I would so love to order but we are doing our give a day service this weekend and I am under the impression (correct me if I am wrong) that we have to turn them in directly to wdw to get a one day ticket which we then upgrade to a 10 day park hopper. If there is another way to go about that, let me know!!

Unfortunately, you're right. Travel Agents can't convert or upgrade the "Give A Day" tickets. You have to redeem and upgrade them at a Theme Park Ticket Window.

Maybe next time :p

Do you know if Disney has released packages for March/April 2011?

Do you know if Disney has released packages for March/April 2011?

They have not. They typically release the next year's rates in August.

You're thinking of the DVC discount on Annual Passes, which we do not sell. You have to buy AP's directly through Disney.

Yes, that's what I meant...I was curious when you mentioned DVC members in your post but I didn't think you sold AP, so I thought I would just check to make sure.

Well, I said that just in case there were DVC members who didn't get APs - there have been a few rare cases :p

[tinkerbrie]

Good to know!!

Do they release the rates for the whole year in August? I am going on a cruise in September and want to rebook on the ship for the best rates. I wasnt sure if I could calculate going to the resort then as well. Thanks!

Yes, they will publish all of the 2011 room rates, ticket prices and Dining Plan details/prices at the same time - which is usually in August of each year.

Unless you've paid for your September cruise in full, you can still transfer it to Mouse Unlimited and get cash-back. It doesn't affect your reservation at all when you transfer it. The only difference is that you make payments through our site in stead of through Disney's.

Also, after you book a bounceback cruise or WDW stay, be sure to let us know and we can transfer that one as well.

Ab...so....lutely :banana:

We accept Visa, MC, Discover, AmEx, JCB....Credit or Debit....as well as Disney Gift Cards, Visa Gift Cards, and Disney Visa Rewards.

[lswheatly]

Thanks so much. I can't wait until they release the packages

Us too! We have a good number of quotes ready to send out once the 2011 rates are published....and I'm pretty sure you're one of them :)

I have trip booked with special code from Disney, that you do not have on your website.

Is it still possible to transfer to you for SR credit? You said you take :mickey: Disney visa, but will I still get the 6 free months to pay the trip off?

Has anyone every transfered for credit, just courious how it went.

Which special code did you use to book with? Was it a PIN code you received in the mail? If so, we wouldn't have it listed on our site since those are sent to individuals.

If it's a code that's offered to Visa Cardholders, Annual Passholders or the General Public - and we don't have it on our site - I'd be anxious to hear what it is. As far as I know, we have all of the current discount codes listed on our website.

Yes, you may continue to make your payments using your Disney Visa through our secure website once transfered.

And we currently have three Sunshine Rewards Members who have transfered reservations to us. One of them just got back from their trip and it went off without a hitch (in fact, we'll be adding her testimonial to our site soon). Two others are still pending travel. I'm going to respect their privacy and not divulge their names, but maybe they'll see this post and reply.

When you transfer a reservation to us, nothing changes except who you pay and who you call - us instead of Disney. You use our website to make payments instead of Disney's, and you send us e-mails instead of spending time on hold with Disney. You still have your reservation number and an book your ow Dining and Recreation if you prefer.

I am sure Tom will answer as well, but I am pretty sure you can still use your code that you received from Disney. We had a bounceback offer for our upcoming vacation and he was easily able to switch us over without any problems. In addition, when free dining was released, we were able to get a better deal at a different resort and he was able to cancel the first reservation and set us up with a new one very easily.

As for the Disney Visa, I think everything would remain the same as that promo is offered through the credit card company. That's just my opinion and I am sure that Tom would know an absolute answer on that as well.

We transferred our reservation a few months ago and the experience has been great so far. I should say that I am a little OCD when planning our Disney vacations, and I feel quite comfortable booking them myself, but the cashback through SR was too good to pass up. Transferring our reservation was a very easy process. I forwarded him our current reservation and then he sent an official request. When we approved, I believe there was a form we had to fill out and fax back to him so that he could let Disney know that he was handling the reservation now. Everything else remained the same. If I had questions, instead of calling Disney and waiting on hold, I simply sent Tom an email and he answered any questions I had. I have been very impressed with their response time to emails. Their level of customer service has been outstanding so far. They will also book your dining reservations and any special event tickets, or you can do them yourself. I would definitely recommend them. :sunshine:

[RENITA]

The code was specific for our family 40% off rooms, and the best deal we could find.

Many Thanks for the quick replies. Will contact Tom about the transfer.

We received your e-mail and have replied twice, but I'm fearful that perhaps you didn't get our replies.

Maybe they went to your Spam folder, or maybe we're sending to the wrong e-mail address. I've never seen an underscore (_) at the end of an e-mail name like the one you provided, so maybe that was a type-o?

