Tickets for Jan 2020

[lizzilou]

We are starting to plan a Jan 2020 trip and I was hoping the experts here would have a good guess for when the next promo or package calendar would be released. Its only through Dec 2019 right now. Do you think the buy 2 days get 3 free will be extended? Or are we SOL?

It will be my husband, 22 year old step son, 18 year old step son, and our 10 & 8 year old. We all went in 2014 with no Express Pass in June and I didn't feel like we waited in line that much. Since we are buying so many tickets, is EP really that necessary last week of January?

My guess is that the Buy 2, get 3 days free promo isn't going to come back anytime soon. Over the last year they have done a 2+2 and 2+3, but from what I've read previously, it was due to attendance being below projections so the promo was made to help boost attendance.

The only one I had previously seen with any consistency was a 2+1 promo, and that had typically been available on Undercover Tourist consistently. So in the end, I wouldn't count on seeing a 2+2 or 2+3 anytime soon (although I hope I'm wrong as I'm going in March of next year and would love for it coming back).

As for Express Pass, we have been a couple of times in the last 5 years at the end of January and crowds had been relatively light (other than around MLK Jr. weekend) and we were fine without Express Pass for the most part (we Stayed at Cabana Bay both times when going late Jan).
