He actually has some good points. If lower hotel prices and discounts can’t spread out the crowds into September and away from Christmas, are lower tickets really going to do the trick?
thanks for the information i will check those outBoardwalk Ticketing, Park Savers, Reserve Orlando, The Official Ticket Center
Based upon the posts in this thread, I would, especially during the time you will be traveling. Would guess you will save money by purchasing now, rather than waiting till October 16th new pricing.just wondering is it better to buy a multi day ticket now before the prices change
im looking o go next nov 2019 during the days before turkey day
However, if you add the taxes and fees, your final price is more than UT tickets. It's about $6 difference, though. We were pricing the 7 day Park-hoppers. Just so you know.There's a decent deal on Tickets At Work right now if you have access to that.

Agree, but for some reason, businesses feel that "itemizing" is better and Disney is going that route. Get people "hooked" emotionally with lower prices and just have them shrug off the extra fees after they are committed.I honestly feel this is going to have a psychological toll that Disney should have foreseen given the backlash against the parking fee.
When you itemize price hikes like this it makes people resentful & creates ill will towards the company. IE why do people who drive & subsidize ME in their hotel rate (we all know it’s not really free) also have to pay for parking. Why in the world do guests in cabins have to pay to park? It seems punitive.
There are people who simply can’t travel outside the school calendar for example. I have July & Aug, 1 wk in March, 2 wks at Christmas & some long weekends. I can’t change it, so that’s when we go.
Before, people like me figured we had to deal with crowds, but at least we weren’t paying more for the dubious privelege of being hot or crowded, or both.
I can’t think of anyone I know that doesn’t hate airlines for jacking up prices. The word gouging comes to mind. I have no airline loyalty whatsoever because I travel at peak times...
Not sure if this was Disney’s intention, but Josh is right, many who go during peak times simply cannot go during off periods. If Disney surpasses the price they can pay, they simply can’t go.
Yes, the way I see it the Flexible option is going to be useful to people who have longer trips than the standard use window on the ticket they purchase. It won't be something everyone needs. It's going to depend on your trip habits. I'm not sure why it's a confusing point actuallyIt's my understanding that the upcharge for flexible does just that -- extends the ticket to a 14-day use window regardless of how many park days are included. Without the upcharge for flexible, tickets have a use window of just 2-4 days longer than the ticket length. A 7-day ticket may have a use window of 10 days, by adding the "flexible" option that same 7-day ticket can be used within 14 days of first use instead of 10 days.
Lower ticket prices don't change when kids get out of school either. People locked to school breaks are locked to school breaks. They can't/aren't going to chase ticket prices. Great for those that can but that's not everyone by any means. I've said before, that it's not their primary focus with this change (despite what they claim) but it could work out to be a nice side benefit if there are enough that can chase ticket prices. No idea if there are or not. It takes a whole lot of guests to shift crowds. A few hundred won't make a dent in them. I know I wouldn't notice if there was a couple hundred fewer, or more, in a park on a given day. A few thousand sure.Yep
Lower ticket prices don't change the weather. I pulled my kid of out school for 4 days to go Labor Day week. I got an insane resort discount and flights were CHEAP. We had a great trip, but we would rather not ever go in September again.

can we upgrade TAW ticket to AP?There's a decent deal on Tickets At Work right now if you have access to that.
Thanks for the link. I think Josh is right. This new ticket complication is going to drive people to pick easier vacations, aka not Disney. The effects remain to be seen. If the US economy takes the predicted dive soon, Disney will be in serious trouble.Just read Josh’s take on this. Interesting and worth a quick read.

Absolutely, but the difference is I feel emotionally about Disney & when they make moves like this it stinks of betrayal whether that’s rational or not. I’m not emotionally invested in airlines etc, and as I said, not loyal either...Agree, but for some reason, businesses feel that "itemizing" is better and Disney is going that route. Get people "hooked" emotionally with lower prices and just have them shrug off the extra fees after they are committed.
Look at the airlines that charge $25 per bag for a service that is practically REQUIRED.
Look at "resort fees" that aren't optional.
Look at advertised prices for things like cable ... ($20/month -- oh wait .. plus DVR fee .. plus HD fee .. plus rental fee on the equipment .. plus taxes and fees .. that really turns into $40-50/month).
So Disney can market "prices as low as $XXXX/night" .. get you hooked emotionally and then when you start looking at when YOU want to go .. end up paying more because it is a "busy" time.
As someone who just looks at the bottom line, I don't understand this strategy .. I look at the total cost and decide if that is worth it or not.
Yes. TAW sells regular Disney tickets that can be upgraded.can we upgrade TAW ticket to AP?
And if we all remember, JC Penney tried the concept, in reverse, with merchandise sales.Agree, but for some reason, businesses feel that "itemizing" is better and Disney is going that route.

Ok, so after talking with the family, we are looking at maybe going the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before Columbus Day next year instead of the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Thanksgiving break. I was planning on going ahead and buying at least two tickets, but now I'm not so sure I should. Current pricing shows our first day as value, our second day as regular, and our third day as peak. Based on what I've read, if I wait I would pay the value price for every day since our first day is value. Could this really mean a cheaper price? I sure wish we could see prices before this rolls out.
