I am looking at tickets for a trip that covers late August/early September (first WDW trip since 2017). A couple of weeks ago I checked
ticket prices for specific dates, and made some notes. At the time, I determined that buying directly from WDW using discounted GC's from Target was slightly cheaper than buying from UCT. I also verified this again about a week ago.
Then today I looked again at the prices for our dates, and the I swear that the WDW direct price has increased slightly. This is annoying b/c now I am not sure if I am fully understanding these tickets or not. The dollar amounts are small when considered in terms of what we are spending on this trip (about a $36 swing total), but of course I don't want to overpay unnecessarily.
I could have even made a mistake earlier in the process. who knows?
My main concern is determining if, despite assurances to the contrary, WDW is actually tweaking ticket prices or not.
