Please help me figure out tickets!!

[zales127]

We go to Disney every year. Every year we stay on site. Every year we buy our tickets online when we book our package.

Last year we waited until we got to the resort and our total was ALOT cheaper than it was when we booked the tickets with our reservation.

We always get the 6 day with park hopper, waterpark fun & more.

The guy behind the counter asked..."How many water parks are you going to" we said Typhoon Lagoon 1 day...but we like to park hop because of dinners. He said we were paying waaaaay too much. So he adjusted our tickets but he didn't explain how...

I want to do the same thing this year but want to have an idea of what to pay..does anyone have any idea what he did???

I don't know for sure, but here are a couple of possible reasons for the price difference:

There's a difference between booking tickets when you book your resort because room + tickets = package. If you waited until arriving at the resort this time to buy tickets it sounds like you only had a room booked. Trip insurance is something you have to opt out of on packages so it's possible that was the difference.

Adding the parkhopper or waterparks and more option to base MYW tickets is $59 for either option, but if you add both it is only $84 per ticket. I think this combination option was introduced last year; prior to that you had to pay separately for hopper and wpfm.

Here's a link to the ticket sticky where you can calculate your ticket costs. Prices are in post #18 on page 2:
