Icon10 I finally did it!

I have always wanted to buy the 10 day, park hopper, no experation tickets for DH & myself. I finally did just that! I saved up the money. We like to stay at the Ft. Wilderness Campground. I don't want to use all of our tickets on one trip down there. We are too old to be in a hurry.

After you have used up some days, and then you buy/add more, you will still pay the per day price of a 10 day pass . . . so don't throw them away when you are down to your last day!

Re: I finally did it!

Before the last day of your stay you can add on more days to your tickets.

Re: I finally did it!

You will get the discounted price that you paid for the 10days. So you are getting a really good discount on additional days.

Re: I finally did it!

TY, Mickeysgirlz.

Tiki,

A 1 day WDW adult ticket (WITHOUT the park hopper pass & WITHOUT the 'no expiration') is $71.00. It would be $105.00 WITH the park hopper pass. (you can't get a 'no expiration' on a 1 day ticket)

Because I am getting 10 tickets for myself WITH park hopper & no expiration options, I only paid $45.00 per day plus tax.

Before I use up all my days, I can ADD more days onto my card for the same $45.00 per ticket.

I hope that I haven't confused you more.

Thanks for laying it out...but let me ask one more thing. For the example given of a 10 day p/h no exp. ticket, you can add more days before you leave and will they not expire either? Are the additional days covered under the no expir. price you initially paid? I hope that made sense...

Re: I finally did it!

Good Job! All that saving really paid off! I am not good at saving - only spending. I am working on saving for a Disney trip now of course! How exciting to hold those 10 Day Passes!!!!!! I hope you enjoy them for multiple trips!

Re: I finally did it!

Tiki, I was told that I could reload my card as long as I didn't use up all my days. But, now several on here has told me that isn't so. So, I called & asked them at WDW. They didn't know either. (??) They said I would have to ask (at guest relations, I guess?) when I get down there. But, regardless. It is still a deal at $45.00 a ticket. We will get several trips out of our tickets. We're old & from the south, so we kind of take it slow & easy. lol
