Ticket buying.. longer than 10 days About This Page:

[hall0731]

We are planning our next trip for June 2014. We are wanting to stay for 13 to 14 days. I have tried to tentatively price tickets for 14 days and can't find anything beyond the 10 day option. Can anyone help me in figuring out what tickets for 14 days with park hopper option would be? Or direct me somewhere that I can find out.


Thanks!

There are no such tickets for us in the USA (overseas guests have those ticket options though I believe). I think you could just buy a combination of tickets (a 10 day and a 4 day, two 7 days, etc) or just buy an Annual Pass. I just don't know what kind of money you want to spend so you'd have to do the math that fits your needs.

I was wondering if that is what I needed to do. Do you get the same benefits of the annual pass as you would the tickets?

I believe you get more benefits with the AP. I've never owned one so I don't know what the benefits would be

can you have park hopper on the annual passes as well? I haven't researched too much about the annual passes.

I guess they think we don't need to spend more than 10 days in the parks.

Would I have to set up 2 different reservations when I call, if I was doing the 7day option and then another 7day option?

Direct from the Disney website

Annual Passes



The Annual Pass provides a full year of incredible theme park fun and includes:

• unlimited admission for 365 days to Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom Park
• same-day admission to all 4 Walt Disney World theme parks
• complimentary theme park parking
• special Passholder discounts on Resort Hotels, dining, merchandise and more
• exclusive Passholder communications with behind-the-scenes information
• exclusive Passholder special events and privileges
  

You may end up paying a little bit more on an AP than regular tickets, but you can get room discounts with it

[CinderAbby]

Did some quick math for you. Current price of an adult 7 day ticket is $322. For 14 days, it would cost $644. An adult AP is $552.. You'd save about $90 per ticket and get possible discounts on your room, dining and merchandise. I just don't know the stipulations for those discounts though but you could call Disney and find out.

I am not sure how to do more than 10 days in the park other than an annual pass, but something you might consider is if you really need more than 10 days in the park. I spent two weeks at WDW with 10 park Hopper plus water parks tickets. That really gives you 20 days - 10 in the parks and 10 at the water parks (water park days don't count for park days and vice versa). In June, I would definitely hit the water parks several days. They are lots of fun and you will not get bored. So if you are on a budget, I would humbly suggest that a full blown 10 day ticket would serve you well. If not, go for the annual pass. Or, if you are not sure, get the 10 day ticket and see. If you a week into it and really want to hit the parks on more day, Disney allows you to apply the full price towards a annual pass. Just a thought.

Annual Passes are park hoppers.

The benefits to an annual are free parking if staying offsite, merchandise discounts at most stores in WDW that are owned and run by Disney (theme parks and Downtown), discounts available for dining at participating restaurants and you can purchase the Tables in Wonderland card for $75. The TIW card gets you 20% off your total dining bill for up to 10 people, including adult beverages, at most table service restaurants. The TIW card is good for one year.
The annual pass is good for 1 year from date of purchase if you buy at the gate. You can also pre-purchase an annual pass on line. When you pre-purchase you receive a voucher and your year doesn't begin until you redeem it at Guest Relations.

Definitely get the Annual passes for a 14 day stay

As mentioned AP does include park hopping. And a 10% merchandise discount (20% if you get the Premium AP which includes the water parks and Disney Quest).
If you are staying on site- sometimes Disney releases AP room discounts which are a little better then the General Public discount. - Sometimes.

An alternative to an AP is getting the 10 Day park hopper- it gives you 10 days park entry, plus 10 water park or Disney Quest entries. So- if your family enjoys the water parks, for 3 or 4 days sprinkled in between park days you could have a water park day, then in the evening go to DTD Disney Quest. Also, with longer stays, some people also just do a non-park resort day or 2 also to re-charge and enjoy the resort amenities.

All depends on what you want to do- And you didn't mention if you are staying on or off site. So if you are staying off site, I'd def. go with the AP because parking is free, and that can really add up over 13 or 14 days.
