US disney website help help please

[mackay_j]

please help all my US disney ebsite links have suddenly started taking me to the UK planning site. I need the US site to book the ticket package so that I can only book a 1 day ticket and still get the dining plan. Help

I would check carefully the prices with Disney.com compared to .co.uk. Last time I checked they were way too expensive this year. Our package with free DDP end of last year cost £2,194 this now on .co.uk is about £4,000 but on .com its over £6,000. Not sure when their free DDP offer will be starting but without it they are way OTT.

Hi I hope that this is not just a way to stop EU visiters from booking that way as if we have to go through UK booking we need to buy packages with min 7 days water park hopper ticks so it all becomes so much more expensive

No it's just some teething problems with the new US site, the UK lot know about it and are fixing it

The 1st response I got from them was more or less saying that we wouldn't be able to use it in future, I think they did not understand the problems we were having to start with but after 100's of us have emailed complaining I think they have realised we need to access .com for things like our Annual pass accounts, book DME & to book party tickets etc.

Glad I found this thread - I thought I was doing something wrong!

Hope it's sorted out soon.

Have to agree with Wayne on this. In the past, Disney.com was better value as it always less expensive but at the moment Disney.co.uk is much cheaper - it doesn't even have anything to do with the exchange rate either.

My advice is always to compare the two before booking.

Hi I second that if you are just booking a room or want a room plus at least 5 days of disney tickets then at the moment Uk site is for once cheeper. but for me I want the 2 nights plaus disney dining plan and only want 1 day of tickets as I have some lleft from a previous trip. but is worth a check

But wouldn't the extra cost of room on .com cancel out any savings buying DDP?
We are looking for 2 nights at AKL 29-31st August after our cruise. .co.uk is £274 last time I checked .com the same 2 nights were around $600/night (£413) £139 more before adding a ticket and DDP.
Just asked a friend in Seattle to check latest price for me but the site is down.
