Confirmed: Prices for Tickets and Passes going up on 2/11/2018

[starshine514]

My AP is up for renewal. If I renew now, but it's not valid until 3/1, will I have to pay the difference if the price increases?

Not if you renew before the price increase.

No. You pay the going price at the time you actually renew your pass and you don’t have to pay any increase as your pass is already renewed when the new prices are released.

What is LMT?

Last Minute Travel - it's a website that is an authorized ticket reseller.

Remember that her ticket will retain its original value even if she can't use it before the expiration date. When she does use it, she will only pay the difference if there has been a price increase in the meantime.

It would be my ticket. She's tentatively going as a school chaperone but won't know for sure if she is until 3/1. If she goes, I'm going on my own to visit family and will join her on the park days.

I know that the value of a Disneyland ticket lasts past its expiration date. But I'd be getting a voucher from LMTClub. I know that the vouchers are supposedly Disney vouchers, LMT just acts as a 'middleman' and provides for a discount. I just don't know if Disney would honor that voucher after the expiration date the same as it would a ticket or a voucher purchased directly from Disney.

Thanks!

I was told by DL that if you purchase a 'value day' ticket and go on a higher tiered day you will have to pay the price difference.

I have added park tickets to our Room Only reservation to lock in the current price for a trip at the end of Feb first of March.

I was thinking that may be the case. Wasn't sure if that held true if they bought in advance at a current value day price and then tried to go after the price hike (also a value day). Didn't want them to have to pay the difference at the ticket booth since they only have one day. I think I'll call to clarify for them.

So does anyone know if this will affect the Canadian residents deal that's on until the end of February? Will the price for those tickets also go up on Sunday?

 

[OneTrackMind]

They had the Canadian resident promotion last year as well. When the ticket prices increased in early February the Canadian resident discount price did not change. Of course that was last year and there's no guarantee they won't do things a different way this year!

Can you pre purchase max pass?

 

[LaVon]

Can you pre purchase max pass?

Only if youre buying tickets alone. SO Like we booked a vacation (room and tickets) and I Cant pre-purchase maxpass for some reason. I have to wait until I go through the ticket booth before I can purchase it..

 

[Mamato4boys]

Can you pre purchase max pass?

Only if you buy directly from Disney and purchase it for all days of your ticket, if I understand correctly.

 

[ej119]

Never happy to see ticket prices go up, but I just purchased tickets and MaxPass for our March trip a few days ago.

 

[OneTrackMind]

Can you pre purchase max pass?

And others have reported that you can’t prepurchase MaxPass with the Canadian resident deal. I haven’t tried so don't personally know.

If you are within your 40 day renewal window, you will not be affected if a price increase occurs before your expiration date. You will be allowed to renew at the old price since you were within your renewal window. This has been true for people who renewed when the prices increased in the past.

ETA: 2/7/18
Someone farther down in this thread did call Disney to ask about this and was told that if there is a price increase during your renewal window period, you will have to pay the increased price if you renew after the increase. If this is accurate information, then this is a new policy and completely different from what people reported last year. If someone experiences this new policy change this year, please report here.

 

[sherilaine]

This is true, the option to add MP is not provided online when booking the Canadian deal. That is fair though as it’s an amazing deal so I won’t complain.

Oh you don't know how happy you just made me! This means I do not have to make a decision on what type of AP to renew to until the end of the month. I need more time because I can't decide!

Wait, I hope this applies to upgrade renewals, because I might upgrade my pass to Signature.

Call the AP Hotline to ask them about this specific question. And also ask how upgrading will affect your renewal discount. It can't hurt to make sure before the weekend.

I did not even know there was an AP hotline. Thank you so much!
