Recommended Posts

as expected... shame they went up but at the same time it's nice to know there are some things you can still count on...

death, taxes, ticket increases... yup, that'd be the big three alright. :clint:

better make the call Mo!

Warming up the phone now....

Actually, if I have this figured right, it looks like when you factor in the tax, APs are going up by about $60?

Current price (with tax) $552.74

New price (with tax) $611.31

So if we buy the 6 day WP+ NonExp through Undercover Tourist this weekend before prices go up, and do the snazzy upgrade trick when we get there in November, it should save us about $90 per ticket (ish).

Oh Ticket Guru (aka Carol)... does that sound right?

Oh and here's Carol's excellent step-by-step instructions for playing the ticket game...

We have annual passes. The best discount you can get for Annual Passes is through Undercover Tourist.

First off, go to Mousesavers.com and sign up for their monthly newsletter. You will receive the newsletter on the 15th of each month.

In that newsletter is a link for special pricing through Undercover Tourist.

Through that link, purchase the most expensive Magic Your Way Ticket, that is still less cost than an annual pass.

When you get to Disney, use that pass in a turnstyle by entering a park.

Once you do that, then go to a ticket window outside the park and tell them you want to upgrade that ticket to an annual pass. They will then do some computing, and you will only pay the difference between the GATE cost of that ticket, and the cost of the annual pass. (Usually only a few dollars). Therefore, you keep the discount you paid through Undercover Tourist.

There are no other discounts on Annual Passes unless you can purchase them through the military.

For example, including tax an Annual Pass is $552.74 including tax.

The 6-day Park Hopper, Water Park and More, No Expiration through the special link at Undercover Tourist is $505.95 which is a $25 discount off of the normal gate price.

Once you use that ticket in a park, then that ticket automatically gains the face value of $530.95, therefore you will pay an additional 21.79 towards your annual pass, making the effective price of your annual pass $527.74.

If you are getting a Premium Annual Pass, you can get even more savings as the bigger the MYW ticket you buy, the bigger the savings, but the GATE price of the ticket you buy has to be less than the price of an annual pass, because they will not refund any money.

OK, just did some figuring. It looks like now you need to buy the 7-day PH, non expiring WPF&M from Mousesavers for $542.90. Once the ticket increase goes into effect, that ticket will then become worth $593.21, then use it in a turnstyle, then pay an additional $18.10 at the gate for your annual pass. So you will be paying at total of $561 for a regular annual pass. That is a savings of $50.31

For those that may be interested in a Premium Annual Pass, then you need to get the 10-day nonexpiring hopper with water park fun & more from Mousesavers at the current price of $623.95. That ticket instantly becomes worth $715.68. You would then pay and additional $28.76 after using it in a turnstyle to make it a premium annual pass. Therefore you would only be paying $652.71. That is a savings of $91.73 for a Premium Annual Pass.

We actually got a premium for Rick, cause he enjoys shopping at Disney and the 20% discount for purchases vs. 10% for a regular AP pays for the difference for us.

Just an fyi - not sure how long Undercover Tourist will hold the old pricing, but I AllEars has announced that Maple Leaf Tickets (also an authorized reseller) will be honoring the current ticket prices into next week sometime.

If you order through the AllEars Special Discount Page, you get pricing comparable to UT - I think it's maybe $1-2 more because they charge for shipping.

And just an FYI, the reason we don't post the direct link to the Undercover Tourist Mousesavers discount page is because Mousesavers has asked subscribers NOT to post the link on an open forum. The ONLY way you can get the special Mousesavers Undercover Tourist pricing is to subscribe to their monthly newsletter and get the link from there. The link DOES NOT change month to month, so if you no longer want the newsletter, just save the UT link to your favorites and then unsubscribe from the newsletter.
