Why no 6-day hoppers?

I know Disney is a big corporation, and some folks will rationalize that it's OK to steal from them because prices are high.

If everyone had this attitude, we wouldn't have Cars Land. Disney is in a position to invest in DCA precisely because they have funds to do so -- both funds that have been coming in over time, and funds that they can project in the future. (Some of those funds are even from the "unfair" price hikes that came up in the last few weeks.)

DLR is well maintained and well run. Most of the complaints people have about the two parks are fairly minor in the grand cosmic scheme of things. Honestly, given what they charge, I don't even think Disney really makes all that much money from the parks -- they make a lot more money from the overall Disney brand, selling old movies on VHS and again on DVD and again on Blu-Ray, and that sort of thing. It wouldn't surprise me at all if in the higher ups, the parks are looked at as a bit of a self sustaining advertisement for all things Disney, not as a money maker.

So, given the overall situation, it's doubly rude and wrong to try to circumvent the system. The outcome would either be A) less money for the parks so crappier parks or B) price hikes for everyone. Disney chose B, price hikes and elimination of pre purchase for tickets longer than five days. The latter is a major source of uncertainty for some people who travel to DLR not knowing if they'll have trouble getting days added or not.
 
Any one going in the next couple of weeks...we all need an honest answer about adding on days...

We have a 9 day trip planned (Grand Californian DVC) in oct and I have been thinking about buying a Deluxe annual pass since I couldn't buy a 8 day pass...

I don't really seeing us leaving the property except for a trip to legoland...

Let's check this out...
 
Yes. I have a 6-day hopper and hope to get it bumped up to 8 days which I believe is the max. I'll report back and I'm sure others will in this or other threads. Every week or so it seems someone reports their success story so I'm not too worried. The only difference is a) I have a 6-day and you'd be buying a 5-day looking to add three days, and b) you actually need those extra days and I don't. The later would drive me crazy since it's this weird unwritten policy. Your best bet may be to wait until Sept. or Oct. to buy your tickets and follow the boards to confirm people are still successful in adding days.