Or maybe you got our reply and I'm just being too impatient :p

[MKCP84]

Can we receive cash back for tickets to NOJ? We already have annual passes and are staying at BLT through DVC but just about to order NOJ tickets and saw this thread and got me wondering.

Unfortunately, Disney doesn't pay commission on Special Event Tickets, so there would be no cash back. Good question, though.

We will, however, order Special Event Tickets for clients who have booked vacations with us, as a courtesy.

Do DVC members get their $100 discount through you?

Hope this is okay to mention....if not, I won't be upset if it's deleted:

Although you couldn't get your AP through Mouse Unlimited, you could buy tickets from them and when you get to Disney, you can apply the cost of the tickets towards your AP. It would be a great way to get your your Sunshine Rewards and then get your DVC discount on your APs.

I think we'll do this next time. We are new DVC members and we're planning on getting AP's next year but I'd love to support Mouse Unlimited and get my SRs if I can. :)

Steph: You're exactly right! I didn't say it because I figured I'd just sound like a salesman, so I'm glad you did :)

We anticipate that ticket prices will increase in a few weeks, since they routinely do in early August. With that said, you could actually save a few dollars by buying the most expensive Park Hoppers you can buy right now.

If you buy the tickets now, at the 2010 rates, you can get the 2011 value of them as a credit IF you go through a turnstile first, THEN go to the ticket window to upgrade to an AP.

By going through the turnstile first, you essentially lock in the ticket value at the price of the ticket on that day in time, as opposed to what you actually pay if you buy them now. So, when you go to actually buy the AP, they should give you credit for your Park Hoppers equal to what that same ticket would have cost you that morning at the ticket window.

Of course, even if you don't beat the August price increase, you still come out ahead by getting them through us, since you'll get cash-back. Just place an order on our website here (https://www.mouseunlimited.com/tickets).

:thanks:

[Kittykat]

I have a (hopefully) quick question.

We are renting DVC points for our next trip but still need tickets and dining. Can I purchase our tix through UT and add dining "a la carte" through my DVC reservation? Or are you still required to purchase your ticket(s) through Disney to add the dining plan?

I am confusing myself!

I would LOVE to get our tix from UT before the prices are raised in August but don't want to shoot myself in the foot when it comes to adding the dining plan!

Yes, DVC members may purchase the Dining Plan before their check-in date. It needs to be paid in full, via CC, at least 3 days before check-in if I remember correctly.

Since you're renting points, I'm guessing the point Owner will need to add it for you, but that's a question you need to pose to the point broker or the point Owner directly.

Everything DVC is ala carte. Most DVC members have Annual Passes, but you can also buy separate tickets.

I knew I had to add the dining plan through the broker, I just wasn't sure if we had to purchase tickets at the same time as well (through Disney).

But that's good news! I can order my tickets through you sometime over the next few days! :banana:

Thanks for your quick response, it is GREATLY appreciated. :)

Not sure how much you are saving if you have to use one of the days on the ticket to go through the turnstile first? You would just need to do the math to see if it's worth all the trouble. :confused:

[dwkay8]

Not sure how much you are saving if you have to use one of the days on the ticket to go through the turnstile first? You would just need to do the math to see if it's worth all the trouble. :confused:

When you upgrade to an AP it doesn't matter how many "days" you've used on the ticket. All that matters is the value of the ticket. (Going through the gates just locks in the original price you paid, preventing them from charging you the difference of what you paid vs. the current gate price.) It's hard to do the math without knowing what AP prices might be after the increase, but the overall savings will be higher when you factor in SR cash back.

We did a DVC AP upgrade like this two years ago, and I didn't find it to be too much of a hassle. We just went to a park to eat lunch when we arrived, then upgraded and continued about our day :)

[jnorth1007]

I agree. When you factor in the difference in the ticket prices (you are being credited for the higher ticket price even if you paid the lower ticket price) and the cash back from SR it could be a pretty good savings and every penny counts in my excel spreadsheet :rotfl: plus it is very easy to upgrade. It can be done when you go to the park the first time. No need to make a special trip.

wow, I didn't know that...thought you had to put what was left on the ticket towards the AP. thanks.

It's a pretty good deal, once you know how to work the system!

Here is a link (https://www.mouseunlimited.com/uploads/pdf/sunshinerewards/SR-WDW_Tix_CashBack.pdf) to the Cash-Back chart for tickets if purchased through Mouse Unlimited. These are only good until they release the new ticket prices, however.

[~Kathie]

Tom, Will you explain how this works for DVC members??

I usually buy my vouchers online and keep them in storage until needed. The vouchers I bought last year will be activated when we go in October. The vouchers don't expire and don't have to be activated until I get to the park.

I buy 2 more vouchers close to the time (or before a price increase) I will be activating my vouchers. I always have vouchers ahead and always beat the ticket increases.

1 AP (10 +) with my DVC discount was $389. Right now a 6 day PH Non Expiry is $375.95. According to your chart, I can get $6 back per ticket on SR.

