News Round Up 2018

[The Pho]

I think I did mostly for the trading and collecting aspect. But I do think in the back of my mind I thought I always could sell them. For a few years the market for some of them was pretty good.

Just have to buy the actual limited release stuff from large following properties, if there's a large number sold, it won't be worth anything for a very long time. Things like the giant Hitchhiking Ghost statues are worth way more than what they sold for, partially because the vast majority broke during shipment.

Nope.

But looks like October 16 is when dynamic pricing on multi day tickets will be here.

Yep, just got my email. The specific time frames for usage aren't great for those who like to have non-park days (which I'm sure is the point).

ETA: Nevermind, looks like the fine print took care of that issue. Valid for which time period is longer: use period described in policy or your resort stay.

I just read and watched the video from Disney Parks blog and it looks like you have to use your tickets on the days you select from the interactive calendar.

Yes unless you buy the flexible option.

I had visions immediately of the lines at guest services, phone waits, and a million threads on boards about people trying to change their ticket dates...

 

[BigRed98]

I'm also curious how low the tickets are in February and March because based on the video those are the cheapest months in 2019.

from that calendar when November 12 was selected for the 4 day ticket they had November 12-18 to use it so more than 4 days.

Good Point! There's some flexibility but definitely limited.

Since the ticketing change will surely be a big topic I started a thread and suggest we move to discuss there.

True, but I would think on a 4 day ticket having 7 days to use it makes sense. It reminds me of ski lift tickets we used to buy 10 plus years ago where you would get a 4 day lift ticket and have 6 days from first use to use it all.

 

[YesterDark]

Where's the finance option to purchase tickets?

 

[skier_pete]

I certainly didn’t buy them for the value and resale. If I could go back I probably wouldn’t buy nearly as many though.

Under the new system, 1-Day base tickets are valid for admission on the specific start date selected. Multi-day tickets are valid for admission beginning on the start date selected and must be used within a limited time period, as indicated below:

Ticket Duration Valid Use Period
1-Day Ticket Only the start date selected
2-Day Ticket Any 2 days within 4 days beginning on the start date
3-Day Ticket Any 3 days within 5 days beginning on the start date
4-Day Ticket Any 4 days within 7 days beginning on the start date
5-Day Ticket Any 5 days within 8 days beginning on the start date

I can at least use a Magicband

So how many can you fit on arms at once??

I've close to having enough that I'll need to wear at least two at a time to make sure all of them are worn once a year!

Looks like Comcast wins the Sky battle

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/22/sky-comcast-fox-36-billion-takeover-auction.html

We have tons of Comcast/Universal cheerleaders on this board that usually applaud them "sticking it to Disney" whenever that is perceived to happen but the reaction to this has been strangely muted.
