According to Mousesavers.com starting January 2, 2005 Disney will offer the following Vacation Packages:

New for 2005 - Magic Your Way Tickets

Park Hopper Option - Adding the Park-Hopper Option lets you come and go as you please through all four Disney theme parks on the same day or every day for each day of your pass. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $35 – or just $5 per day on a seven-day ticket.

Magic Plus Pack - This option provides the choice of admission to Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, DisneyQuest, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island or Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $45 (includes 2-5 visits to Magic Plus Pack attractions, depending on the number of<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=base&id=3';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=base&id=3';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=base&id=3';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> base </a></a></a>ticket days you purchased).

2005 Packages - "Magic Your Way"
Walt Disney World Resort has unveiled an innovative new vacation package system. The new Magic Your Way<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> Tickets </a></a></a>and vacation packages will be available for booking and travel beginning January 2, 2005, and will provide a wider range of options that allow you to design a Walt Disney World vacation that matches your needs and desires.

Disney says that with the new Magic Your Way Vacations, a Walt Disney World vacation has become more affordable. A family of four will be able to enjoy a weeklong (6-night/7-day) Walt Disney World vacation – including a stay at an on-property Disney Value Resort hotel with<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> tickets </a></a></a>to all four theme parks during regular or value season – for less than $1,500.

The basis of the new packages is a completely new admission ticket system. For the first time ever, the new Magic Your Way<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> Tickets </a></a></a>will offer significant year-round savings that grow the more days you visit. A seven-day theme park ticket, for instance, averages just $29 per day, or less than half the price of a single-day ticket ($59.75 per adult, before tax).

The new<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> tickets </a></a></a>offer the flexibility of adding options like Park Hopping or water park visits to theme park<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Tickets&id=28';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> tickets </a></a></a>or selecting a vacation package that includes meals. For that reason, Disney’s Magic Your Way Vacations put you in control of framing the vacation that best suits your desires and budgets.

Some people may choose the affordability of a Magic Your Way<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=base&id=3';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=base&id=3';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."><a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=base&id=3';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> Base </a></a></a>Ticket to the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Others may be interested in the added flexibility and fun of a ticket that includes admission to water parks, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island and other great venues. Some may choose a ticket that lets them visit multiple parks in the same day. You now pay only for the options you want!

The new ticket options are the cornerstone of a new menu of Walt Disney World Resort vacation packages offered by the Walt Disney Travel Company. These new vacation plans, which no longer require a minimum length of stay of at least three nights, also become available for sale and travel beginning January 2, and include the following options:

The Magic Your Way vacation package is the most affordable "starter" package and is available to those staying at the Disney-owned-and-operated resorts, the Swan and Dolphin, selected Downtown Disney hotels and some Disney Good Neighbor hotels. It includes:

Accommodations at a Disney resort

Magic Your Way Starter Pass (allows you to visit one theme park per day)*
Official Walt Disney Travel Company luggage tag (one per person)
3-night Value Season packages will start at:

$329 per adult
$198 per Junior (ages 10-17)
$158 per child (ages 3-9)
*The Starter Pass can be upgraded with the Park Hopper option, Magic Plus Pack option and/or No Expiration option at an additional cost.

Everyone in the room must be on the same package and ticket options. All passes must be used within 14 days of first use, unless the No Expiration option is purchased.

Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining
As part of its new lineup of Disney’s Magic Your Way Vacations, the Walt Disney World Resort is introducing a new package that includes convenient and affordable meals.

Available only with packages that include accommodations at a Disney-owned-and-operated hotel, the new Disney’s Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining is a convenient and affordable way to experience many of the unique Disney dining locations found across the Walt Disney World Resort. The additional cost is $35 per night per adult or junior (ages 10-17), $10 per night for children (ages 3-9).

In addition to the regular features of the Magic Your Way vacation package, each day you can enjoy the following (per person, per package night) from more than 100 participating Walt Disney World Resort restaurants:

One table service meal – includes appetizer, entrée, dessert, non-alcoholic beverage and gratuity/service charge
One counter service meal – includes entrée and non-alcoholic beverage, or full combo meal: entrée, side dish and non-alcoholic beverage
One snack – such as a snack-cart ice cream, box of popcorn, or medium soft drink at select counter-service and snack-cart locations
For example, a guest with a length of stay of 3-nights/4-days who elects to book Disney’s Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining would receive three table service meals, three counter service meals, and three snacks per person, for their stay. Children must order from the kids menu, when available.

Meal options are flexible and can be used in a variety of combinations, including using multiple meal options in any one day, exchanging one table-service meal for one character dining experience, or exchanging two table-service meals for one meal at a dinner show or at a signature restaurant like the California Grill.

If choosing this plan, the Disney’s Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining must be purchased for all guests in the party ages three and up.

And finally...

Disney’s Magic Your Way Premium Package – This deluxe package is similar to the old Platinum package and includes everything from Disney’s Magic Your Way Package as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner per person, per package night, along with other exciting options like recreation, theme park tours, and admission to the Cirque du Soleil show La Nouba, and more.

Magic Your Way Vacation Package

Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining

Magic Your Way Premium Package
 
I just saw this on Mary's website myself...I'm really, really hoping it will add up to less money for those of us who spend a week at WDW. I can't wait for her to post the actual prices and comparisons to booking everything separately. I DO, however, like the flexibility of the tickets alot.