I take my ticket to the park and upgrade to a DVC AP and just pay the difference there? Am I thinking about this too much?

[jnorth1007]

Here is my understanding of it Kathie but I am sure he will verify. You purchase through SR and MU the biggest ticket you can at the current price. You get to the parks and use the tickets to enter the park on your first day. You will then take your used tickets to customer service and upgrade them to a DVC AP and they will credit you the price at that time (which should be higher than what you actually pay because of the prices going up) not the price you actually paid towards your DVC AP. By using it in the parks it locks in the price as of the date used. This won't work if you are looking to get a voucher to hold on to and have ahead of time. These will be actual tickets not vouchers from my understanding.

I'm not sure how many questions I'm supposed to be answering, so bear with me :)

If you're asking about the strategy, it sounds like you would probably benefit more by renewing your DVC-discounted AP each year (currently at $344) rather than buying 2 new ones each year. If this isn't what you were trying to explain in the first few paragraphs, then you'll need to explain that part again :p

Now, if you're just wanting to buy a couple of tickets now, and then upgrade them to APs when you get to WDW, that would require a different strategy.

Today, a 6-Day PH + NoExp would actually be $390.86 (with tax and free will-call pick-up), with $6 SR cash back. The DVC Rate for an AP (today) is $389. We expect that both of these prices will increase later this week or some time next week.

With this said, you'd need to buy a less expensive ticket now, or risk it costing more than your AP, which you'd have to buy at WDW, since you wouldn't have your park-hoppers until you go there anyway, and you can only upgrade tickets at WDW.

If you can provide a few more details, I can try to walk you through the best scenario a little better. I don't think I understand your end goal clearly enough to give you the right answer, because again, it sounds like you'd be better off upgrading your APs rather than buying new ones each year (especially if they continue the 15-month program).

[MouseUnlimited]

Here is my understanding of it Kathie but I am sure he will verify. You purchase through SR and MU the biggest ticket you can at the current price. You get to the parks and use the tickets to enter the park on your first day.

These will be actual tickets not vouchers from my understanding.

You're exactly right. If you buy tickets now and want to upgrade them to an AP later, the upgrade has to be done at a WDW ticket window, after you've used them at least once.

If the guest needs an AP now, you have to order the vouchers straight up from Disney over the phone or web, and there would be no transactions involving us, or with a MYW ticket.

[~Kathie]

Ha!! You think YOU'RE confused!!! :rotfl:

I'm confused here. When I upgrade, is it to the current price of the DVC AP?
Is the pass I'm upgrading take on the price of the current 6-day?

[MouseUnlimited]

I'm confused here. When I upgrade, is it to the current price of the DVC AP? Is the pass I'm upgrading take on the price of the current 6-day?

I'm going to invent an example using round (fake) numbers so I don't confuse myself any further, LOL.

Let's say you buy a 6-Day MYW Park Hopper from us today, and it's a flat $100. Let's also assume that same ticket goes up to $110 next week. You've immediately saved yourself $10.

In February, you visit WDW and want to upgrade that ticket to an AP, which costs $200 (at that moment in time). If you don't visit the parks at all before you go to the ticket window, they will give you $100 credit for the 6-Day Park Hopper (today's price), meaning you pay $100 for the upgrade.

However, if you go into a park first, then come back out and THEN go to the ticket window, they'll give you a credit of $110 (the price of that same 6-Day Park Hopper at that moment in time), meaning you'd only pay $90 for the upgrade.

Now, if you're wanting to have vouchers in your hand now for whatever reason, this system won't work because you can only convert MYW tickets to APs at a WDW ticket window - bypassing any need for vouchers.

Does this help? :)

Now I get it!!! Thanks for your patience and the explanation!!

I already have vouchers for the DVC AP for our trip in October (bought those last year) and bought 2 more today for next year. I'll have to cash them in BEFORE I go into the park. The reason I bought them ahead is that AP renewals don't work for us. There is usually 7 months between the time our AP expires and then next visit so our passes would be gathering dust. With the vouchers they are good forever. I can cash them in whenever I want and then they are good for a year.

But trying to think ahead....I may just get a couple of 5 day no expiry PH and hang onto them to use in the future.....and may talk my sister (also DVC) into doing the same thing.

Thanks again!

Ah ha! Now I get your strategy. So, how long do you visit at one time? I presume for several days, to make the AP worth it (even at the DVC rate).

Are you wanting the no-expiry tickets just to get the price up closer to the AP price, or so that you have the feature in case you decide to actually use the tickets sometime? As you probably know, the MYW tickets (without no-expiry) only expire 14 days from the day you first use them.

Also, if you decide to order some, you may want to go ahead and pay the $5 shipping ($5 total for an order) so that you have the physical tickets. Otherwise, your Will Call order will just be sitting there for a few years :p
