Patiently waiting for D23 Expo 2011 prices

[toddbushman]

Ever since they announced that the tickets for the D23 Expo in 2011 would go on sale a year in advance (August 19th), I've been patiently waiting for the prices to show up. I figured once Destination D pricing was announced it would follow quickly. Then I figured, it surely has to come out by July 17th (55th anniversary of Disneyland), of course that day passed too. Now that the tickets go on sale in less than a month, I am getting less and less patient.

Anyone else waiting for this announcement? What do you think the pricing will be? Last year you could attend all 4 days for $90, and with apparently 40,000 attendees that seems reasonable. I expect it to be at least $100 this time and wouldn't be surprised to see it higher. Loved all the surprises last time and imagine the 2 year wait is so that they can continue to delight and surprise again (when is Pirates 4 supposed to be released? Perhaps Johnny Depp will appear again?).

Perhaps I'm the only one planning on buying tickets on August 19th a year in advance, but figured if anyone else would they would be on this board... Your thoughts/expectations?

It was $90 for 4 days last year, but there are only 3 days this year. I'm hoping they keep the pricing the same or less.

I think they're probably waiting for Destination D to sell out. It doesn't make sense to decide and/or release Expo pricing when you can't even sell out this relatively small event.

I don't think the prices will be much different either. I didn't get to go to last years, but definitely am planning on going to this one! I think that they are doing the same thing they do for the races - registration opens and you find out what the price is - not either/or. August 19 will be here before you know it!

Could be and good point about it only being 3 days next year.

I guess I'm only bugged because they announce 4 months ago that it is going on sale a year in advance (5 months basically from the announcement) and the website has said since that time "Special member ticket prices will be announced soon" in bold -- the only thing highlighted in the announcement.

Not complaining mind you, but just anticipating...

Guess I'll probably have to wait until August 19th to see!

I'm guessing it will be more. I thought the Expo was a super bargain, kind of an introductory price" I'd pay more. It was a wonderful time and I will probably buy tickets right away.

I hope they really have the tickets for sale on Aug. 19th because they have said that with the races and it isn't until a month later that they finally are. Very aggravating! It is too early to make room reservations, so I will wait a bit.

Regardless of the price, it will be nice to see so many Disney fans in one place!

I am really looking forward to next years D23 Expo after last years was great. It will be really interesting to see how much tickets will be this year, I would assume with one day less at next years Expo, they will keep it around the same price.

I already have my room booked

Wow! Most hotels only let you book a year out.

 

[toddbushman]

Have been wanting to book a hotel myself, but haven't tried hard enough apparently... Guess I could always try calling and see if they'd do it since online they aren't taking reservations yet...

Dang! 2 Queens, a pull out AND a roll away!! Gonna be a party in that room!!

I can't check on rooms until 90 days out - maybe a little further out than that - our employee rate and friends and family rates aren't usually available until then. But, they are usually worth the wait. Regardless, it sounds like you are all set!
