More variance there as opposed to the wave pool at TL. Did EPCOT and MK on late days. Got there at park opening. It was great. I think Disney is Ok pricewise if you know what to do, but if you want the full experience, go for a week and grab base tickets. Hoppers arent worth the price IMO, bc you spend alot of time moving from park to park. Better to spend alot of time at one.

He said "only 30%" as if that wasn't a lot. Personally, I think that sounds like a lot.

Originally Posted By Brian Noble 30% of *people* buy single day tickets, but it is still possible that many fewer *admissions* are on short-stay tickets, because the longer tickets generate more admissions. But, I too am surprised by that. That does seem like a large number.
