Undercover Tourist No-Expire Tickets

[wareagle57]

How long do you think I should expect UT to carry their no-expiration tickets? I'd like to get one so I can take more 1-2 day trips without it being 140 dollars a day. I can't really afford to drop $700 on future vacations right now though. Any guess as to how long UT will still have them available?

They'll continue to sell them until their stock is depleted. How many tickets they have left and how long it will take to sell them is anyone's guess. I think this is one of those "get them while you still can" situations and I wouldn't hesitate with purchasing them if they're what you want.

I'm kind of in the same boat, though I'm hoping to get them next week when my new credit card arrives. I figured if I'm spending this much then I might as well take advantage of a credit card sign-up bonus!

It looks like all they have left now are the 5- and 6-day tickets. I was going to get a 10-day one

And, we are currently unclear on the upgrade situation.

I guess that answers my question. I looked Thursday or Friday and they still had the 10 days. I don't think it's worth it for the 6 days.

The 10-day hopper with water park non-expires are still available as are the 10 day base with water park non-expires. It's such a better deal to get the non-expires with the water park option! We bought the 10-day non-expire hoppers with water park option on UT for $769.53. That breaks down to about $39 per day for 10 park hopper days + 10 water park days that never expire. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Thanks! And I agree. I don't even see how the 5 day no-expire tickets are worth it unless you are keeping them for 20 years. It's close to 140 per-day, which is what a 1 day park hopper costs already.

Does anyone know if I can link the NE tickets to MDE with a former magic band?

Okay, I just now checked and their selection at UCT is way down from yesterday . They have 5 & 6 day Park Hoppers/NE. They have 10 day WPF&M tickets, NE. And they have 8 & 10 day Park Hoppers WPF&M, NE.

I had 6 day WPF&M NE, and returned them as I couldn't be sure if they could be upgraded. And they would have saved me $72 if they could have been upgraded to the AP I had planned to to upgrade to!

You link tickets directly to MDE by inputting the ticket numbers.

Any MagicBands that you have will automatically access any tickets linked to your MDE.

I ordered one 10 day NE w/hooper on the 20th and received an email on friday saying due to high demand, turn around time for shipping would be the middle or end of March. We're not going until October so it's not a big deal for us but just wanted to give anyone with a trip coming up this month a heads up.

I think what I might end up doing is buying 2 sets of 4-Day ParkHopper tickets. When we got to Disney we usually go to 3 parks anyway and the tickets don't expire AND they've got a sale going on where you can get a 4-Day ParkHopper for the price of a 3

Do the math very carefully, as buying 4-day Non-expiring tickets is usually a poor financial choice.

If you use 3 days in one trip, what value is the remaining day on the next trip?

No, I meant I would buy 4-Day regular tickets, since they don't expire anyway and we use tickets in 3-day bunches it wouldn't be a stretch to add a 4th day to our vacations

Do the math very carefully, ... (snip) .... If you use 3 days in one trip, what value is the remaining day on the next trip?

The value extracted from the nonexpiring ticket is the cost of a non-nonexpiring ticket that would have covered the same vacation, for example the cost of a 3 day hopper. If you park hopped, then the maximum value that can be extracted for using water park fun during the same vacation is about $25. since the combined WP and PH on the hypothetical alternate non-NE ticket costs just $25. more than the PH alone.

If you do not park hop and you go to just one minor park then the amount extracted for water park fun is the cost of a single day admission to the minor park.

The leftover day(s) and/or water park fun on the NE ticket represents an investment of what you paid for the NE ticket minus the value you extracted.

The current value of that 4th day on the ticket is $30. (Difference in cost between a 3-day ticket and a 4-day ticket.)
If you can use it by adding another day at the parks on your upcoming trip, that's a good deal.
