mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Most of the time Undercover Tourist through the Mousesavers link has the 4 or 5 day tickets with an extra day free, so don't see what the big deal is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just sharing the info. Not everyone trusts going through Mousesavers for whatever reason. Also this is only valid through June. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Out of curiosity, what does a four day Magic Your Way pass cost? What does a five day Magic Your Way cost? ETA- I found this nifty chart Mo posted on another thread: Here's the full chart for single and multi-day tickets... So, I lay out all that money, for six tickets and I save 60 bucks? How much would that have cost me before this week's price increase? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD Probably pretty close to the same amount. I imagine their price breaks stayed pretty equal between days. I dont have the before pricing handy though to check that.

TCD A lot of the trips I book tend to be for family groups. Sometimes Grandma and Grandpa are going along. 6 is not an out there number especially at the Fort. But again. Just sharing the info.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 and we do appreciate it Jason!! However, as most of us know, there is "usually" a better deal out there somewhere, than some of the "so called" specials direct from Disney.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 For comparison... Great job, Mo. So, in 2012, I could have bought a 5 day MYW ticket for $268. And up until, last week, I could have bought a 5 day MYW ticket for $289 Under the "special," I can buy six or more four day MYW passes for $294 each, but then get a "free" day. That same pass would have cost just $289 before this week's price increase. Disney wins. Again. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 What makes getting taken out by strollers and dealing with crying, puking snotty nosed kids worth an extra 5 bucks at the MK? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate that you posted this- I hadn't heard about it. I just wanted to see if it really was any kind of a deal. It's not. TCD But the reality is that a lot of people are going to see the word "deal" and think it is. I'm always surprised at how many people don't crunch the numbers. Or maybe I'm not. It's like when a store marks something with that red "clearance" tag that you can get elsewhere for less, or is total junk, or both. And on a personal note about the latest price increase, I'm really really glad I bought 8-day non-expiration parkhoppers + fun visits from Undercover Tourist right before the price increase last June. Now my investment is worth even more. And it's looking likely they will be the last Disney tickets I buy and when they are gone we are gone, unless there are some actual deals at some point in the future.

When I crunch the numbers, the minimum savings is about $60.And if I opt for Park Hopping or non-expiring, the savings is in the hundreds for a family of six.Why is that not a deal?

Where are you getting an option to add discounted park hopping and non-expiring? The offer says that the tickets are only good for one park a day and expire 14 days after first use: Your $60 figure is correct based on the current prices being charged. But this just adjusts the price back to a number just slightly higher than what the charge was before the price hikes implemented earlier this week. And does the family really save $60? They stay an extra day, whether on-site or off. That costs money. And they have another day to spend $$ on food and drinks in the parks (but just one park-no hopping).

Lou... 3,118 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Where are you getting an option to add discounted park hopping and non-expiring? Missed that. Your $60 figure is correct based on the current prices being charged. But this just adjusts the price back to a number just slightly higher than what the charge was before the price hikes implemented earlier this week. The offer is based on the new prices, not what they were last week, or last year, so shouldn't that be what the savings be judged on?IE, this is what you pay now without the offer, and this is what you pay now with the offer, you save $60. And does the family really save $60? They stay an extra day, whether on-site or off. That costs money. And they have another day to spend $$ on food and drinks in the parks (but just one park-no hopping). Granted, the extra day will cost them, but no matter how you cut it, they still save $60 on the tickets.That's all Disney is offering. They're not offering a free resort stay, food, just a free day in the park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're not offering a free resort stay, food, just a free day in the park. So, going back to your earlier question- "how is that not a deal?" A family of six must spend $1754 on tickets alone to "save" a grand total of $60, which is based on the "free" day. But that day isn't free- they're going to have to spend the night somewhere and eat something. I guess $60 is $60, but hardly anything to get excited about. Sixty bucks won't even buy a family of six a complete meal at a Disney quick serve restaurant. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
