Disney Ticket Increases

[thistle1314]

I got a letter this morning from MYTRAVEL letting me know that as of January 2005 the Disney tickets are expected to rise by £15.00 per person. I didn't want to buy mines from Omar until after January - wanted to get Christmas / New bills out of the way first and we're not going until July next year. Have you any advise on this. Will Omar up his prices too - I suppose he may have too. Thanks. :unsure: :sigh:

[marivigi]

:eek: really??? :eek:


Oh no!!!....

We wont be going until october next year....

Is it possible to buy an annual pass NOW and not "change the voucher" until october?

[Dopey77]

yes yes yes!!!! that's exactly what we did for our April trip! In December, we bought our AP's at the Disney store and didn't "cash them in" until we got to the park in April and our passes were good for a year from that point. As long as you have the voucher, you are fine. They say you should keep the receipt to be on the safe side though.

[JuniorMickey]

Mari, with an AP, unless you buy it at the parks, the clock doesn't start ticking until the first time you use it :D

[Mickeymac]

Thistle,

Your best bet is to check with Omar. He may be able to purchase enough advance stock to keep him going for a while, but his contract might stipulate that he has to increase when Disney does too.

Disney has also recently increased the Disneyland pricing, too.

[marivigi]

Al right!

thanks very much

Now.. how do I go about buying an AP from Mexico??? :confused:

[Whitequeen]

Probably have to call them, Mari. :thumbs:

[marivigi]

Ok!

thank you Queenie!

Will try.... :wacko:

[JuniorMickey]

If you call you shouldn't have a problem Mari :D

[thistle1314]

Mickeymac, I'll drop Omar a note and see what he says. Thanks. :) I cant buy an annual pass cos we're going next year but I dont know if we're going to go back in 2006. We normally go every second year.

[Mickeymac]

He's pretty quick to respond. Also bear in mind that if your length of stay would benefit from an Annual Pass, don't be concerned with the term 'annual' and get one anyways. It's a really neat way to do the parks.

[thistle1314]

Mickeymac, I'll look into that too. The thing is we're staying off site (villa) but I was under the impression that you had to be a Disney resort guest to get an annual pass. Can you clarify that for me please. :)

[JuniorMickey]

Nope :) You can stay on the moon and have an annual pass

[thistle1314]

JuniorMickey - many thanks. :thumbs: Need to do some detective work. I've written a note to Omar about the price increases so I'll keep you all posted on his reply.

We have that great offer he did last year which was 5 Day Hopper pass with 4 pluses. We have 2 plus days left so was going to go for the 4 Day Hopper only for next year but I'll have to look into the best option for us. :unsure:

[d_dreamer]

what is that in US dollars?

[dcfromva]

thistle1314,
Thanks for the heads up!

-DC :ears:

[thistle1314]

It equates roughly from £15.00 to $27.71.

[dcfromva]

Al right!

thanks very much

Now.. how do I go about buying an AP from Mexico??? :confused:

If you would prefer, you can order your Annual Pass voucher on-line, too.

Here is a link for you.

It equates roughly from £15.00 to $27.71. o, ok, thanks

[thistle1314]

Just heard back from Omar. He said that Disney will be increasing their tickets but they never announce in advance when this will be which makes me think that my travel agent is "at it". He also added that he'll be increasing his prices also - of course he has to.

If I would have thought this through I would have figured out that my travel agent was trying to get my business!! I called them and they're offering a 5 day hopper plus 2 days at £169.00 compared to Omar's for the same ticket it £143 which equates to roughly $263. Omar will be getting my business as usual. :thumbs:

[mom2my3kids]

WOW so each ticket will cost 27.71 more per day or per package?

Tammy :(

[uscwest]

That can't possibly be a per day price, thistle must be quoting the package.

[d_dreamer]

That can't possibly be a per day price, thistle must be quoting the package. that would be insaine.

[thistle1314]

Sorry folks, obviously I need to clarify. This is per package - not per day.

Dearie Me................ nearly keeled over myself there. :oops: :sorry:

[d_dreamer]

whew -_-;;; glad that was cleared

[mom2my3kids]

Thanks I guess I sounded Silly thinking it could of been per day ticket. But heck with everything going up in the world it would not of surprised me.. :whistle:


Tammy

[d_dreamer]

well you can never be to sure ;)

[Amandajsmom]

So, are all the hopper passes going up? If I'm going in February, should I buy my park passes now? and who is Omar, does he give good rates for US too? I see $202 for a 4 day hopper at Disney Store (in store), I think. or was it $220?

TIA for info!!

[Vikki]

Is there really no time limit on when you can 'activate' your AP? I think Mickeymac has just about convinced us to DIY things in 2006. So does this mean if I buy the AP now, it will still be ok for 2006?

Also ( I know it's hard to answer, but an educated guess perhaps), how often per year and when do AP prices rise? According to the website they're $499 for the premium one right now.

[JuniorMickey]

Yes Vikki, you can buy now and activate whenever you'd like :D

[Mickeymac]

Vikki, not that you need my opinion, but buy now. :D

[Vikki]

Vikki, not that you need my opinion, but buy now. :D

I don't know what makes you think that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have even considered the AP :D

[Mickeymac]

Yeah, but when I recommended it, I had the vague feeling that I was a pusher selling secrets to an addict. ;)

[Vikki]

I see what you mean now :D Still trying to convince Anthony, am sure I'll mamage it :D

[Mickeymac]

LOL - I've got tips for that, too, but I'd get banned for posting them publically. :evil:

[mrs disney]

Oooh great!!!! Youve answered my question on AP's....Planning on a family trip in May and then just me n DH in Sept (fingers crossed no hurricaines this time!!!) Big huge savings on the AP's cos well get to use em twice...fantasmic!!!

Am I right in saying the parking is free also when you have an AP???

PS Can you do Disney too often???? NAH??? Id go every week if I could.

[uscwest]

Yes, the parking is free with an AP, or if you stay on site.

[Vikki]

LOL - I've got tips for that, too, but I'd get banned for posting them publically. :evil:

I can imagine :whistle:

[The Blue Fairy]

Where can you buy the AP if you are from the UK? Can you buy it online?

[d_dreamer]

yeah, at maple leaf
