POPpers are back from POP 9/29-10/6 and made GREAT friends!Chat until next trip!! Part 3

[CathrynRose]

So, could we go in oct. for 2 and a half days (buying a 10 days PH w/ DDP w/ no expiration) and use the other 8 days in nov.
Will that work or does the free dining expire no matter what after those dates? Do you KWIM??

No, no expire is "no expire"

I used leftover days for my January trip, from my Sept "free dining" trip.

 

[julsmom]

Jen have you considered an annual Pass? It makes way more sense than the 10 days.

The 10 day/no expiry/hopper is 443.05 with Tax
the annual is 462.21 and it is a hopper and obviously does not expire for a yr.

So if you made a 'minnie' trip for MNSSHP
THen in November AND go again before it expires you get 3 trips of tickets out of it! But once again you can't use the dining, BUT with an annual you get great room discounts!

hhmmmmm...

 

[julsmom]

Okay, my brain is working overtime.

But this is getting good.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

WE love the annual passes! the room discount is 50% and we used it ALOT! we had soo many site visits for our wedding and then just going! it was soo fun!! You also get 15% off at WOD! hhaah it really paid for itself after several trips! we will most likely go back to APs after the kids get a bit older and we start taking 2-3 trips within 12 months of each other

 

[CathrynRose]

This disney math is hurting my head.

I think I am just confusing myself.

Cat, if those dates are it, then that makes this year's free dining much shorter than last years. Correct?

Yes - shorter.

Okay, hang in here with me...

Can I buy 10 day park hoppers now (like this month) and add DDP to them when I book our rooms? I am thinking no. Right?

IF I buy them through 1 -407- ##### as opposed to TDS.

In order to get dining, free or not - you need at least ONE day (only ONE day) tickets in addition to your room package. I will be getting AP's this Sept but was required to get a ONE day ticket each, to get dining.

Has anyone heard about buying tickets through 'ticketmania'?

Ive used them, theyre good. But again - gotta get a one day to get dining, through Disney.

Why does this have to be so confusing?

Its not. Tell me what you want, and Ill tell you what to do.

That is exactly what we have always done. But now I am looking at breaking up our one trip into two trips. So I am trying to look at the best way to do it. I want to get a 10 day with no expiration. I have never done that. We always use our tickets during the one trip.


But Sean will never go for this anyway. I am just gathering up info for my case.

10 day no expire is a good idea..... heck depending on what you do, you could get 3 trips out of it. (although Michelle's AP idea is a good one too)

But we only bought 7 days in Sept, and I was able to use 3 leftovers in January.

Wait a minute. You get a room discount with APs???????????

 

[julsmom]

Its not. Tell me what you want, and Ill tell you what to do.

Thanks.

 

[CathrynRose]

Only IF theyre offering a discount at that time AND they generally come out really "last minute"-ish, and theyre not package discounts. Room only.

So - no dining.

So I cannot buy an AP and then call tomorrow and book a room discounted?
I have to wait for discounts to come out?

 

[julsmom]

Hey CAt, you cannot have a siggie, but you could tell me your leave date and I will put your countdown under my siggie so you can check it. Just an idea.

 

[julsmom]

I need to go pick up Jul. But keep the info coming please.

Correct! Exactly!

See this for an idea of when they come out in correlation to dates:
