More and more reviews and info is coming out about SWGE. Visit the SWGE subforum for all of that and more!

Can you link that subforum please?

Also, I just noticed quotes don't save for future use, or at least not that I know of. I quoted you rteetz, went to the Rumors and News homepage, came back into this thread and noticed the "Insert Quotes" button in he bottom left was gone, which meant I had to requote you. Maybe something to add to future updates.
 
It will be interesting to see if GE allows Disneyland to pass Magic Kingdom. And I wonder how big of a boost DHS will get. If Pandora gave AK a 10% boost in it's first full year, what is the ceiling for DHS?

I also find it interesting how much lower DCA is than DL, given that they are right next to each other. Not nearly as much to do in DCA, but I think I spent just as much time over there re-riding Guardians, RSR, and Incredicoaster. Easily my 3 of my 4 favorites.

Alright, had some time and love my spreadsheets, so tried to predict the attendance at the 6 stateside Disney Parks over the next few years

Kept it simple and assumed a 2% just natural increase to each park each year. I don't know of any major addition to other parks until 2020 (though I assume like Rat or something might open in 2020, but didn't contemplate that for now)

I put the impact for a full year of GE at 2x that of Pandora to AK for Disneyland and 1.75x at DHS (since getting is 2nd) and put the % of that increase being seen in 2019 as the % of months GE is open and then the remainder of the impact being seen in 2020.

basted on this it would put Disneyland still behind Magic Kingdom in 2020 - but very, very close. Now, but 2021 with the 50th anniversary and Tron opening and stuff I expect Magic Kingdom would then expand their lead.

Go to the theme parks attractions and strategies board and it’s right at the top.
 


That mug!!! Finally, I've been waiting for a new mug, I haven't bought one in a while because I have too many. I'll have to break something...

I'm a sucker for mugs too. I like that except for the square top to the mug. I find square mugs much more difficult to drink from. I know it's supposed to be the same shape as the gondola, but I feel like they could have rounded off just the top of it, maybe?
 
no, it is 6 passes - so can be 6 days and not really hopper (or if you "hop" you are using up 2 of the passes) - so really 6 entrances that can be used over as few or many days as you want (within the time frame of June 4th to Aug 28th)

I guess I misread it initially. I first read it to say that you get 6 admissions: 1 to each of the four parks (so 4 park admissions) + 1 to each water park (2 water park admissions) for the 6 total, I didn't read it the first time as 6 admissions to any of those 6 (parks + water parks) and being able to repeat them. That's why I thought it was essentially a lesser Park Hopper+ (which on a 4-day, would actually give you 8 admissions if you counted 4 theme park admissions + 4 water park admissions).

yeah, it's definitely less that the full on Park Hopper Plus with access to the waterparks - but also I think gives you a longer timeframe to use up your tickets so I think something great for locals that don't have an AP or for people that vacation to Florida for the summer (but not specifically for Disney)
 
Ok, reading the BlogMickey post with the "fine" print:

"Ticket valid 6/4/19 – 8/28/19 for one admission to Magic Kingdom® Park, one admission to Epcot®, one admission to Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, one admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, one admission to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, and one admission to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park. Each park may be visited only once. Tickets are nonrefundable, nontransferable and exclude activities/events separately priced. Admission is subject to capacity closures and other restrictions. Water parks are subject to rehabilitation, seasonal and weather closures. After expiration date, the price paid for a wholly unused ticket can be applied to the purchase of a new ticket with an equal or higher price."

So it does not allow more than one visit to each park, so it is essentially a 4-day One-Park-Per-Day ticket, except with 2 added Water Park days and the benefit of using two entrances in a day to two different parks (except using them up), and the benefit of a much longer expiration period. So you're right, it's good for locals. It's about the same price or a bit more, depending on when you choose, than a straight 4-day no hopper. So it's a benefit for those who want to do the water parks but don't want to spend $70-$100 more to add on the Park Hopper+.

I read this as:

1 visit to MK
1 visit to Epcot
1 visit to DHS
1 visit to AK
1 visit to BB
1 visit to TL

Are others interpreting it differently?

That is exactly how I see it ... and you can use those tickets/visits over as many or as few days as you want within the overall time from

So you can go to MK and EPCOT in the same day, but that uses up 2 of your 6 visits
 
I remember them releasing these types of tickets in the past (last year maybe even the year before).

IIRC there were people who didn't realize the restrictions--as in they wanted to go back to a park they had already been but didn't realize the tickets were 1 vist period to each park.

As with all tickets people should be looking at what is best for them but this is not the type of ticket for someone who wants repeat visits to the same park which is something you can do with normal 1 park per day tickets (as there is no restriction on repeat visits) so in other words be very careful to research if this type of ticket works for you.

Wow. Pretty flexible ticket. Personally I've always like the flexibility when it comes to a WDW ticket and makes a ticket like this pretty appealing when the alternative is the date-based tickets/pricing.

If I didn't have passes already and wanted to go during the summer, I could see snagging this ticket. Even if you only went 4 days and skipped the water parks, it is still a good deal. DOesn't a normal 4-day non-hopper ticket cost about the same?

Just odd they basically give you a hopper, without technically giving you a hopper. I wonder if they would ever stop selling park hoppers to do this. (Make you essentially eat up another ticket if you wanted to go to a different park). I would think that would help crowd control by forcing people to stay in a given park on a given day.

I guess this is the 'bonus' of date-based pricing-- they can offer flexible tickets like this and make it seem extra special. For those who say Disney world is not affordable, when they offer family-friendly deals like this -- it is pretty cool.
 
Alright, had some time and love my spreadsheets, so tried to predict the attendance at the 6 stateside Disney Parks over the next few years

Awesome. Thanks for doing that! I have a feeling we'll see a bigger than normal increase for the other parks as spillover from GE. I can also see the DHS increase being bigger than DL percentage wise just because it already has a significantly smaller attendance.

So 1 question, does this mean a break mid-day to go back to the hotel would then mean you can't go back to the same park after the swim/nap?

The main difference though is a regular 4-day 1 park per day allows multiple visits to the same park.

Someone could get a 4-day 1-park per day and go to MK twice (MK one day and MK another day). Under this ticket deal you cannot do that. It is literally 1 visit per park.

You should be able to go back to the same park (it would be treated like a single day/single park admission which allows that) just if you go to a different park that will use up a 2nd admission

Are we sure about that? Regular single day/single park admissions allow you to leave and come back to same park so I would have thought these operate the same
