Guess we'll go to the Garden Walk or somewhere else. Any suggestions?

Originally Posted By dlandgirls I agree. We bought 6 day passes every year. I noticed prior to the price hike they were not listed in the new pricing and bought mine for this summer. Hope they start offering them again. We are from out of town, part of the people who spend all the money on hotel, food and souveneirs from the park. You would think it would benefit Disney to offer them.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros That's really strange. I can't imagine a scenario when it would not be of benefit to Disney to have the 6th day of the Park Hopper. In theory, they're probably trying to convert the 6-day guests into APers, but that really doesn't make sense for a lot of out-of-town guests who would want the longer tickets in the first place. At WDW you can get tickets for upto 14 days (since they expire 14 days after first use, even though there is an upcharge option for no expiration), so I don't know why DLR would have removed the 6 day option when it had been there for s few years

Originally Posted By tashajilek I wanted to 6 day hopper too because i will be going over Xmas and the place will be a zoo. I just sent a complaint 2 days ago requesting they bring the 6 day pass back. I suggest everyone that wants it back do so, because you never know. We would have bought 2 Pap's and maybe went during christmas and one other short trip, but with costing $300 extra it just isnt worth it.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I can't think of a reason to get rid of the 6 day passes either. It's not like locals can buy them and use them throughout the year because they expire soon after the first time you use the ticket. So 99% of the people buying them will be out of towners, and why should you discourage people from spending longer in the parks? If they aren't that popular, who cares? Doesn't cost you anything to have the ticket be good for 6 days rather than 5.
Originally Posted By tashajilek ^^ I agree. When i get my email back from Disney telling me too bad there are only 5 day passes i will say ohh well one less day i am spending my money at the parks. You think with just building Carsland they would try and push people to spend more time in the parks. Oh well.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance When you get the e-mail, write them back and say "Thanks for the info. I was looking for some time to go check out the new Transformers ride at Universal anyway! Cheers!"
Originally Posted By tashajilek ^^^ LOL yea i will probably say something like that. I was thinking of doing one day at Knotts anyways, so i guess 5 days really is enough.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I wonder how many consecutive days I could spend in the parks before I felt like I'd had enough? I'm talking mentally and emotionally, not physically. One full day of a Disney park is enough to kill anybody's feet.
Originally Posted By tashajilek 5 is probably good enough maybe 6 before you want out lol. I remember when i visited Disneyland a few times a year i was getting a little bored and thinking about what WDW would be like. After being at WDW and over a year break for DL i am ready for the trip. "One full day of a Disney park is enough to kill anybody's feet." I find almost any vacation can be like that. When im in Las Vegas i walk a good 12-13 hrs too. I dont think i really know how to have relaxing vacation anyways.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros If you really want a 6 day ticket, and they won't do it at the ticket booth, it may be worth checking at guest relations once you're inside the park. That's where you would go to upgrade a regular ticket to a longer one, so they might be able to add another day to your 5-day Hopper. I don't know if they can do it, but it might be a way to get around the system. I would definitely check this on your first day, so you can mentally budget your time better, in case they won't let you buy the extra day
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I don't know how to either. I can't sit down on a vaction and not do things all day long. I'm hoping the cruise we go on next year will force me to relax a little more.
