I did realize that we are not supposed to share the Mousesavers newsletter,however, I thought that it would be ok to publish the ad. Sorry.

I think we agreed to not post this info publicly when we signed up for Mousesavers letters. You might want to edit.

What's weird - is that I was checking prices on that website last night - I have it all written down in front of me - and the price I had for a 7 day hopper pass was CHEAPER than that link - and it was just from going directly to the site - not using a Mousesavers link (so please don't reprimand me).

What I had written down for a 7 day MYW hopper (no water parks and it DOES expire) - adults $235 - Kids $198.

This was JUST LAST NIGHT!

Undercovertourist has raised prices at least two different times this afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[polkadotladybug]

For the record - unless I'm missing something - that link leads directly to their regular prices - I must be missing something about a MS discount (I went to link above and then just went to the main website and entered that way so I wasn't using any sort of "special secret link") - Prices are the same - at least for the 7 day MYW Hopper. That went up $5 bucks per adult and $2 per child ticket.

THANK YOU - I thought I was going crazy! Last night - I wrote down prices including Disney's Gate prices, their advance ticket prices, the Ticketmania with MS discount and the Undercover tourist site (not using any special link - just their direct site).

It looks like Undercovertourist is just taking advantage of Mary's "plug" on their behalf!!!

Their prices are NOT the same as they were charging this AM!!!!!!!!!

 

[polkadotladybug]

I think it's totally slimey of them to hike the rates, then get Mary to email all her subscribers to get them to fall for the "new" higher rates......UGH!

Susie - just saw you are in Charleston too LOL! I'm in Hanahan actually!

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought mine at the cheaper rate on 1/1/06, but I do think what they are doing is WRONG.
Either they have 2005 tickets to sell at 2005 prices, or if they are out of them, then do what TicketMania did and just say so!!!!!!!!!

 

[Carrie Ellis]

I had done the same...wrote down the prices. I think they must have increased the prices today. Although they are not a special price for mousesavers they still are alot cheaper than Disney's new prices. I don't quiet get it though. Why they are saying "2005" prices but they are not. I had written down $348 adult and $311 child for a MYW 10 day magic plus, no hopping, no expiration. They are listed now as $355 and $320.

Question: Do you think that these tickets would have 6 plus options? The 2006 MYW 10 day magic plusses have 6 option according to the most recent prices for WDW. So, would the ones you buy from undercover tourist have 6 options?

Ugh...I just bought 3 MYW 5 day tickets from undercovertourist.com before I read this thread. I did however save 38.82 from what WDW wanted to charge me. Oh well, any savings is better then no savings.

Actually it was the other way around -- I sent the e-mail and then they bumped up their prices. I'm not happy about it. It didn't occur to me they would even think of doing that. However, the prices still beat Disney by quite a bit.

By the way, the "special" link does not provide any extra discount -- it just tracks how many sales came from the hot deals e-mail.

...and it did say that quantities were limited. Perhaps they did not know they'd get so many people buying them up today. If that's the case, they must not know how many of us LOVE MouseSavers.

Dear Disboard and Mouse saver users.

First all let us apologize for the confusion we created regarding our 2005 prices for Disney. We understand it resulted in questions regarding our integrity and caused problems for Mary and her mousesavers newsletter.

In December we deliberately increased our STOCK of 2005 Disney Tickets - in order to offer you the lowest prices (if we pay 2005 prices we can PASS the savings onto you, rather than increase our profit margins).

In December and January we always expereince an increase in demand which we planned for, however Mary kindly offered to mention us too, this resulted in our stock of tickets being depleted at a faster rate than we expected.

We raised the prices to cover new costs (acquiring the cash flow to fulfill millions of dollars of orders does not come cheaply) and to SLOW demand (still offering huge savings over regular 2006 prices).

This enabled us to continue offering great prices and be able to fulfill existing orders. The only other choice was to remove all tickets completely. We in fact had to do this temporarily yesterday to give us time to ensure supply could meet demand.

We were not trying to make excessive profits, purely control demand and meet new costs associated with cash flow.

Even the increase prices were below the 2005 gate and similar to what most "discount" websites offered in 2005.

In addition Undercovertourist and the link from Mousesavers lead to same price. The confusion caused by us was not mousesavers fault, we failed to
tell mousesavers about the price increases, we meant to, we messed up.

At these prices we are able to meet all demand - we do require 5 EXTRA business days than normal to ship. We anticipate our stock will last until January 10th.
