Old vs New Ticket Options

[cassy12]

Help!!! I am visiting in February 2005 and wanted advice on whether I should buy the old length of stay Ultimate Park Hopper ticket or the new ticket options that will be on sale for 2005.

It seems the old ticket prepaid would be $161 (adult) and $121 (child) for two nights and three days. The new tickets for the same period have a base price of $171 (adult) and $137 (child), with no hopping and no plus options. Am I reading this correctly?? Would it be better to buy the 2004 ticket options or wait for the 2005?? Would buying the 2004 option exclude me from the extra magic hours??

:welcome: to the UOG!

Hopefully Mickeymac or Cinderella will be along to help you with your ticket question. They're both Disney certified TA's and recently underwent training for the new options.

As far as the Extra Magic Hours, the only thing you need for those is to be staying onsite.

Here are what the prices are and will be

Current - Ultimate park hoppers - provide park hopping and admission into everything at Disney.

3 days/2 nights Adutl $171.48 / Child age 3-9 $137.40
these prices include tax

New Magic your way tickets
3 days Adult $182.11 / child age 3-9 $145.91
These include tax but are a base ticket allowing one park per day at 3 of the 4 major theme parks - no plus options, no park hopping

Based on these prices I would go with the current ultimate park hoppers. They can be added to your room and payable in full at that time. These can be added until the end of the year.

Thanks for the response Junior Mickey and Cinderalla. I will add the 2004 ticket options to my current reservation.
