I did, still needed the one day, no big deal. I just will not do a Halloween party. Lol. So they will loose $$$.I always forget about that since usually we buy ticket for enough days we are there. Guess you cant delay the start day to better align with your stay?
I am not the wagon master, AKA the person in charge, but I dont think anyone would turn someone away that likes disney and the fort. Thats not in the camping spirit.So I'm a Fort Wilderness convert but I stay in the Cabins with my dog because I am the complete opposite of a camping person. Can I join this fun gathering of excellent people? I have a cabin booked November 3-9.

Just reading through. I found this sight on another thread here on this board. If you are buying a ticket for this long it might be worth looking into. It's a ticket that you buy on the UK sight but all reports on the other feed is that you don't have to be a UK resident. https://www.attractiontickets.com/e...walt-disney-world-resort/disney-14-day-ticket.I'm in the same position, Spencer.
We will be there 14 days and I priced out the 10 day hopper tickets. It was a little shocking. $900 when I think the same last trip 2 years ago was about $750. Ian is going to fly in and will probably still be there 9 or 10 days and he'll want to be in the park everyday. Donna is going to work one of the weeks, but will still want the option to go to the parks in the evening.
We've never done one of the water parks or mini-golf. We aren't into either. Ian and I would probably like the water park, but none of us care about mini-golf.
I probably do need to call Kenny and reserve a cart, but I didn't think November would be very busy, so I should have time.
November still seems so far off. I've been booking something for almost every other month starting in March, but knew I had the Fort locked up.

I did something similar when I went to DLP last year. Buying in Euros from a European link saved me a little money.Just reading through. I found this sight on another thread here on this board.

But my understanding is WDW requires you to show some form of ID when first using the international tickets. You may not have to be a UK resident, but I think you can't be a US resident.
EDIT: I'm checking out the link and I can't find anything that says you can't be a US resident. It says you link the eTicket within MDE. The exchange rate is good right now between the pound and dollar. The 14 day Hopper ticket comes out to $718 and this also includes the water parks. That's a pretty significant savings. I'm going to message them to confirm there are no exclusions for US residents.

Thanks Camilla,https://www.disboards.com/threads/buying-from-attraction-tickets.3933992/#post-65148551
Here is the link I originally found. multiple people says it works for US residents. Have a great trip.
You got better eyes then me. Sorry for making you dig. Sometimes when the deal it too good, it really is.Thanks Camilla,
The DIS Board post you included discusses using the UK tickets for someone coming from Australia. I checked out the ticket site. It gives you the option to select from a few countries, including USA. The UK version has the great deal on the 14 day Hopper/Water Parks/ MiniGolf tickets, but it also says "Created exclusively for UK and Irish holidaymakers". The other non-USA versions of the site (Germany, Australia, Netherlands) offer WDW tickets up to 10 days, like US tickets. Interestingly, when I select "English United States $ USD", no WDW options come up.

MDE also has a "Country" selection and billing and shipping address in your account settings.
I've read prior, when people from the US have tried using the non-US tickets being turned away. Since it worked for someone from Australia to use UK bought tickets, I suspect Disney tech is only smart enough to detect those of us from the US trying to cheat the mouse.
$150/ticket is a nice savings, I don't think I'm going to risk $718/ticket to see.
You also have a magical trip.

All good, we are all looking for $$$ relief these days.You got better eyes then me. Sorry for making you dig. Sometimes when the deal it too good, it really is.
I understand your decision.
When the DISMeet rolls around in several months, I hope you can still join us. Have you considered possibly renting a trailer to put on a campsite as a temporary solution?
I saw from your dates on post #1 of this thread that you planned to come for almost two weeks. But I checked this morning and I saw Tent/Full/Premium sites still available for your original dates.
Good luck to you down the road.

Count the wife and I "in".So our last actual "official" meetup as a big group at the Fort was in October of 2020. How do we feel about doing another in 2024? This would give us 2 years to save/plan. I'll volunteer to be ring leader unless someone else wants to. Was just thinking we're about due for another roundup at the Fort but wanted to give everyone enough time to make sure they could fit it in their schedule.
