Whoa, that's $513.33 per day for a family of 4. Blows my mind. Is that todays price with or without tax?Yeahhhh glad we got our March tickets during the Undercover Tourists black friday sale. 2 adult and 2 child 6 day park hoppers for mid march were $2667. Today through disney they are $3,080.
If you get them through UT there is no sales tax. You save a little getting there then through Disney direct and they are an authorized reseller. I couldn't remember how much I saved by buying PHs last night so hopped on their website to plug in the same dates/ticket types and evidently they are still selling at the old price. It shows a $170 saving for a 6 day PH mid-April.Whoa, that's $513.33 per day for a family of 4. Blows my mind. Is that todays price with or without tax?
To clarify, there is sales tax (UT isn't exempt from it, like military travel offices are), it's just that UT includes it in their posted prices.If you get them through UT there is no sales tax.

This is why we stayed off-site last trip and will for this one as well. And honestly, the only reason it works for us is we can drive to Disney World. We looked at doing Disneyland next year but pile on airfare for a family of 5 (with lodging/tickets/food) and yeah, the total price is intense.We're a day late on this but pricing through UT shows around $2k for 6 day WDW pass and 3 day Universal (both hoppers -- 7 day trip just adding on a day to each for check out day flexibility at both spots). This is for 2 adults. We do really well financially and it still stings to see this. I simply don't know how you folks with kids afford this stuff... $2k before you even factor in getting to Orlando, lodging, food, etc. Insanity.
Oh and as an edit... this is before factoring in the optional Genie+ and ILL decision.
Yes, I'm replying to myself. If you add in G+ and ILL, that'll bring it up to almost $700 per day for a family of 4. That's without hotel and food.Whoa, that's $513.33 per day for a family of 4. Blows my mind. Is that todays price with or without tax?
I believe you cannot have a mix of tickets on 1 reservation. Either ALL single-park, or ALL park-hopper.So I have two questions: They are debating somewhere between 4-6 days for park passes. If they buy the park pass now for 4 days and decide to add 1-2 more days when we’re there in March, will they just be charged the additional amount that is showing today (assuming there are no additional price increases before then)? Also, same question with park hopper. What if they go to Magic Kingdom only the first 2 to 3 days and then want to add park hopper for the next two or three days. Is that possible? I do realize they could run into troubles with park reservations if they wait.
Many thanks!
I’m assuming they have a room-only or DVC resort reservation and are buying tickets separately and this is not a room+tickets package.So I have two questions: They are debating somewhere between 4-6 days for park passes.

Thanks. Yes, sorry if I wasn’t clear. We are staying on DVC pts, so tickets only. So if they’re not sure how many days they’re going to use, but are pretty sure they’re going to want Park hopping on a few of those days they should at least purchase the minimum number of days (say 4) with the park hopper option. Then they could add 1-2 more days of entry when they’re down there (assuming of course park reservations are not full for the parks they want). I hate park reservations so much. I wish they would just get rid of it!I’m assuming they have a room-only or DVC resort reservation and are buying tickets separately and this is not a room+tickets package.
If they continue to do as they have in the past, when adding days to a ticket, Disney simply charges the difference between the ticket you have and the current cost of the ticket you want.
If adding park hopping, the cost is the same whether it’s added before the ticket is used or part way through the ticket’s use. IOW, if adding hopping to a 4-day ticket, the price is the same whether it’s added on day 1 or day 4 of use.
Yes, I think that buying the known number of hopper days now is reasonable. They should probably keep an eye on park pass availability for the potential additional days, in case they need to make a decision sooner rather than later about adding them.Thanks.
