Undercover tourist questions?

[buzzrelly]

Hi all…I have always purchased tickets directly from Disney in a package. Our first trip as DVC members is coming up in April and I am considering purchasing tickets from UT. My first question is, do they sell 9-day plus WP&M tickets? The web site seems to go from 8 days to 10 days. We are going from a Sunday to a Monday and would like to be able to go to the park each day, so I think I need 9 days, correct?

How reliable are these tickets? I am also considering purchasing our 3 day Universal tickets there as well. Any advice? Thanks!

I have used UT multiple times and never had an issue. They ship super quick too!

They are very reliable. I have used them many times throughout the years for my tickets and have never had an issue. As far as a 9 day ticket, I don't believe they sell one so maybe you can either just purchase the 8 day and take a day off to do something else like mini golf or shopping or purchase the 10 day and just have an extra day on there.

You could also purchase 8 day tickets and add an extra day once you had entered a park on your first day. You would not be able to book FPs for that day until you had upgraded, though.

UT is great. We've used them for WDW and DLR. We will be using them again for WDW and for Universal next time. They link just fine to MDE too. Look for the Mousesavers link to save even more money. I believe you have to get the link through their newsletter.

Thanks everyone. I don't want to be stuck without a park day. Even if we go elsewhere in the morning, we will usually end up at a park at some point in the day. And since we are staying at BLT, that park is usually MK.

I will have to price just purchasing a 9 day ticket from Disney directly, versus purchasing a 10 day from UT and see what is cheaper.

I was also thinking of purchasing the Universal tickets from UT, but they seem to be just a dollar or two less. I may just purchase those directly also.

If you are looking at most savings, and if you are looking ultimately of a 9 day plus WPF&M, no hopper, purchase a 5 day ticket with WPF&M from UT for $366.10 and when at Disney (after using the tickets for at least one park admission for bridging purposes) add 4 more days for $42.60, total $408.70. If total ticket is purchased from Disney, price is $430.26.

Savings are $21.56 per adult ticket. Linking through Mousesavers newsletter will give you $1 additional savings per ticket.

Wow! Does that really work? Will I still be able to pre-schedule FP+ at 60 days, for all 9 Days? Thanks!

Got to agree. Sign up for the Mousesavers Newsletter, use the link for additional UT savings. Even if you purchase and 10 day ticket from UT you are spending less than buying direct from Disney. (9 day WPFM plus hopper Disney, $457.95, 10 day UT, $442.03). That's before the Mousesaver discount.

Sorry my #'s included park hoppers forgot which tickets you were looking for. Either way you are still ahead buying from UT.

No, only for the days for which you have admission tickets. If Fastpass is of significant importance, see ottawamom's post above.

No, you'd only be able to book 5 days worth, since that would be the length of your ticket at the 60 day mark.

You are only able to book FP+ for the number of ticket days you have purchased and linked. If you purchase 5 day ticket then upgrade once in the park you will only be able to book FP+ for 5 days at 60 days out. Look at the alternative of purchasing the UT 10 day option that way you can book all 9 days at 60 days out.

Okay, thanks everyone! Sounds like I will be purchasing 10 day tickets from UT.
I definitely want to be able to book FP+ in advance since we are going at a busy time.
