New Mid-Day Ticket Option

[WDW Pro]

Dreams are incompatible with quarterly reports.

Dreams are the metaphysical substrate that drive infinitely valuable people to realize their tremendous potential in full or, more often, in part. And when more people in our society seek their potential, quarterly reports go up.

Aren't they running the risk of people who were going to buy a full day ticket, just switching to this instead?

Yes. But the actuaries ran the numbers.

This is strange indeed.

I wonder if they are trying to get conventioneers who have been put off by the $100+ a day ticket prices.

Enjoy admission to one theme park per day, after 12:00 PM. Choose from 4 amazing theme parks—Magic Kingdom park, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom park.

Ticket not valid for admission to morning Extra Magic Hours. Disney FastPass+ selections before 12:00 PM will not be valid with this ticket.

All tickets and options are nontransferable and nonrefundable and exclude activities/events separately priced. Water Parks subject to rehabilitation, seasonal and weather closures. Tee times are required for Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course and are subject to availability. Miniature golf valid for one round. Round must start after 12:00 PM and before 4:00 PM. Only one miniature golf visit per day. ESPN Wide World of Sports admission valid only on event days after 12:00 PM; some events require an additional admission charge; there are no events on certain days; days and hours of operation of concessions, venues and attractions vary. Visit www.espnwwos.com for more information.

So basically $20-30 cheaper per day.

How devious of them, especially when the MK closes at 6PM 4 days/week till the end of December.

Devious?
It's pure Disney genius!
How many first timers are gonna get sucked into this?

Still not possible, Iger has no soul and Chapek no brain.

Those tickets already exist. These tickets are derivatives of that system.

We enjoy touring the parks later so if I can save money on my tickets by doing say 4p-10p on average, this is wonderful.

@marni1971, what is your wow comment an indication of?
Wow, this is great for people who want this
Wow, attendance must be down for them to do this
Wow, another money grab by Disney

My guess is a little bit of column C and a whole lot of column B

Silly choice,

They've raised Day tickets too high now in relation to their soft summer attendance and they throw this to sort it. Sounds like Disney doesn't want lower attendance even if their spending and revenue is up

Buyer beware as mentioned...MK closes at 4PM for MNSSHP starting this Friday so unless you're going to the other parks and or get the Park hopper folks may be dissapointed

Imagine being the poor CM who has to explain all these tickets options to customers...many who don’t speak English as a first language.

6pm not 4pm, but point taken.

Just as an FYI
MK Closes at 6PM 4 of the 7 days of the week. Also the MK's typical fall close time is 9PM. 8PM for DAK, 10PM (SWGE) DHS, and 9PM 10PM Friday/Saturday for Epcot.

Still, if I'm there for a week and prefer a later start, this ticket is compelling. Even going right at noon until 6pm is still 6 solid hours at a park. Now, it could just be a limited time offer due to attendance etc. I won't be back there until maybe November 2020 so who knows what's going on with tickets then.

On my last trip in March I might have gone to a park at 3pm but still paid full price.

They have placards to assist. It's not so bad.

 

[Disstevefan1]

Very Interesting, but I guess they will be offering a new ticket option that allows you to enter the park no earlier than 12PM. I'm trying to get more details but a strange option.

2 Day Ticket - $88 per Day
3 Day Ticket - $84 per Day
4 Day Ticket - $79 per Day

This offer is for start dates before December 15, 2019 and can start as of today. So this looks like a pilot or just another way to fill in the gaps in Fall before the holiday.

I may be in the minority but this is a good idea. $79 to get at least 6 hours in the park even if they close the park early is a good deal I think. Unfortunately, this will be another cause for the parks to be MOBBED

I have a bad feeling about this. This sounds like testing the waters for even higher pricing if you want to be there all day.
