Some recent vacation rentals cape cod guests to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla. and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. have received surveys from Disney surrounding vacation rentals cape cod possible vacation rentals cape cod future theme park ticketing options.
Disney Theme Park Club, Walt Disney World Receive a Walt Disney World 7-Day Park Hopper ticket with water park access once per year for 10 years ($2,000 per person, or $200 per year a savings of more than 50% at current prices.);
Be Part of the Magic Add-On Four to six hour experience side-by-side with select vacation rentals cape cod Disney characters including a makeover, private meet n greet with ride experience, photo session, themed meal, and private transportation (Examples: Princess or Buzz Lightyear. $1,500 per group, up to 6.);
Character Nights Nighttime visit to the Magic Kingdom or Disneyland park with all attraction wait times at 10 minutes or less, special fireworks, unlimited snacks, and more character vacation rentals cape cod experiences ($125 per person, per day);
Premium vacation rentals cape cod Holiday Ticket Entrance vacation rentals cape cod to the Magic Kingdom or Disneyland on popular vacation rentals cape cod holidays with a limit on the number of guests allowed in the park, allowing more time with characters and shorter lines for attractions ($99 per person, per day $17 more than the current one-day ticket);
vacation rentals cape cod All-Inclusive Disney Resort (Walt Disney World) Unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages, resort recreation (boat rentals, parasailing, etc.), amenities (Internet access, gym, etc.) ($40 $80 per person, per night. Does not include room rate.);
The idea of Disney having VIP experiences for an extra cost has often been debated vacation rentals cape cod among Disney theme park regulars. Those with money to burn would surely enjoy the benefits of unlimited Fastpass vacation rentals cape cod or pre-planned schedules with little-to-no waiting in line for popular attractions. However, guests who can only afford Disney theme park vacations every once in a while worry that their experience will be cheapened by those who are able to skip lines and reserve seating simply by giving the Mouse a few hundred extra bucks.
Universal Orlando, Disney s primary theme park competitor in Florida, already offers an Express pass for an extra cost (and far less than $150 per person), allowing those who are willing to pay more to skip lines ahead of those who only purchase admission tickets. Disney s existing Fastpass system is free but has limitations and available Fastpass tickets often run out early in the day for the most popular vacation rentals cape cod attractions.
The logistics of enforcing the partial day and no-ride tickets are unknown. How would certain guests be asked to leave at 3 p.m. or be turned away from attractions? Would all guests be required to show a valid ticket before entering an attraction? It s not unheard of. In Disneyland s early years, the system required guests to purchase tickets for each ride they wanted to enjoy.
Families who travel to Disney theme park regularly year after year would certainly enjoy savings in the Theme Park Club offerings above. Even at current ticket vacation rentals cape cod prices, when broken down per-year, the up-front cost of $1,500 or $2,000 is at least a 50% discount and Disney tickets rise in price nearly every year.
But remember, none of these tickets or experiences are currently available. These are options Disney is only considering, as described in recent online surveys. Depending on the reaction from those taking the survey, we may or may not see any of them actually come to the parks in the future.
What are your thoughts on these possible new tickets and experiences? vacation rentals cape cod Would you buy any of them? Or do you think paying more for VIP experiences is unnecessary and everyone should have the same access with park admission? Comment below!
My head hurts from reading all those options. The Character Nights sounds attractive. But I would prefer they have a version that elimates the Meet Greets and reduces the cost. Oh no! I just created ANOTHER option!
Unless you wrote it wrong originally, why would they have to be kicked out at 3:00? You originally wrote the pass would give Access to theme parks from opening until 3:00 pm or 3:30 pm until closing So unless you were wrong there, I believe there would be no reason to kick anyone out at 3:00 b/c that is the time people with that pass would be coming in.
ah yes, I see now. Definitely my mistake there. I just skimmed over it and saw both times and thought you meant either or b/c you werent quite sure yet b/c this is all a little uncertain at them moment. I guess that s why it s a good idea to read the whole article so there isn any confusion!
