Well, it depends on what you are buying. We're buying a bunch of expiring passes, and they're definitely less expensive than what we would have had to purchase if they didn't make the changes they made last year. We're saving quite a bit of money.
It was for us, too. We paid a LOT less for 6-day hoppers this year than last. We did a mix of APs (with the DVC discount) and hoppers. Even with a Disney increase, we'll probably be coming out ahead of past years.
So with this increase in price how many of you are going to purchase your tickets early? I am thinking that I might as well bite the bullet and buy the 7 day non expiring hopper option since we plan on going back to Disney in 2007. We already have our tickets for 2006. Does anyone else do this? It's a big chunk of change to shell out for tickets expecially since it is so close to Christmas but I am almost afraid of how much the price will go up. Any thought?
We'll pass on SW. We'd already thought it was too steep after last year's increase - so they've lost our $$. We have enough trouble doing everything we want to get done at WDW.
