Since the christmas party tickets get you access to the park our strategy was to hit up the party on arrival day and use our park tickets the rest of the trip. But yeah those prices.......
This is the only reason we even remotely entertained the idea. We are going to be spending a week at Universal in December, and were going to completely avoid WDW for a whole bunch of reasons. Then when these came up, and I realized where it would fall during our trip...I gave in. We'll spend $380 for the two of us to have 8 hours at the MK. And most of the time we won't have to be dealing with Genie-minus and all that ridiculous BS. Not to mention, nighttime is my favorite time to be at the MK.
We will be completely avoiding the "party" itself. We are only there to do rides. We will eat before, somewhere else, and then be at the MK to get in at 4. The only planning that will be needed is to make sure we are on the correct side of the parades so we don't get stuck in the wrong land at the wrong time.
Then we will wave bye-bye to WDW, and spend a nice relaxing week at a resort that...well, actually allows you to relax and enjoy yourself. And doesn't cost as much as a used car to spend a decent week at.
