WDW Ticket Cost Analyzer

WDW Ticket Cost Analyzer is a spreadsheet to help you decide whether to use the remaining days on your old park hoppers or credit those days toward a new MYW ticket. Hope it helps!

For thsoe who already downloaded, please be aware of the following policy changes noted in the thread *UPDATED* Magic Your Way Tickets And Packages FAQ :

4.) UPGRADING: If you are within 7 days of the FIRST time you used your ticket, or your ticket is completely unused, you may upgrade it. You will receive full credit for Disney's GATE price of the pass. This does, now, include broker passes. (Hotwire, Ticketmania...) From there, you may then purchase admission, but remember that you'll have to follow the first two guidelines.

5.) DOLLAR CREDITS: If your ticket has been used, and it's been MORE than 7 days since your past use, you can get a pro-rated dollar credit for the remaining admission. Once again, the pro-rated credit you receive is base on Disney's GATE price of the pass. This does, now, include broker passes. (Hotwire, Ticketmania...) That dollar credit is then applied toward new admission. The NEW admission must still follow the first two guidelines.

5.) DOLLAR CREDITS: If your ticket has been used, and it's been MORE than 7 days since your past use, you can get a pro-rated dollar credit for the remaining admission. Once again, the pro-rated credit you receive is base on Disney's GATE price of the pass.

So, if you don't get a full days hopper price for a credit, then why would you need to trade it in? Why not just use the media you have. It's still good right? We have hoppers with 1 day left, so our next trip I'm going to buy the MYW passes for one day less than we need and use the old hoppers first. Don't you think that would be the best way?

I'm a little unclear on what the pro-rated credit is based on - the old gate price or the price paid to the ticket broker? I will post a question on the referenced thread and post back here with any clarifications.

Okay, so the info from other thread states you will get full credit for each day based on what you paid for the ticket. So for example, let's say Disney's price in 1999 for a 5 day PH was $200. If you paid $200 (before tax) at the gate in 1999 for a 5 day PH, you would get $40 credit today for each unused day. If you bought that same 5 day PH from a tcket broker for $150, you would still get $40 credit per day.

This info comes directly from the thread mentioned previously: *UPDATED* Magic Your Way Tickets And Packages FAQ

If this is indeed true, it makes it difficult to know outright whether to credit or use the remaining days. That's why I created the spreadsheet.
