Robo, what would we do without you! Thanks for the quick reply. I actually bought the tickets without the park hopper but I was able to change it since the order was not processed.

 

[Robo]

Very cool!

First...thank you Robo! I purchased the 6 day for 3 tickets through SW several months ago. I'm not going until May but I called today and asked them to send the bar code. I think I can now attach them to our MDE account. We have MB's from previous trips. Will I still have to go to guest services on arrival to pick up actual tickets? I remember in past if our bands didn't work we had to show our tickets. Also, can these tickets be upgraded? TIA

1. I think I can now attach them to our MDE account. We have MB's from previous trips.
2. Will I still have to go to guest services on arrival to pick up actual tickets?
3. I remember in past if our bands didn't work we had to show our tickets.
4. Also, can these tickets be upgraded? TIA

1. Sounds right.
2. If #1 works, you won't ever need the hard tickets.
3. That rarely happens anymore.
4. Yes.

 

[katallo]

As always, thank you!

if the following questions have been previously answered, please forgive me.

1. If i buy discounted 7 day hopper from U.T. can they be upgraded to the new hopper+?
2. If so, can they be upgraded online on MDE?
3. Can Memory Maker be added to U.T. tourist tix after they have been added to MDE?

 

[siskaren]

1. Yes

2. No

3. Memory Maker isn't "on" tickets

If you have a 4 day magic your way ticket does that mean over 4 days you could visit Magic, Animal and 2 days at Epcot?

A normal Magic Your Way ticket, yes. But not a 4 Park Magic Ticket, which is currently available through March 5.

Yes.
Any and all of the parks, and/or, any park multiple times.

DD is at MK now. She tried twice to upgrade 7 day tickets (from parksavers) to an AP at GS inside the park. Both CMs just quoted her the price she paid, not the new gate price. I told her to try the ticket GS outside MK. Hope it works.

She isn't supposed to get the new gate price, she's supposed to get the new pre-arrival price (AKA the one that's available on Disney's website).

But, they made price bridging more complicated and harped on when it is and isn't done in the training to the point where I think even more CMs are going to mess it up.

Agreed. What makes this so "messy" is that:
If you are upgrading to an AP you do NOT get the gate price
when they price bridge. You will get the new "pre-arrival price" that's stated on the website and NOT get the extra $20.

If you are NOT upgrading to an AP (but just adding "days") you DO get the gate price
when they price bridge. You will get the new "pre-arrival price" that's stated on the website PLUS, get the extra $20.

How's THAT for "messy?"

The only reason that I have that convoluted situation laid out, is that a very thoughtful WDW ticket insider has kept me informed. That CM is a life-saver for ticket info on the DIS!

But they told her to go from the 7 day to DVC Gold AP it would cost $140 per ticket. $419 plus $140 = $559.


The WDW website says a 7 day hopper is $485.

How much extra should she be paying?

What kind of tickets?
Base? Hopper? WPF&M?

And, I don't have the full cost of a DVC AP in my files, either.

Details are vitally important.

A Gold pass is now $559 plus the 6.5% sales tax. My math tells me that's a total of about $595.33, give or take a cent. (EDIT: It occurred to me that I could just visit the AP part of Disney's ticket site and get the actual post-tax price. They say $595.34. I'm going with that. DVC and Florida passes are priced the same.)

The pre-arrival price for a 7-day base ticket is $436.65 according to the Disney website. A 7-day park hopper is $516.53, same source. (Both numbers have tax.)

Looks to me like the upgrade should be about $158 and change from a base ticket or $78 and change from a park hopper, inclusive of taxes. But I've been awake since 4am, take my math with a shaker of salt.

Hopper. No water park.

 

[Robo]

Hopper. No water park.

DVC and Florida passes are priced the same... the actual post-tax price... $595.34.
The pre-arrival price for a 7-day... park hopper is $516.53 (numbers have tax.)

Looks to me like the upgrade should be about...
$78 and change from a park hopper, inclusive of taxes.

Using your ticket price numbers, agreed.

$78.81 is what I get.

Even if your math isn't quite right, still $78 plus 6.5% tax is a far cry from $140 she was quoted.


Thank you.
