Undercover Tourist pricing

[BrownHP800]

Maybe I am missing something but there is very little to no savings from Undercover tourist for tickets. Their 1, 2 and 3 day tickets are higher than gate price. Their 3 day park hopper + 1 day free is a $4 savings over gate price. UT 3 day park hopper with 1 day free : $390.74 It says saves $28 over gate price. Disneyworld.com 4 day park hopper $394.00. Is gate pricing that much higher than what is on their site?

Now the 1 good thing is that if I buy from UT and use my Barclay's card I can erase a travel expense with my points where I could not do that directly from Disney.

Anyway my plan is to get tickets from UT, erase up to $500 of the charge by using my Barclay card and then use those tickets to upgrade to an AP for the wife and myself. Basically it reduces the cost of the AP by $500 which is a great savings.

Disney typically does not discount 1 & 2 day tickets when it sells them to authorized resellers.

You have to add 6.5% sales tax to the $394 price direct from Disney before you compare. 4 day + hopper is $419.61 direct when you include tax. UT prices already include sales tax.

I second erionm's comment. In order for me to compare prices I would act like I was going to buy the tickets from WDW and get all the way to the end prior to fully checking out so I could see the tax part. Then I would compare prices to other 3rd party resellers like AAA, UT,etc .

As far as I know WDW does not have different pricing on their website in comparison to gate pricing (except 1-day pricing does vary by day you pre-select but does not actually vary by purchasing online versus gate pricing). Now Universal Orlando does save you $20 off of gate pricing by buying on-line for any mult-day tickets but again their price doesn't include tax until the very end.

Agreed with PPs! I just bought the 3 day + 1 free w/ hopper from UT and I thought the same thing at first. I decided, I'd just buy from Disney and then realized when you add in the taxes, UT was about $28 cheaper since the price they show includes tax

My discount was like a $1 or $2 discount off of UT pricing when I bought in Feb..hey I'll take any little bit I can get.

Ahh, I didn't realize the tax thing. That makes a big difference. I thought I must be missing something and that was it. Always good info on here.

Yup, I bought an adult 5-day park hopper pass from UT earlier this month for $367 with the Mousesavers discount. I guess it was before prices went up because that same ticket is now $435.59 on the Disney website. Big difference!
