My disappointment in the Expo tickets continues. My complaint is that the tickets don't start until Monday August 19th. We are flying in on Saturday the 17th. Our plan was 4 days of park time (18th through 21st) and then take the 22nd off. On the 22nd we are transferring to a hotel closer to the convention center from a hotel close to DLR. I want a day to relax before the craziness of the convention. Then I was going to hold onto the 5th day of the tickets in case they give out some special park event to attendees at the parks panel. (My #1 thing is to see the parks panel.) If they don't give anything out, we'll go to the park for a few hours on Sunday afternoon/evening before we fly out on Monday.
So, of course the
discount tickets don't work with these plans! I was trying to decide what a "Break even" on throwing our plans out the window are and I was always thinking around $75 I would consider it. The 5 day tickets give us a $55 per ticket discount on a 5-day ticket (plus tax). In addition, it appears the discount ticket does not include a magic morning. Since we are coming from the east coast, I think having that Magic Morning is a wonderful perk as it easy to get up for an early entry - easily a $30 or $40 value in itself. So I'm leaning towards buying the non-discount ticket.
