OzErik Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hey guys, Was wondering back in 1998 we stayed onsite at WDW and was able to purchase "length of stay" passes for our stay. I was wondering, with all the ticket restructuring, does the length of stay pass still exist? And if so, could someone point me in the direction of the prices. Thanks muchly for any help!

maliboomer Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have no idea what length of your stay passes were, so the most I can do is refer you to http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/tickets.htm. They now use Magic Your Way passes, which starts as base ticket which you select how many days for and entitles you to one theme park per day, then you can add options like park hopping, meal plan, waterparks + more and no expiration. Those staying at a Disney resort recieve no sort of discount, just some perks (EMH, etc.). Maybe someone else can help you better. 8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzErik Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Length of stay passes were tickets that you could buy that were good for your entire stay at the resort. For example ours was good for the 16 nights we stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort. Once you passed like 10 days, any additional days were free.

DerekRx Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yes, as mentioned, its now the Magic Your Way pass. Basically, if you know there is 1 day you won't be there, you don't have to get a pass for that many days. The more days you get, the cheaper the ticket price.

coaster1 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah no choice anymore unless you do a vacation package. You only get the magic your way choice now which is a tad confusing sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I didn't know they got rid of them. That's too bad since I thought the concept was great. If you don't get to your hotel until around dinner time, you could still go to the park for a few hours rather than with a regular ticket where you wouldn't want to use a whole's day admission for just a few hours.

OzErik Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Silly isnt it? What happens if you are going to be staying at the resort for more than 10 days or so? Hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 If you are staying that long most guests would buy an Annual Pass or Premium Annual Pass. The length of stay often confused folks since they expired upon checkout regardless of how many days you used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterville Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 As has been mentioned by others, Length of Stay was discontinued starting with the 2005 season, although if you had bought one prior to 2005 they would honor it. Length of Stay was meant to help give the guest more of an all inclusive feal, meaning that they had unlimited use of the 4 major theme parks, the water parks, DisneyQuest, Pleasure Island and general admission to Wide World of Sports from the moment they checked in, (and for purposes of the pass you could check in early in the morning before your room was even ready), until midnight on your check out day. Sounds nice doesn it, not to have to worry about tickets and the lke, right? Well, those tickets were often criticised for being awful deals. The reasons being that as of midnight on your check out day, they totally expired no matter how much or how little you used it. Additionally, no matter how much the park tried to sugar coat it, you paid for each and every available park day. Take a day off to go visit another companies park, well you still get dinged for the Disney park you didn't visit? Take a day off to just relax around the resort, or use Disney's extensive recreational facilities, thats another wasted park day. The rub is that if you wanted to purchase the meal plan, or any other package plan of the era, it came with the LOS pass as standard equipment. Now with Magic Your Way if you want the LOS experience, purchase a MYW for the number of park days you have available to you, and fully load it up with both the park hopper and parks plus add ons, (but not the no expiration, I mean you want the LOS experience, right) True you may only get a total of 6 admissions to water parks, DQ, PI and WoS, but for most folks that should be plenty. Or use your new found flexibility to purchase only the park days or options you really need and save a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
