Disney World AP price increase? [Answer: Yes]

[gharter]

Perfect, my renewal date is tomorrow.

Mine expire in 2 months, but I still need to renew before I can do my FPs.
Should have done last week when I thought about it.

Glad I already bought our tickets for this spring for DD and me. But this pretty much nixes my thoughts of a quick trip down late summer for ODS to see GE.

 

[sponica]

Ugh I should have upgraded my 4 day tickets to 5 day tickets the other day...

Is there anywhere to buy APs like last year (sams club)? Ours won’t need renewed until June. I was wondering if anywhere sells them at the old price still

I called UCT this morning. They are saying they have enough inventory to at least get through tomorrow.

I don't think the regular tickets have increased yet, just some of the add-ons. Do we think they're doing a slow roll out or are all these increases typically dropped at once?

Tickets at work if you have access.
I was able to grab 2 AP from there just now, thanks to DD's new job. Our existing AP renew in June. Even without the price increase today the total price from Tickets at Work was less than our rewewal, even when considering I have 2 day tickets to apply towards the renewal.
I also grabbed the needed Disneyland tickets

I miss being able to stockpile tickets.

Why can't you?
Other than cost limiting what you can buy, of course.

Expirations before you can use them?

Tickets expire at the end of the year. I have old UT PHs that expire in 2030. I wish I had bought more of them back in 2016.

geez.

Writing this date down and noting to buy April 2021 tickets as soon as I can before next increase! (if we are lucky and there are no more this year)

The last price increase was less than a year ago though so I wouldn't be surprised to see another one this year. I think they know a lot of people are targeting going in 2021 when more of the construction (Tron, Guardians, Rat, etc.) is done plus I am sure I am not the only one thinking of doing a "year of Disney" around the 50th celebration

So i am sure they want to increase prices as much as they can before then.

But February seems popular for price increases so might by our "year of Disney" APs before next Feb to get at least some savings

I’m pretty sure Dh’s new job has access to it so I’ll ask him. Thanks! I haven’t even looked at the price increase. Dh will probably not want to get them because we’ve had a lot of expenses lately and will continue with the baby coming but I know we’re planning to renew anyway

I'm hoping to buy as soon as April/May is available.

With the date-based pricing, it can be very hard to notice some changing in base tickets. However, a few folks have reported price increases, though whether that is just due to the Hopper option it's hard to say. But someone upthread noted a $300 increase for a party of 6, which would translate to more than just the increase for hopping (+$5). So I suspect there are at least some dates that increased in base price.

Enjoy your vacation!

What about FL resident APs? Why not go that route?

yeah, it looks like the minimum for a 1 day ticket and a maximum for a 1 day ticket (for example) stayed the same - but there could be all sorts of shifts for dates more than 1 day and also just what is the price on each individual day - maybe there are a lot less "cheapest" days and lots of days that "moved up a level" even if the levels themselves didn't change

 

[Skywise]

GAH - almost $1200 for a platinum pass?! That's roughly 6 days of tickets at their highest price. (for now!)

 

[SaintsManiac]

I'm seeing on Twitter that hoppers have gone up, just like what has been reported in this thread.

People say crowd control. Well if you want to spread people out increasing hopper tickets isn't the way to do it.

Tickets expire at the end of the year. I have old UT PHs that expire in 2030. I wish I had bought more of them back in 2016.

But the price you paid for the ticket is never lost. You'll always be able to apply that towards an updated, valid ticket. So while not "free" to use, it's a huge discount compared to new tickets.

My 8 day Park Hopper for Nov 8th went up about $60 per person. Grab UCT tickets to save over $110 off the gate now.
