Yet Another MYW ticket option needed

[fardwarker]

I'm going on the Disney Cruise in Sept and spending a week after at DVC. Some family members from the cruise will also be staying the weekend with us. That makes a quick trip to the parks one day quite tempting. Even though I have several 10 day tickets for my family, I'm hesitant to share them with my guests for 1 day, but making them buy their own ticket seems kind of harsh at $70 for 1 day non-hopping, or $300-400 for a non-expiring ticket that they could reuse someday - if they ever go again and don't lose it. I'd happily share 1 day of my 10 with them for nothing, but I'd hate to have that lock the other 9 days to them forever.

MYW needs a guest option that lets you bring a guest to disney, without paying double or triple rates on that ticket. I could stock up on 10 day plus/hopper/non-expiring/guest tickets, and take different people each year on my DVC trip.

I'd happily pay a bit more for the ticket to know that we won't be denied entry at the turnstiles, or forced to buy single day tickets for a couple of guests and none of us get to park-hop.

Disney is rewarding those people that buy more days. Why should they cut a break to someone that is only coming for a day?

I understand where you are coming from but I think it is a fair system the way it is.

Are these family members immediate family members or relatives?

Did you invite them or are you just letting them stay with you?

If they are just staying with you they should (with assistance from you or from the link below) choose what kind of admission they want to buy themselves and meet up with you in the parks every now and then, or (everybody?) (to protest the lack of guest tickets as you desribed?) do something else (Universal?).

It is not cost effective to commence using a 10 day non-expiring ticket for a single day vacation unless the remaining 9 days will completely span two more vacations. So everyone may be in the same dilemma of buying one day tickets.
