Re adding days to tickey

[curtisrs]

This may seem like a really strange question we are of t o WDW in October 2007 and not really sure how many days we will go between 6 and 10 days I think. When I was looking at buying tickets the difference was about $30 but I thought I read somewhere on discussion boards that you can get extra days added onto your pass in the park for around $2.50per day. Is this correct. Becaus if it is would in not be better to buy the 6 day pass and pay the $10 it would cost to get 4 more days put on it in the park that buy the 10 day pass outright. I might have read this wrong but please let me know what you think. Thanks

The tickets will be the same price either way.

The only thing your are saving is when you spend the money.

Now when you get past the 6 day mark the price per day does go down and the final few day are only a few dollars extra.

I would just get the six day pass and add the other days on if needed . I was just informed the other day that you have 14 days from first use to do most upgrades.

Except that if you order the extra days ahead of time through a ticket broker, you might do better. If you wait, you'll pay Disney prices to upgrade. So the prices you pay probably won't be the same. Close, but not the same.
When I compared my family's tickets, I found it better to buy the extra day ahead of time, but when I compared buying 6 vs. 10 day no extras tickets thorugh UCT, then the difference actually worked better to buy the extra days AFTER you were at Disney. IF you upgrade after you use them at least once, you'll only pay the difference in Disney prices.

Comparing 6 day tickets to ten day tickets (no extras) I get
UCT - 6day to ten day =$12

Disney - 6day to ten day= $9, but their overall prices are higher.

If you bought your 6 day tickets through UCT to Disney - you'd pay the UCT price, plus $9. So that would be your best deal in this case. Though the savings is only $3 per ticket.

On the other hand, October 2007 is a ways off. You could certainly wait until your trip was closer to buy your tickets, in which case you'd have a better idea of how long you intend to go. Disney will probaly raise prices between now and then, but it probably won't be that much. There's also always the chance that Disney will offer a discount for your travel dates.

That's an interesting thought.

Has Disney offered lower admission rates as a special?

I've seen lots of promotions on food, resort rooms, and package deals... how about specifically on admisssion media?

I have never heard of Disney lowering ticket prices as a promotional special.

Also, if you upgrade your partially used tickets at any Disney Ticket Window it does not matter if you bought the original tickets at full price or at a discount, you will only pay the difference between the current gate selling price of the ticket you are upgrading and the current gate selling price with the new features (plus tax, of course).

The only time WDW offers discounted tickets is as part of a vacation package. Occasionally they will offer some kind of deal to Florida residents, but even that is not often.

As for using a ticket broker vs. direct through Disney, in my experience I've noticed the price difference to be very negligible, if a savings at all. I would go with the 6 day ticket, and then upgrade while you're there if you find that you want the extra days. This is allowed within 14 days of the first use.