Karla B. :flower1:
 
Okay, re-reading the info, what I'm most struck by is the dining deal. Unless I'm reading this wrong, it says that for an extra $35 per adult per day and $10 per child per day, you get a counter-service meal AND a full-service meal AND a snack. This seems like an incredible savings...what do the rest of you think?

Karla B. princess:
 
Why would I want to pay an extra $35 to park hop a day on a ticket that is already $57 though. I think they are hitting the people with the park hopping.
 

I already bought my family's park hopper tickets for our first trip in Feb. I am wondering if I can return them and buy my tickets this way instead. I bought 6 day PHP, but I knew that we probably wouldn't use the plusses, but this was the only way to buy for 6 days. I bought them at the Disney store, I am going to have to call them and find out. Wish me luck as this would save us a lot of money!
 
I think the point is that the longer you stay, the greater the savings. The $35 add-on for the Park Hopper option would only be $5 more per day if you bought the 7 day tix. But, you're right, it would be expensive if you were just going for a couple of days.

While I appreciate the mention, please just direct people to my site instead of cutting and pasting big chunks of material off MouseSavers.com.

I have extensively updated the information that was pasted into the original post on this thread. For instance, I now have all the ticket prices on my site.

It's better just to read it at the source. :D

Thanks!

Regarding my previous post, I called Disney store and they cannot change tickets once bought. So I called WDW info, and was told that I probably won't be able to change my tickets(she said this is all new, so she only had so much info, understandable). She also said that the ticket prices could have easily gone the other way-up. So I basically gambled and lost--lesson learned.
 
First of all, THANK YOU for the tremendous resource your website www.mousesavers.com provides...you've saved my family quite a bit of money and enabled us to take 3 trips to WDW!
Do you have any idea when we'll see what the "Magic Your Way" package prices available (i.e. for moderate or deluxe resorts)? I'm hoping that maybe, maybe we'll finally have a package-deal that truly is a bargain!
Thanks again!

No problem - I did a cut and paste because the site had several different links and I wanted them all together for myself for a easier read - but for future reference I will do just that!!!! :flower:

According to Allearsnet.com a 6 day Park hopper would be $196 ($32.67 a day) + $35 ($5.83 a day) = $2.31

Magic Your Way Ticket prices
 
But that price would also expire....so you got a bargain on the 6 day plus....just hang on to them for future use....

Seems like the new prices are a price increase EVERYWHERE for tickets similar to what is on the market now... God forbid you want to go for 1 day (price increase) or hop for 1 day ($100!!)...but a 7 day hopper, that never expires is no drop in price.


ffys
 
From the prices on Mary's site, it looks like the equivalent to a 7-Day PHP will now be
$355.71 including tax. This is less than gate price and more than advance purchase price. It also looks like the 7-day with all options (including not expiring) will include 5 pluses instead of 4 and will also include Disney Quest.

Of course we don't know what the advance purchase price will be.

It sounds like what Disney is counting on is that not many folks will purchase the non expiring option and will leave with unused days. I'm also betting that you won't be able to "add" the non-expiring at the end of your trip if you have a day left over for some reason. Of course this is all conjecture at this point.

Carol
 
Oh my goodness! So what's the tax rate? I've four calculators open on my desktop :bitelip: .
 
6.5% is the current tax rate for Disney tickets and all merchandise and food at WDW.
Most of WDW charges 11.5% hotel tax.

FYI - 7% is the current tax rate for merchandise and food at All-Stars because they are in a different county.
All-Stars charges 12% hotel tax.

Carol
 
I think I have calculated this correctly:

A current 4 Day Park Hopper with tax is $215.13, the Magic Your Way 4 day ticket with the Hopper but without the No Expiration Option and tax would be $234.30, an increase of $19.13.

A current 5 Day Park Hopper with tax is $244.95, the equivalent Magic Your Way 5 day ticket with the Hopper but without the No Expiration Option and tax is $242.82, a savings of $2.12.

I would appreciate someone checking my numbers. It just appears that that Disney once again is making it harder for me to make a decision. Since the old tickets will only be sold through 01/01/05 I suppose I have to make a decision very soon. I had hoped on making a decision between a 4 day Park Hopper and an AP closer to our June trip if the numbers worked in my favor due to a hotel discount! This really puts a cramp in that plan. I think the old Park Hopper tickets that don’t expire are the better bet. I may even buy the 4 Day Park Hopper for myself and if I can get a substantial AP discount on the hotel I will still by an AP and save the Park Hopper for 2009!
 
This sounds about right. The shorter stays are increases, the longer stays are decreases or about the same.

The folks that will see the real savings are those that normally purchase Ultimate Park Hoppers as those prices are a significant decrease.

Carol
 
I bought 6 day PHP tickets for Feb. trip. I paid $288.oo +tax which came out to $304.00 for an adult ticket. I am thinking we will not even be able to use the plusses, but this was the only way to get 6 days. The way I figure with the new set up, I would pay $196.00 + $35.00 in order to hop for an adult ticket. That's $231.00 + tax. This would be quite a savings for a family of 4. Also, being out first time at WDW, I didn't think I was worried about the expiration part of it. But after planning this whole trip, it seems like it's going to be such a blast that we will probably be returning.But like I said, it looks like I need to keep what I've got.
 
I think I'm starting to get it, I have a thick skull. I also just read that Disney will offer advance purchase discounts so the prices I was working with are the full price for the Magic tickets. I used the advance purchase price on the old Hoppers to compare. Hope they come out with the discounted prices on the Magic tickets soon so I can compare ”apples to apples.”
