New "Least Expensive Ticket Options" page from the Unofficial Guide

[lentesta]

Hey NCRedding,

The $51 ticket is for active military folks (I think someone said civilians working at the Department of Defense get the same deal). It's a bug in the code that should be fixed this evening.

Where in NC are you? I'm in Summerfield.

I think four options is enough also.

 

[jaysue]

I think 3-4 options max should be allowed

thanks

Thanks folks.

A new version has been posted as of 8:10 pm EDT. It resolves the issue where, say, Pleasure Island tickets were suggested when no PI visits were specified.

Still interested in hearing how to ask the 'park hopping' question. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks!

I really like seeing the best four options. However, maybe my info is wrong, but is an advance ticket to DQ $33? You can get them through ticketmania for $24.

Plus, according to Mousesavers:
"In 2004, Disney World Annual Passholders get a $4 discount on adult admission and $3 discount on child admission on DisneyQuest, for the Passholder and up to three guests."

Is there any way to change the suggestion to buy an AP and take into account the revised cost for DQ?

lentesta: Thanks for the explanation. I am in Asheboro.

If we want six days park, one night PI, one water park, no DQ, retun within a year, I keep getting the option, even with UPH and PH+ to add the PI admission???? Why would it add that on, it is included with both of these, isn't it?

Len,

This is a great tool and has just confirmed what I had spent weeks struggling to working out for myself - if only I had known that this would appear!!

Do you think you could expand it to include Universal etc.. as well.

Thanks for all your hard work

Great concept. I punched in my data, and didnt get to the next screen, I believe it's because I am a netscape user (as you advised)

 

[JoGloMorKat]

Like abitjaded, I'm also confused on what results came back. We're doing 6 days at the park, 1 water park, 1 day DQ and 1 night at PI for the DW and I. The options recomended PH+ tickets and the individual tickets for the water parks. One option had the PI ticket and one had the water park ticket.

I did like the option to see what the next longest ticket package was too so I could decidee if we wanted another day at the parks or not.

Great work and a great book. Would not think of planning a trip without it.

 

[WDWAurora]

I'm still having trouble...If I'm only going to be in the parks 4 days, why does it keep recommending 5 day park hopper pluses? It's also adding the PI entrance fee, which should be included with the PHP...

Great! Easy to use and a quick result. The only suggestion I have is to add where you can get the tickets you are recommending. Some of the tix, like the 3 day uph or ph+ are harder to find. Some people just might find it helpful to have the information right there when they get the search results. I know I would have
It is a REALLY REALLY great tool.
