You would need to purchase the ticket that covers the higher priced days. At least that was the information that was provided when the survey regarding tiered tickets was circulated.
I wonder what happens if you have to cancel or reschedule your trip? You're purchasing a ticket for a specific day or time frame so if you don't use it, are you just out of the cash or can you apply the value of the ticket towards the purchase of a future trip? You'll soon need to degree in accounting to figure all of this out.
Where'd you see that? I haven't seen anything yet. I checked Twitter too.

Actually they didn't. What they posted is the gate price. Buying at the gate it $20 more than buying in advance online. Disney started doing that last year.Looks like Blog Mickey got the prices wrong...going up but not quite as bad as they said for the longer park tickets - but pretty bad.
They've been popular so far. Disney must feel they can get away with this.Thanks for checking!
I like how it promotes that "this is a good deal" - as if there is ever any variance in the price

The Minnie vans are also good if you have more than one child that needs a car seat. That's not an option with regular Uber and Lyft.definitely - I know originally there was a lot of chatter about "why would anyone do this if Uber is 1/2 the price?" but then lately I have seen a few reports of people trying to request one and there not being any available - so clearly this is a supply vs demand move - and just another illustration of how people at Disney don't always value things the same way they do outside of Disney (not saying right or wrong, but clearly impacts Disney's thinking)

This is not good for those that don't want to pay $40 per hour per person to be in the theme parks. It likely means shorter standard hours and probably continued degradation of the EMH benefit.

Good read about all the SEA connections at Disney properties.

We only went once, and our kids were fairly young....we were very confused by the different "skits" - they would suddenly start up in different rooms, and while it was all really fun and interesting, we didn't understand enough of what was going on. It mostly was like they all seemed to be a bunch of regulars at a "club" who were telling stories about their adventures - kind of like the old movie scenes like Casablanca....and the rest of the "guests" were just in there listening to their tales....Oh how I wish I could have gone to the Adventurers’ Club!!! Are there any books or comics on it?

The place I miss even more than Adventurer's Club is the Comedy Warehouse - all improv stuff, and the audience participated by shouting out stuff... a bit "adult" sometimes, but usually pretty family oriented. My young daughter (I think she was only about 10 or 12 at the time) was selected to participate, and it was hilarious!
