NEW TICKET PRICING

[paults]

I think I got this right. My UT tickets weeks ago cost me $464.23 each for 2 (5 day PH with extra day). That came too $928.46 total for 2.

On the Disney new pricing system for a 5 day PH X 2 is $1039.44 with tax and ( with NO EXTRA DAY) starting on Sunday April 28, 2019.

It would cost me $110.98 more for the 2 ticket and not have the extra day.

Anyone know if I did this wrong??

Also did the Gold DVC pass go up $21.30??

You need to compare to Disney's pricing for a 6 day ticket since that's the actual ticket you received from UT.

New Gold pass is $609 + tax= $648.59

Michael, there the cost at WDW is $1056.92 for 2 6 day PH cost me $128.46 Not $110.98

Bill if I upgrade to GOLD DVC pass, what price do I get from the passes I have now? Cost from UT was $928.46 for 2 and cost now from Disney is $1056.92. for 2. Do the use the first or second price

Can anyone answer this for me?

I purchased AP's for DW and me which we activated October 4. These were purchased under the previous discount and had to be activated by Dec 31,2018. I believe these are gold, but I'm not completely sure. We have two more trips planned within the year, one in April and one in June.

If we were to renew these as DVC members next October, what would that cost?

And your savings buy purchasing from UT increased by almost $18.

When you renew, you can select any level of annual pass that you are entitled to and pay the renewal rate that's in effect at the time of renewal.

The rates in effect as of today (10/16) are:

 

[bobbiwoz]

What percent tax? Is tax on the discounted price or non discounted price? We will renew our platinum plus passes in January.

 

[BillPA]

tax is on the price you pay, DVC Plat Plus Renewal= $721 tax is 6.5% = $767.87

Ok I bought 2 UT 6day hoppers 464.23 =928.46 To upgrade to 2 DVC Gold AP 648.59 =1297.18
So 1297.18 Minus 6 day cost now 1056.92 So 1297.18 -1056.92= 240.00 to upgrade now? Is that right or is my thinking confused.....

It hasn't been confirmed how upgrades will be handled. When Disney added an expiration date to MYW passes, they also changed price bridging for tickets purchased before the change. They may change it again with this pricing restructure.

Prior to today, those 6-day hoppers purchased from UT this year would get priced bridged to the current gate price before calculating the cost for upgrading. So, they would have been worth $511.20. The upgrade cost would have been $627.29 - $511.20 yesterday.

Yeah that’s what I had figured yesterday never figuring they would increase AP price again in one year. So trying to figure what I will have to pay to upgrade in 2 weeks.

I'm wondering whether the value applied to upgrades will be based on yesterday's gate price or the lowest 6-day price n 2019, or the gate price on the day the upgrade is done. I think it's all going to be a wait & see situation. Of course, none of that helps you today but maybe we'll have a few data points to go by before you leave.

 

[jo-jo]

I thought bridging was stopped last year. When we took our DS UT tickets and upgraded to an AP it wasn't bridged.

 

[BillPA]

Sounds like you had a CM that didn't know how to bridge, sorry you lost out on some cash.

 

[granmanh603]

Yes that is what I’m afraid of and want to be prepared before I go. I read different posts about it and thought I had it figured out about what it would cost now am confused again....want to know when to walk away if CM is clueless

Does anyone know how long tickets are good for now? It was 14 days before this new pricing, and many of us probably remember when tickets were good forever. For example, if I buy a 4 day ticket how long is it good for? And is the first day automatically the first day of your DVC resort reservation, or can it be the second or third day?

Looks like it varies based on the number of ticket days you purchase. Under the new system, you select from an online calendar the first date you intend to use the tickets. For a 4-day ticket, it appears as if you have 7 days to use that from the date you selected for first use.

 

[BillPA]

UT tickets still say 14 days, from Disney it varies based on the length of the ticket. Go to Disney's site and select ticket, play around with lenght and date to get the new prices and how long they are good for.
