camlbksnbrrls Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Oh the suspense is killer I check this board everyday for an update I've never been on one of these before thus I have the following questions: 1. Does a ticket include hotel stay? 2. Does a ticket include transportation? 3. Does a ticket include food beyond what may be served at the park(s)? 4. Will this include a trip to SFMM's Water Park? 5. If a ticket does no include a hotel stay any recommended area(s) for an overnight stay? Oh yeah are we there yet?
Jew Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 1. No 2. No 3. Usually includes at least 1 buffet style meal. Nothing exciting, grilled items, potatoes, etc. Had an add-on option for a Mooseburger meal as well. 4. It hasn't in the past, but no details from this year have been released. I'm guessing no based on the date. 5. Lots of good hotels around Valencia. Just use the website of your choice, and I'm sure you'll find something.
Jhcbiinoc Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 5. If a ticket does no include a hotel stay any recommended area(s) for an overnight stay? For Six Flags Magic Mountain, I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express across the street: http://www.ihg.com/priorityclub/hotels/us/en/valencia/vacca/hoteldetail If you're doing the Knott's part, you can't do too much better than the Knott's Hotel: https://reservations.knottshotel.com/knotts/?requestType=promotionCode&code=EASYPAY
AlvChen1 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 ^I typically priceline my hotel for WCB. I typically end up with either the Courtyard Santa Clarita Valencia or the Hyatt Regency Valencia.
Kyle Coleman Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 If you don't mind me asking, what do you usually bid to get those places for wcb? I have to do this pretty soon myself and don't want to over bid or stay in some flea bag motel.
AlvChen1 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Hmm...I can't seem to find my previous bids, but I'd start low at around $60 for 3.5 stars. Since you still have a lot of time till the event, I'd just slowly increase my bid each day till I get an offer. Once I get around to figuring out if I'm going or not, I'll post my bidding pattern on here.
thrillgeek Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I seriously just woke up from a nightmare! Was dreaming WCB got moved to a week earlier and because of that i wouldn't be able to go. That would of sucked! *Knocks on wood*
JJLehto Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Sure hope that stays just a bad dream...gunna buy plane tix right now!
805Andrew Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 If you don't mind me asking, what do you usually bid to get those places for wcb? I have to do this pretty soon myself and don't want to over bid or stay in some flea bag motel. Last time I went to Knott's for Knott's Scary I used Priceline to book a room for the night. I bided $50 (comes to $64 with taxes and fees) for a three star hotel near the park and I got the Courtyard Marriott which was less than two blocks from the park. We were able to walk over to the park and avoided paying for parking. This Courtyard was really nice (if you been to a Courtyard you know most of them are really nice) and really convenient. I'll will be driving down to SFMM from the Central Coast very early in the morning and will most likely drive straight to Buena Park after the day at SFMM and stay at a hotel by Knott's so I don't have to drive to Knott's in the morning (LA traffic is much smoother at night). I will be using Priceline again, hopefully I get lucky like last time and get the same hotel.
CoasterKings908 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 ^I typically priceline my hotel for WCB. I typically end up with either the Courtyard Santa Clarita Valencia or the Hyatt Regency Valencia. My family has also had really good luck with finding great deals for a room at the Hyatt Regency Valencia. Although, it might be a few minutes away from the park, rather than across the street, the area around the hotel is really nice.
Mrlittle Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 So I booked my flight, hotel and car for WCB. I'm very excited since I haven't been to this area of Cali in many years. For you locals, how are the crowd levels at DL/DCA? (going on Monday Sept 9th) I'm assuming decent since most schools are in and its not really a vacation time.

Stayed there last year for WCB and it was great. I even stayed there for the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon weekend last year since I was spending most of the previous day at Knott's. Very nice hotel.

thrillgeek Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Ouch!! Those prices especially for Knotts are a little outrageous to me. The struggling economy is kicking our butts real bad.
Blue Turbo Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Just ordered my tickets. Can't wait!!!! So excited!!!!
Angry_Gumball Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Figuring out arrangements but I definitely MUST do WCB this year...I have some unfinished business to take care of down at Knotts (denied my Pony Express credit as it was down on my April visit).
rcdude Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Excellent!!! This looks like it will be a great event, especially the Knott's day. I'm planning to attend both days, but I'll need to see what everyone else I'm bringing with me wants to do. Hopefully tickets don't sell out too quickly, as I might not be able to get mine until late July (although I don't think the event has ever sold out in two weeks). Ouch!! Those prices especially for Knotts are a little outrageous to me. The struggling economy is kicking our butts real bad. I actually think the prices are very, very, very reasonable for everything they include. The CLUB TPR price for Knott's is about equivalent with a ticket purchased at the gate and includes not only admission, but ERT, lunch, a t-shirt, backstage tours, a special presentation, and probably more surprises if past events are anything to go by. Edited July 9, 2013 by rcdude
Angry_Gumball Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) From a non-Club TPR member's/non KBF pass holder's perspective, while it initially seems 'steep' I would still go for it anyway...T-shirt included, bonus perks not included with general park admission...in the end, seems worth the cost to me!

robbalvey Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Ouch!! Those prices especially for Knotts are a little outrageous to me. The struggling economy is kicking our butts real bad. What's funny about you saying that is that the KBF non-season pass price is actually $2 CHEAPER than last years event, and the SFMM event is $2 more expensive. Personally, for what Knott's is giving us for that price (all the tours, presentations, T-Shirt, ERT, etc), that's a GREAT value, especially if you're a season pass holder!

Blue Fire Guy Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Just registered and am now very excited for my first ever TPR event! I do have a question though: On the "customer information" page I entered in all my information, name, email, TPR screen name, etc. However, the PayPal part was all under my dad's name, he was pretty cool with it and we planned for this ever since WCB 2013 was announced earlier this year. Is there any problem with this?
robbalvey Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 SFMM will still do a Q&A correct? Not this year.
chickenbowl Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Would any Six Flags season pass work, or only specific to SFMM? It looks awesome! I can't wait to do all the awesome WCB things! (Log Ride tour, tone of ERT!)
