Ticket price increase?

[shfrey]

Have there been any price increase announcements? If not, when do you all anticipate the next one?

Early June is typical, and lately early in the calendar year. They are not announced more than two days in advance typically.

Is there a way to be alerted?

Watch Disney fan sites, including this one. Friday is a popular day for them to be announced, for implementation on Sunday.

So how does it work if it's a $4 price increase? Does that mean if we buy a 7 day ticket it's $28 more for that person? The reason I'm asking is that there are 12 of us going next November and getting 7 day tickets. $28 extra per person adds up.

Thanks!

The last price increase was in spring...I think March? There was no announcement ahead of time. The price structure isn't really the way you describe. If it goes up $4 for a single day ticket, multi-day tickets aren't necessarily increased $4 for each day.

Mousesavers sometimes has a headsup on price increases.

I would anticipate a price increase at some point between now and your trip. (assuming by "next November" you mean November 2015. ) When or how much I have no idea.

Is it true that as long as you do not use a ticket, it will not expire? So I can buy tickets for next November (2015) and pay the lower price and just put them up until our trip right? Adding them to DME would not make them expire would it??? You have to actually enter a park before your 14 days (or whatever the cutoff is) starts ticking. Please let me know, if I am correct about that. I may buy my tickets now.

True.

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. It's MDE (My Disney Experience), and no. (DME is Disney's Magical Express.)

4. Yes

Price increases don't work that way. If there's a $4 dollar increase on a one-day ticket, that doesn't mean there's a $4 day a day increase for longer tickets.

LOL Thank you!!! I always do that with MDE and DME too many acronyms too close to eachother. Thanks for the help.

Happens to the best of us. My most embarassing moment with acronyms...I worked for a PD in NY and when I was talking about getting in touch with SVU ( special victims unit ) and said SUV...more than once too Every time I watch Law & Order it all comes back to me

This is probably your best bet. Mousesavers is generally first out of the gate with heads up.

Everything you say is correct. There's only one warning about buying tickets prior to a price increase, and that's about upgrading them once your trip starts. If you bought the tickets directly from Disney online (MDE, mail order, will call) or from a WDW ticket outlet, you would pay for the upgrade, plus the price increase you skipped.

If you bought your tickets from a discounter like AAA, Undercover Tourist or Mapleleaf, or if they were from The Disney Store or they were old package tickets, you could avoid paying back the skipped price increase (and skip paying back the discount) by using the tickets at one of the theme parks first before you upgraded. Using those tickets raises their value to that day's full gate price, and you'll just owe the upgrade cost.

Thank you very much. We don't plan to upgrade, but if we would decide to this is great info to have.
