New magic your way park tickets?

[livcammom]

With the new Magic your way passes will they still honor the old park hopper passes? Are they the same price & do the magic your way passes allow you to hop from park to park? Any info would be appreciated. I haven't bought my passes yet & I'm afraid that I am going to be in trouble with all of my PS for meals. I have everything planned on each day.

I've already got Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus tickets. Am I REQUIRED to exchange them for Magic Your Way tickets?

Absolutely not. All tickets that you currently have, and tickets sold through 1/1/05 will be honored as is. No exchange is required.

Are they the same price & do the magic your way passes allow you to hop from park to park?

Prices are in the link. The pricing is based on the type of ticket you build. You can pay $35 on any base ticket to allow for park hopping.

Thankyou. With that in mind, should I buy the 4 day park hopper tickets now or wait & get the Magic your way with a hopper added on? In your opinion, which way would I get more "bang for my buck"? Me, DH, DD 5, DS 2 staying at CSR 2/5-2/12/2005.

4 day Advance purchase park hopper: $215.13 ($53.78 per day)

7 day Advance purchase MYW ticket w/ park hopping: $237.50 ($33.93 per day)

Sounds like you'll get a cheaper per day rate with the MYW ticket.

We were going to only go to the park 5 days and now for just a couple more dollars per person we are going for 7 days. If you go to www.allearsnet.com they have all the details.

As far as your PS's, are you keeping in mind the new Early Magic Hour schedule? If that's not on allears, you can find it on this board somewhere. If you have several PS's, you might benefit from the package where you get your room, park hopping tickets and meals. The dining option includes 1 sitdown meal, 1 counterservice meal and 1 snack per person for $35/adult and $10/child (3-9).

Since I will be going with a 5 yr old & 2 yr old, we will be there for 6 days & I just want 4 day hopper. I'm thinking that that would be enough for them & give them 2 days hanging with going to Chef Mickeys one of those nights for the "Disney" feel. I did not book my ps breakfasts early, so EE doesn't effect us. 10:30 PSB, 11:30 Crystal Palace, Ohana for dinner one night. Any feedback?

I thought maybe you would want to decide which park to go to or avoid based on when they have Extra Magic Hour. They are changing which days they have it on and adding evening EMH. Unless I can get to the park when EMH starts, I avoid the EMH park.

I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. If you are staying at a monorail or Epcot area resort, it's so wonderful to just spend a few hours at a time in the park and then take a hotel break before heading to the parks in the evening. By adding a couple extra park days, we don't have to feel rushed on the days we do go to the park.

Last trip we had a 4 day PH pass and we still didn't get everything done that we wanted to do.

Good points swilphil. We are staying @ CSR & we will be taking a nap break for the 2 yr old & take the 5 yr old swimming if warm enough or some exploring. Did you keep your kids up later that usual & if so how much & did you see them getting overly tired & cranky? I know @ some point this will be hard to avoid but I'll do my best. With all that said, do you think I should wait & buy the 7 day magic with hopper option?
