shades of green park tickets

[sheelysmom]

Okay, someone please help me - I am very confused. I will be staying at Shades of Green for two nights in a couple weeks. We will only spend one day at Magic Kingdom before we leave on our Disney Cruise. I was under the impression that I could purchase discounted park tickets at the resort. When I went to the SofG website, their quoted ticket prices are actually four dollars MORE expensive than the tickets on the official WDW website. Does this make sense? Am I looking at the wrong pages? Can anyone who has purchased park tickets through Shades of Green since the pricing change help me? Am I loosing my mind??

I have not purchased tickets at Shades of Green, yet, but we are planning to in about 10 days. The prices for the 5-7 day passes (which is what we are interested in) are better than the ticket brokers by a few dollars.

I am not sure which ticket you want, but here is the breakdown for a one day ticket (since you said you want to go to the MK for a day):

One Day- No Hopping
Disney gate or (Advanced purchase, it appears): $63.64 w/tax
SOG: $63.25
So you save a few cents.

Here is the SOG ticket price page:

I actually just noticed the same thing, but I think I have it figured out. The SOG prices you do not add tax to and the prices you are seeing from Disney probaby do not include taxes. At least I think that is the way it ended up. The seven day ticket I looked at (premium MYW with park hopper and magic plus) was $275 at SOG and something like $268 at the Disney website, but then when I looked at Mousesavers website, I realized that tax would be added to the Disney price.

You are right. Disney adds tax to the ticket price you see, where the ticket brokers and SOG already have tax (if required?) in their price.

Have a great trip!

SOG is tax exempt, both for rooms and tickets. They pay no taxes so they charge none.
