My average is around $22-25 per day - even with park hopping pretty much daily.

News What time is the 2 o'clock parade?
- Thread starter Bacon
- Start date
I was being generous and using a 5 day base ticket which falls right about in the middle of what the average family gets when going to WDW.
If I wanted to be really naughty, I would go with the number of $2.28 per day which is an AP spread over 365 days.

To the people who are upset about losing an hour..
Try to compare it like this..
Let's say next weekend you want to take your family somewhere for the day.. such as Zoo, Museum, Amusement Park. You don't get out much, and this is a special occasion.
Sunday will have shorter hours than Saturday at all of them.. Saturday will have fireworks at the amusement park, Sunday does not. Both days are the same price at all. So you decide which day you want to attend, correct?

Then why according to multiple insiders is the one day one park the most common ticket media sold at WDW?
Are the insiders lying or misinformed ?

Only a matter of time only a matter of time before that change is made.

I believe that ticket is extremely popular..I just don't think the majority of attendees on party mornings/afternoons are single day ticket holders

Because that's not how fractions work.
There are multiple park tickets from 1 to 10 days then 3 levels of annual passes.
Just because it might be the most common in no way guarantees it's the majority of ticket type sold.

As I've said the people who will be hit hardest by the change are convention goers and others who only have the 'Party Day' most posters here have AP's or are staying on packages so this really does not affect most regulars but it DOES trample on the one time value of treating EVERY Guest like a VIP.

Is the number of hours reduced by one hour when the park closes at 6 PM instead of 7 PM. Yes.
But... I often go off-peak when parks close several hours earlier than in the Summer. So, am I being cheated on the cost of a day-trip to the MK? There is no guarantee of X amount of hours.

Sorry to bring this back around to the subject of the parade being moved to 2pm but I reserved the package for the parade at Tonys Town Square and my reservation for lunch is at 115 its not possible to eat lunch and get to the parade by 2. How do they expect someone to make arrangements when they change things after reservations are made?

You can ask for it to go, take it to your reserved seating, and dine al fresco...

Really. What does it cost now for the fireworks? What did the previous one cost?
It isn't the amount of crowd control I commented on it is the amount of hours cut from crowd control. Evening Parade and consolidating the projection show, a break and then fireworks. That is minimum l.5 hours likely more given the set up in the streets for the parade alone. 1.5 hours times that significant amount of CMs just for crowd control you stated is a chunk of money times almost 12 months a year.

I'm not an expert, but I think fireworks are fairly expensive.. and I'd assume all of the elements that went into creating and displaying Happily Ever After were more than likely not inexpensive. I guess you would need to take all of those costs and compare them to the costs pre HEA to figure it out.

That is why I asked, I'm not an expert either. It was stated to me the cost is significantly more. To make that statement one has to know what the old cost was and the new cost is right to determine it is a significant increase? This is how we all learn things. I've never seen Disney release those figures so since I now have that opportunity to learn from @MansionButler84 since he seems to indicate he has inside knowledge. I look forward to the link to that data, never seen it.
Disney has their own pyrotechnics shop. They either make them themselves or they have some Chinese company on permanent retainer. It's not like they hire the Souza family to come in every night.

True, I know they don't bring in an outside company every night.. i've only seen a preview of happily ever after, but it looks like quite the production. I would imagine that this year especially, the cost of HEA vs wishes is much higher.
