What is your price threshold? POLL

[mshanson3121]

I'm just curious as to what your price threshold is - when does the cost become too much for you financially, or just not worth it, when you consider what else you could be doing with your money? I'm using a 5 day basic pass as an example.

ETA: I just realized I set my prices as though based on a family of 4, and I can't figure out how to change the poll answers.

Does this include lodging?

No, it's just based on ticket prices. I entered price per family of 4 by mistake - so $1500 for 5 day basic passes for a family of 4. I realized my mistake after and tried to change it but it wouldn't let me. I did try to add a "note" in the last poll option with what the ticket prices are per person.

I'll be honest I don't even pay attention to the price of the tickets, never have. It is what it is, if we want to go we are going to have to pay it. If they get too high we may have to consider changing where we stay but I can't see the tickets ever getting to a place where we just don't go

Agree with some above. I can't answer because I price my vacation as a full vacation. Tickets are just a part of that total cost.

I do have a full vacation threshold though.

I can't even relate to pricing for tickets only for a family of 4.

I listed the prices per person underneath the options.

Your single ticket price points should be $500, $1000, $2000, $5000, & no price is too much. I really believe some people would be willing to pay $5000 for a five day ticket (that's only $1000 per day).

It doesn't really matter. The ticket price is just one piece of the puzzle. I guess I don't have a specific threshold, but it's more like "I'll know it when I see it" in terms of my breaking point. A lot of it has to do with the perceived value I'm getting for what I'm paying. And I do feel that perceived value taking hits from all sides lately.

Yes well the Wall Street people who can afford $1000 a day per person are most definitely not the majority of people attending WDW, so I wanted to keep it a little more geared towards the realistic majority.

To stop going, there would have to be some lack of value for what we are paying. As others have said, the tickets are only a part, and the cost per day drops dramatically. We have traveled a lot, and for the money, WDW is still a great value over many other vacation options.

Tickets are expensive. I just try to get my money's worth and go for the maximum number of days. Sometimes it means getting 10 day tickets, sometimes it means upgrading to an AP.

I see people mentioning staying longer to get more value out of the tickets. But as resort rates and food costs continue to climb, I'm not seeing that as being as effective as it used to be. But then it's also coming at a time that my daughter can't miss as many days of school. And I just don't see us willing to visit during the higher crowd times when school is out. Basically, for the first time in years, I do find myself considering the option of skipping our annual trip.

We've been lucky enough to take advantage of free dining every year for the past six years. A stay in a value resort will cost just over $100 per night at the end of August. The prices at the Values have stayed relatively low.

I left off my other criteria..... we don't go when it's hot. That's sort of limiting.

Ahh, yes. There's that.
We're miserable. But at least we're saving money.

Christmas and spring break basically? lol

I also try to avoid the crowds. If we go next year, it will likely be in early November.

 

[larryz]

I'm never going to pay rack rate for tix or rooms again, so list doesn't matter to me.

Funny, we received a survey about annual passes and their value just today from Disney.
Don't mean to hijack, but we've always been AP'ers and now with the changes and increases we are dropping them and cutting way back on trips.
So I guess, even though we're a family of two, we are now priced out of the market. We can only afford five days and have to rent out a lot of our points to afford that.
