h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Again!!!We typically go twice a year one year and once the next year. So we are just going to have to plan our trips so we can three trips on one AP. Hopefully APs don't go up this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yikes! It gets earlier every year. I'm glad we have APs already for this year's trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 If we buy an AP now... but don't use it until October (we don't have a trip planned until then), will it lock in the current price? I know we can buy standard tickets now to lock in the prices... but what about an AP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seems they increased last February if I remember right. I wonder if they will try and sneak another increase in towards the end of the year as well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seems they increased last February if I remember right. Yep! I was curious and dug back. For a while the increase was the first week in August2011 = June2012 = June2013 = June2014 = February Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim5055 120 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Well, this throws a wrench in our Disney plans. We generally buy 10 day hopper/non-expiring tickets to use over 3 or so trips. Our last trip used the last of our days on the tickets we had.Guess I have to buy them now and hold them......On edit***********I picked up 10 day non expiring hoppers at Undercover Tourist to have them.......

Will they not activate for my year until we use them the 1st time or will they start counting down now? I'd rather get them now and save the money if possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curious if Disney seems to stick to a standard increase (i.e. 5% every time they bump it up). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'd have to do a little digging, but if I recall correctly, I don't think it's been a standard increase across the boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will they not activate for my year until we use them the 1st time or will they start counting down now? I'd rather get them now and save the money if possible.Things may have changed since we got our seasonal pass maybe 4 years ago? We got ours when they added on an extra 3 or 4 months. We got vouchers to redeem at the park for the passes. When we went to purchase in them in December I did it over the phone and was told that we had to activate them by a certain date in January. I don't know it that was because of the extra months deal, or if that was a normal thing. I would call and ask them. In the same vein, I was going to purchase seasonal passes last night on line. When I got to the billing portion, it said I could only use 1 gift card towards the purchase price. We have 3 cards that we were going to use towards the down payment. I guess I'll be needing to call tonight and see if they can take more than 1 card over the phone. Can you get seasonal passes at Disney stores or AAA and use gift cards? Is there a place at Downtown Disney to get them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For a while the increase was the first week in August2011 = June2012 = June2013 = June2014 = February Was that the only increase last year or did they go up again August\September time frame? I know there was a good thread about the increase last year, might have even included some % info of the last couple years of increases. Maybe I could stop being lazy and dig a little myself :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Well I found the thread from last year, and it included a picture of the pricing that was changing but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I though someone had posted pricing sheets for the last few years and had it broke down as to how much each type of ticket had increased, but I guess I could be wrong.

Travisma 1,317 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 This info is from allears.net and may be old news to a lot of you. http://allears.net/tix/tixincrease.htm They have a breakdown of all the types of tickets, prices, and when the new prices took affect. It's broken down by decades. The change dates jump around a bit from June 2 in 2013 to February 23 in 2014. It's an interesting historical read. They list CM and Comp tickets and meal tickets also. Number of price increases by month since 1971 January - 4 May - 4 September - 4 February - 8 June - 11 October - 5 March - 5 July - 0 November - 3 April - 3 August - 5 December - 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Looking at the breakdown... I just realized that the price has almost doubled in the past 10 years :bugeyes: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think the increases have averaged about $5/year, depending on which ticket you're looking at, so that sounds about right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