The problems I see with this option is the same as with the special vacation rentals cape cod event nights (Mickey s Christmas and Halloween parties). People are given a bracelet if they have purchased a special ticket for the night and are allowed to stay past regular closing; however, people have figured out that if they stay for the last parade and then duck into the stores for an hour or more and they can avoid being thrown out of the park. Once the party begins the only time your bracelet is checked is when you try to get on one of the rides (and that is usually for the 1st hour only according to a cast memeber)after that they can come and go as they please. We saw lots and lots of people without bracelets at last year s Mickey s Very Merry Christmas Party and it really annoyed me.
I love the alternative theme park ticket options just because when I m going in November I would love to buy just a cheap no ride ticket just to see all the Christmas decorations! They d probably enforce it just like they do for Extra Magic Hours.
Not a fan of the VIP treatment options, I m in the camp where I think it would cheapen the experience for those who didn t buy it. At least the way the system runs now is fair if not perfect. No matter the amount of money you have, you get the equal chance to experience everything in park like everyone else. It s the resorts where you get the VIP experience if you pay for it. While I have the money to buy those extra add-ons, I don t really think it s fair. In the real world those with the money get all the perks at least at Disney vacation rentals cape cod you can escape that and everyone is equal.
I would love the Theme Park Club idea even if you missed a few years out of the 10 it would still be a savings. If we think we are going to Disney, we try to buy the tickets before the price hike in August anyway. So this is right up my alley.
The all inclusive might be a good package as well. We ve gone on the free disney dining plan promotions and it was convenient using the plan so it might be worth it depends on where on that sliding scale they price it. $80 per night is so not worth it.
Personally, I dislike the dining plan options for exactly the same reason you dislike the VIP options. It favors traveling guests with vacation packages over locals or those who book trips separately. It causes all the good restaurants to get booked up quickly, leaving me with one heck of a difficult time finding a decent place to eat without waiting an hour to sit down. I d rather Disney go back to not offering free dining (or any dining plan) so everyone can be on an even playing field there as well.
I m not sure how it favors the traveling guest, when anyone can book a reservation online or by phone in advance (on resort, off resort, local, dining plan or non-dining plan). You don t have to be on the dining plan to get an advanced reservation. While it may have added some people booking the reservations in advance it s just like any other restaurant that accepts reservations or call ahead seating. Those without a reservation will have to wait.
Yes, everyone can book those reservations with ease. However, those on the free dining plan are *much* more likely to eat at a nice sit-down vacation rentals cape cod restaurant vacation rentals cape cod than they would have been otherwise. So the result is that more restaurants are seeing more patrons dining for free who, without the dining plan, wouldn t have been there in the first place. And that makes the restaurants more crowded.
No one is dining for free. I pay for the dining plan. It is discounted, but it is not free. And if I want to dine at one of my favorite restaurants, dining plan or not, I make my reservations way ahead of time. The playing field is quite level, anyone who is willing vacation rentals cape cod to spend the time planning their Disney dining experience will be able to enjoy it without vacation rentals cape cod stressing out. If you re not willing vacation rentals cape cod to plan ahead .well, as they say, if you snooze you lose.
Sorry, perhaps my thoughts weren t directed at you then. There are travelers who are dining for free many of them. Disney has run several promotions vacation rentals cape cod (including a current one available for booking vacation rentals cape cod until tomorrow) that gives you the dining plan for FREE with certain vacation packages. It s those free promotions that have the restaurants extra clogged, not the dining plan in general.
Unlimited FASSPASS sounds horrible. But allowing people to buy essentially another card, or one of the birthday/volunteer cards for a reasonable amount would be a great idea. So you get a guarantee of riding each ride once or something. Then you could choose your park based on which one you could purchase this for. I would certainly vacation rentals cape cod pay 10 20 bucks a person for this, and it would not clog up the lines much if any at all. Honestly, as much as I love Hollywood Studios, we won t go there unless we can fight the crowd and get those Toy Story fast passes, or we will get to ride it once after standing in line for an hour.
As 40ish year olds with kid out of the house, vacation rentals cape cod we go down quite often and we like the rides a lot, but we also like to take it easy. I am speaking at a conference in Orlando in October, and I plan to go over to on
