You won't be able to find the UK 7-day tickets for significantly less than they currently are.

The best you can do is buy the American 7-day Magic Your Way Base ticket for around £312, for example from Orlando Attractions:

orlandoattractions/t...ay-base-ticket

However, the above does not include access to the water parks nor park hopping. You can only visit one of the 4 main parks per day.
This looks like a good deal to me. If I get these for 2019 it will be the will call option - so are these like etickets which you link to mde for fastpasses ? Another question - if I get magicbands at the airport can I then link these on mde and avoid having to do the will call thing ? Never used etickets or magicbands as we always stayed offsite but would be like to try for convenience.

Thanks for the advice - feel a large and very expensive purchase looming...

Yes. You'll get an email with a ticket reference number that you can link to your MDE account and book fastpasses.

Yes. You'll only need to exchange the Will Call e-tickets for plastic cards if you don't have any cards or MagicBands already. So if you buy MagicBands before you visit your first park then you can just use those.

Ticket are expensive and unfortunately the 7-day tickets aren't half the price of the 14-day tickets. (Or, to look at it another way, thankfully the 14-day tickets aren't twice the price of the 7-day tickets).

You need to buy them today though as pricing structure changes tomorrow.

Phone Orlando Attractions and speak to Tony and he will sort for you.

Just booked our MYW tickets with Disney direct. Wanted 1 day for 5 of us and 2 days for 2, so thought better to book today as gives us some flexibility with usage dates as I think from tomorrow the usage ability gets reduced.
From tomorrow, would have had to choose a specific day for 1 day ticket holders and for the 2 day ticket holders, these would have needed to be used within 4 days rather than the 14 days currently.
Be interesting to see if there will be any price changes.

Thanks everyone for all the advice, really helpful - just booked my 7 day tickets.

Had no clue about the pricing structure changes so this was well timed.

Woo hoo !

I’m sure I got better prices at undercover tourist when I went through a special link from mousesavers. Might help someone.

Make sure one of your party gets a uk ultimate ticket if you want the memory maker included for official photos etc.

Initially was leaning towards the 7 day ultimate because it had memory maker included but we don't want park hopper or water parks and it would work out a lot more for us (5 adult tickets). The 4 day plus 2 free days from undercovertourist is a good option as we get 6 days so could easily fit all our plans to that - comes in at approx. £308 including tax. Still shopping around at the moment. Although we're not going until April/May 2019 would like to get this big expense out of the way and paid for.

If I come across anything better I will post on here.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. Thanks Cindy

Ah, this is definitely something to consider. Thanks Nimbus!

You're welcome.

BTW, it appears that Orlando Attractions are still selling the old 7-day MYW tickets at the moment. However, I'm sure that will change in the near future.
