 child. Dates Oct. 18-25.

Yep - I just checked my saved vacations. I had a price of $1355 and now it is $1418. I am guessing that they have added in the ticket price increase??

I thought that could be it but didn't that go in effect like June 3 or something?!?! I don't know.

They had not updated ticket prices on the Disney site yet.

Out of curiosity, I went to redo my booked trip and it doesn't even give an option of a 9 day hopper ticket. If I uncheck hopper, It gives a 9 day ticket as an option, but as soon as I check hopper it goes from 8 days to 10??? I am booked with a 9 day hopper at the old prices, so hopefully I won't have an issue, but I think it is really weird.

I am booked with a 30% off code, do you think I will have to pay the new ticket prices if I am able to switch to FD? And what do you think will happen to my 9 day hopper pass? I wonder if I should call them?

When I switched from a room only discount to FD last year, they didn't change my ticket prices on my package. The package rates are locked in for the year, as long as you've booked & paid your deposit, so the increase shouldn't be added unless you cancel & rebook.

Did you get trip insurance? Trip insurance went up from $69.95 to $75.95 per adult. That could be part of it.

 

[cavepig]

No insurance added.

It's the ticket price increase. I wish I had realized it hadn't changed yet and would have booked Sunday, oh well.

Good to know! Thanks! I wonder why they are not giving a 9 day hopper option?? Weird.

Was having problems with the reservations as well. It was 5 days for me that was not working, but i refreshed the page, and it gave me the option for 5 days again.

I was on there last night "playing" with my saved offers and comparing prices b/c the price the CM was giving me over the phone (booked a month ago) was lower than the website now gives me. Anyway, I clicked on my saved offer (which was of course lower than the current price) and then click on "book it" and it was still giving me the "saved offer" price and let me edit it to add a day. So, maybe try it that way to see if you can keep your saved offer package pricing to book it.

Everytime I clicked on a saved offer it changed it when I went to book it, oh well.
