Thanks Orion! I knew I saw it somewhere!
I really wish they would give us at least an idea of pricing before bookings open up... I'm thinking Toy Story Hotel is going to be around $300, but have no idea how close that's really going to be!
So I've finally locked in my flights. Qantas had a great special, so I ditched my already booked reward flight on Cathay and got the Qantas ones! I fly out on the Wednesday morning, arriving early that evening (would have preferred an extra day as a buffer, but it was much more expensive - will just have to cross my fingers!). I'll go straight to the Disneyland area on Wednesday night, spend Opening Day there, Friday and then most of Saturday before heading home on the Saturday evening. I'll really have to consider whether I want to buy a ticket for that 3rd day - it's a lot of money for not even a full day in the park!
I'm a little bit disappointed that I won't get to see much of China, but really as long as I get to Opening Day I'll be happy
Just wondering what price did you pay for the Qantas special flights?
Have been looking up,flight...but have not found any specials.
Mine were $777 return Melbourne-Shanghai via Sydney It did say it was the last seat though!
Thanks!
Wow that was a great price
How difficult do you guys think it will be to get tickets for opening day and the few days after? We have annual leave booked for May but no firm plans as of yet because we have been waiting for Virgin Atlantic's reward seat sale here in the UK. Now it has launched and I have the miles for the RT to Shanghai and the taxes cost are low (will obviously be moving annual leave to June if we bite the bullet and book)
The only worry I have with this is getting tickets. My husband is worried we will book these reward flights, waste our airmiles and not get into Disney. As we were doing Shanghai next year as part of a longer trip to New Zealand anyway, we are trying to decide whether just to leave it as we have too many other places we want to visit in May anyway
Thanks for letting me get that out and your thoughts!
That is a concern of mine too. I'll be online ready to go when ticket sales open. I've managed to get into RunDisney events before (and you think 1am is bad... in our time zone RunDisney events open at 3am ). I can't see tickets selling out within 10 minutes like those ones do, so I'm still hopeful. I only have 2 full days in Shanghai, so if I can't get in on the first or second day it's going to be pretty disappointing.
I do also plan to stay onsite, but not sure how difficult that will be to secure either. Since they are supposed to open at the same time, I'm not going to know whether to buy my ticket or book my hotel first! Does anyone have a game plan for that?
I guess that's what I was thinking too. I'm not sure how much I rely on the whole guaranteed entry thing for Opening Day though... anything could happen lol! But yes, going by the numbers it does make more sense to secure the hotel first, then go after the tickets.
Or, split it between the he 2 of us.
One goes for the hotel
The other books/buys the tickets on another computer.
We do this with DCL,WDW fastpasses and dinning bookings (anything that can be booked in advance)
Has always worked well for us..and we have never missed out on anything we wanted without compromise
Side note
i wonder how many 'resellers' are going to be buying tickets and hotels for open day...only to turn around and try to sell them for exorbitant Prices.
While I'm sure technically it's not allowed...but it still happens all the time at all the other Disney resorts for popular events.
The hotel rooms is what concerns us. As the onsite hotels have very limited amount of rooms. I don't expect them to last long at all.
