UT more than disney?

I'm looking at buying five day base tkts. According to the website UT is more money. Is this true or is something wonky?

Disney posted prices don't include sales tax.

UT posted prices DO include sales tax.

Tax is 6.5%.

I've added the disney passes to my cart and there is a line that adds tax. I guess I'll try again.

I'm looking at the UT website right now, and the 5-day base ticket is $309.99. That includes sales tax and free shipping.

On Disney's website, same ticket is $323.76, including tax.

I'm in canada. Just talked to ut to get quote. My system up here seems to be doubling the cost at checkout.

Glad you checked into it further. I'm guessing my comment about tax and shipping would not apply outside the US. You'd have to ask for all costs to Canada, or about local pickup in Orlando when you arrive, which would require a trip to the UPS store near Universal.

They ship free to canada. Final cost for two adults and one child is 908.08. Definitely cheaper than disney.

That's something new I learned. Thanks. Sounds like the way to go. We swear by UT after many purchases over the years.

UT's Canadian Exchange rate sucks worse than your credit card's exchange rate, BTW (last I checked, it worked out about 17%, despite what it shows on the site). And your credit card tacks on 2.5% - 3.5% on top of their handpicked (not good) exchange rate (~10% + 3.5% = 13.5%... I don't believe they pyramid them). Something to chew on if you aren't paying in US Funds.

Call your CC company and work it all out. Or do what I did. Working all that out was too frustrating so I just went to CAA and paid the extra ~$5 to get a ticket there. Came with that silly diamond parking pass, too, so I can stub toes with the handicapped spaces (they're not in as good a location as you'd think).

All that being said, I did email UT a couple of times with questions and they answered quickly, so I imagine they're good to deal with, but pricing might not be as awesome as it looks to Americans for people outside the US.

EDIT: Looks like UT doesn't offer other currencies anymore. Canadians buying there should do what they should do for all purchases in US$ on a CC. Convert at the current exchange rate and add ~4% to cover the not-so-great exchange rate credit card companies pick and their bonus fees.
