Disney tickets: Alles over bestellen/kopen en gebruiken

[Petr@]

Volgens mij krijg je die plastic tickets alleen als je ze rechtstreeks besteld (hadden wij nl ook) en niet via touroperator of aan de kassa. Mijn eigen (complimentary) ticket die ik aan de kassa kon ophalen was ook gewoon van papier!
Sandy, wij hadden dezelfde afbeeldingen in april, dus zal het hele jaar hetzelfde zijn. Leuk zijn ze, he! Ze zitten hier al in het fotoalbum!!

Hoi Allemaal,

Mijn laatste domme vraag aan jullie, daarna stel ik alleen nog maar intelligente [-( ..hahah!

Als ik op de site van disney probeer te boeken, selecteer ik de datum, het resort en het aantal personen (2). Ik krijg dan een prijsopgave en dan kan ik nog wat dingen veranderen en opties toevoegen. De prijs die dan bovenaan en onderaan staat: Is dit de prijs per persoon of totaal voor het aantal personen dat je hebt opgegeven???

[FrankS]

Dit is de totaal prijs, dus inclusief toegangspassen voor alle personen die je opgegeven hebt, mits je natuurlijk hebt aangegeven dat je toegangspassen wil hebben. De hotelprijzen zijn altijd per kamer.

[Hannah]

Begrijp ik het dan goed dat als ik een 'package' boek, het de totaalprijs is??

[FrankS]

Ja. Een package kan overigens wel diverse onderdelen bevatten, maar er zit altijd minstens 1 overnachting en 1 toegangsdag in.

Bring more money if you visit Disney

Scott Powers | Sentinel Staff Writer August 4, 2007

The price of magic goes up this weekend at Walt Disney World, where the basic adult ticket is climbing 6 percent to a record $71.

Disney announced Friday that the new ticket prices would take effect Sunday. The changes also affect discount packages that still can push the per-day cost below $23 for adults who want to commit to as much as a 10-day run at Disney's four theme parks.

An adult, one-day, one-park pass that now costs $67 will go up to $71. Price increases of 3 percent to 6 percent were tacked on to most of Disney's "Magic Your Way," Florida discount and annual-pass deals.


There was no word Friday out of either Universal Orlando or SeaWorld Orlando about whether they, too, expect to raise prices soon. Both said they make those decisions independently. Yet Central Florida's theme-park resorts have a history of raising ticket prices at about the same time to about the same amounts.

Disney World's increase came just two days after corporate parent Walt Disney Co. announced a $1.1 billion third-quarter profit and another good season at the company's theme parks, where profit margins topped 20 percent.

Disney officials said the timing of the price increase had nothing to do with the corporate earnings; rather, it was tied to the annual planning cycles of travel wholesalers, tour organizers and commercial publications. They need their 2008 resort information soon.

There was no indication that anyone expects Disney's price to scare away customers.

"We strongly believe that Walt Disney World represents a great entertainment value. Our guests agree," spokesman Rick Sylvain said. "In our guest surveys, nine out of 10 rate their theme-park experience from good to excellent."

Because Disney is the recognized leader in the theme-park industry, the company can continue to raise prices as long as people keep coming because Disney will define the level that the market will bear, said theme-park professor Ady Milman of the University of Central Florida's Rosen College of Hospitality Management.

Milman said he does not think Disney is pricing itself out of the average family's budget, because the average out-of-state family saves for about five years to pay for a Disney vacation.

"Disney has the capacity to distinguish itself as a good brand with a guaranteed experience, so people will pay," he said. "But it's amazing," he added, referring to the new single-day price.

For years, the area's Big Three theme parks waited until December or January to announce price increases. But Disney bucked that trend last year, raising its basic ticket from $63 to $67 almost exactly a year ago. Universal quickly followed to $67, though SeaWorld waited until January and went up only to $64.95.

Most of the industry has gotten away from thinking in terms of annual price increases, said Dennis Speigel, a private consultant and president of International Theme Park Services in Cincinnati.

"Really, what they've been doing is taking them as they feel they can," he said. "I think what Disney is doing is putting fat on the fat hog. It's probably a good time to do it, while trends are up and people are coming. With the season they're having and the good quarter they just reported, it's probably a good time to do it."

In the past three years, Disney World has followed a trend begun at other theme parks of moving away from one-day, one-park tickets and toward various ticket packages that cost more but offer more, including steep per-day discounts. Last year, Disney officials said that fewer than half their visitors were still buying one-day, one-park tickets.

Among other changes:

The basic ticket for children ages 3 to 9 will start at $60, up from $56.

"Magic Your Way" tickets add multiple days at decreasing per-day rates; an adult two-day, one-park ticket will cost $139, up from $132, while a 10-day ticket will cost $225, up from $216.

Disney's "Park Hopper" feature was not changed: For $45 extra, Disney visitors can turn any one-park ticket into a multipark ticket.

Florida residents will continue to receive a 10 percent discount on base-price tickets purchased in advance, with an adult ticket starting at $63.90.

A basic one-day water-park ticket (for either Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon) will cost $39, up from $36.

Nog een vraagje:

Ik heb een hopper met waterpark fun and more ticket. Mag ik dan in de voormiddag eerst een waterpark doen en nadien nog een pretpark?

Simpel gezegd: Ja!

Het kost je wel 2 dagen toegang, n.l. 1x voor het attractiepark en 1x voor het waterpark. Als je bijv. op 1 dag zowel Magic Kingdom als Epcot bezoekt dan kost het je maar 1 dag (aangezien je dan je hopper-functie gebruikt).

Da's nou zo leuk aan deze tickets, en ook de bedoeling: Park + zwempark op één dag.

Life is so easy!!
