How to save money on admission in the long run
Mar 30 '00
Here is a way to save money on admissions. It will not save you money immediately, but will pay off in the future. If you are like us and you go every year or two and annual passes wouldn't fit your needs, this will work for you.
Every year you go, you buy the 'largest' ticket you can afford. By that I mean, if you are going to Disney for 5 days, buy the 7 day Park Hopper Plus passport. That passport gives you 7 days of admission to the main parks and 4 admissions to the other parks (the three water parks, Pleasure Island, etc). If on that trip you only use 4 days of admission and one water park, you now have 3 days of admission and 3 'other' admissions left. If you do this identical scenario on your next trip (no matter how many years later it is) you would then have left over passes with 6 days of park and 6 days of 'other' parks. Your 'third' trip, whenever that would be would have all of its admissions paid for and waiting for you because they were leftovers from previous trips.
I've left the best for last. Prices never go down at Disney. Consequently, you are using tickets that weren't paid for during the current trip, which cost less than the prevailing rate.
Admittedly, this requires a larger than necessary outlay to start with. But if you do go to Disney repeatedly, regardless of frequency, then your ticket prices will remain below prevailing rates. Look at it this way.... ticket prices tend to go up faster than you can earn by leaving the money in the back. think of it as an investment plan by the Disney Company!
