Special 5+4 Park Hopper + pass

[bwvmary]

Friends who came along last year got these, and they really have 4 plus visits. The only place I have found them is Florida Orlando Tickets. Price is $245 adult/$196 children. It was a great way to stretch the money over the days. I called, and they are offering this again, though their web site does not explicitly explain that there are extra plus visits. I was skeptical, but it worked great last year, so we plan to use these again this year.

Good luck!

Mary,

Could you please explain what this is. We have annual passes, but friends going with us this summer don't have anything yet. Thanks.

It sounds like a 5 Day Hopper Pass Plus with 4 Plus options instead of 2 Plus options.

Disney World Tickets
this is the link for the explaination.
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/waltdisneyworld/reservations/tickets/tickettypeindex?id=TKTParkHopperPlusTktType

Your 5-Day PARK HOPPER PLUS® Ticket entitles you to 5 days* of admission to the following Parks, with the freedom to visit multiple Parks on the same day:
Magic Kingdom® Park
Epcot®
Disney-MGM Studios
Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park
*Unused days never expire.

PLUS, a choice of TWO one-day[instead - 4 one day] admissions** to the following:
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
Disney's River Country Water Park (Open Seasonally)
DOWNTOWN DISNEY® Pleasure Island
Disney's Wide World of Sports™ Complex (Days of operation depend on event schedule)

[bwvmary]

That's exactly what it is. Sorry I did not clarify. I was on my way to a meeting. Note that you can use plus visits on days that you do not go to parks. So a 5 day with 4 plus options can be stretched out over 9 days in theme parks and water parks. That worked out really well for our friends. They even had a park day and a couple of plus options left over.

What's great about this deal is that there is no additional cost for the extra "plus" visits. The price from Florida Orlando Tickets is as good as the Disney Club price for a 5 day with 2 plus options.

What is the URL for Florida Orlando Tickets?

Just went out to Floridaorlandotickets.com and followed the links for Disney tickets specifically ended up at http://www.floridaorlandotickets.net/disney_park_hopper_pass.html
and it says the 5 day comes with 2 options. How do you get the ones with 4+ options??

[bwvmary]

www.floridaorlandotickets.net

I also checked on Connections. (www.connections123.com You have to join for a trial membership to get into the site. It's only $1, as long as you remember to cancel.) The 5day with 2 plus options there is $236 or so. They also offer a 4 day with one plus option for $196.50. I haven't seen other 4 days with a plus option. For comparison purposes, a 4 day with no plus options is $195 from Florida Orlando Tickets, or about $196 with a Disney Club discount. So, that's a free day at a water park or a free entry to Pleasure Island. All prices include taxes.

I'm doing ticket research for my inlaws and our babysitter and her friend right now. I think I've found the best options out there. If anyone knows of others, please let me know.

Hope that's helpful. Good luck.

Last year, the Mousesavers site said that these came with 4 plus options. The site said two. So, I called. They informed me that it was really 4, but they were not allowed to advertise that. Like I said, I was skeptical, but the tickets were priced as low as the lowest price for a 5+2, so I decided to give it a try. The tickets were, indeed, good for 5+4. I called yesterday, and the man who answered told me that the ones that they are selling now are 5+4 also. I have no reason not to believe him.

I put a note in the special instructions field letting them know that I had called and I expected a pass with 4 plus options.

If you feel too skeptical, then Connections has the best deal for a 5 day plus 2 that I have found - $236.

[musical2]

I found that the www.orlandoticketsales.comwww.orlandoticketsales.c om (http://www.orlandoticketsales.com) "An Official site of the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau" sells the 4 day with one plus option for $213.75.

I was curious about this. we bought the exact tickets for our trip last year and they worked out great. I emailed floridaorlandotickets.com and this is the response:

I have ordered tickets from Florida Orlando tickets three times now, and have been very happy with their services. I ordered the 5 Day Hopper with 4 options last year, and the tickets were exactly as advertised. There was a $7 delivery charge, and I also received a 30 minute phone card plus coupons to other local attractions and restaurants. In March I drove to the office at Mile Marker 4 on 192, and saved the delivery charge. This time the phone card was 45 minutes, and I even got a Mickey pin!

[vellamint]

Can someone please clarify for me......can I buy these tickets now but not use them until I want to......looking for future trips savings......1 1/2 years out!!

Thanks!!!

[corvair]

If I get 6 day hopper pluss pass which is 3 plusses would that give me 4 plusses like it gives the 5 day? Thanks ,,Corvair

[dgaston]

My understanding is that the extra plusses are only available on the 5 Day Hopper. When I ordered mine, Kelly explained that Disney didn't want them advertising the extra 2 plusses.

[corvair]

dgaston,,, Did you call on the phone or did you order on line??? thanks,,Corvair,,,,
These are tickets and not vouchers, right? I have looked on all sites and for what I want these are the best prices..Were you always happy with your tickets????

[corvair]

I forgot to ask,,, You can only use the plus days for the extra stuff right?? I can not you a plus for a park day can I?? thanks ,,Corvair

[jcanary]

I just phoned since our trip is not until next July, I wanted to make sure that we will be able to still use these then. they said that it states on the ticket that it never expires. I just hope the first day of use doesn't have to be this summer. I think I am going to try to order and state that i want to make sure the first date isn't specified in the ticket. Can;t wait.

[vellamint]

Let us know what happens.....I am considering buying these for a 1/03 or 11/03 or 2/04 (gotta talk hubby into it) vacation!

Thanks.

[jcanary]

I got a message that my tickets were shipped out and that there was not a mandatory start date. I will keep the note with my tickets so if I have any problems when I am down there I will go to their office and get it straightened out. I figure what's the worst that would happen, that I would only have two extras.

[Kaa]

Corvair,

The plus options are only good for the water parks, Pleasure Island and Wide World of Sports Complex. And the plus option is a visit - not a day. Once you leave that venue, you have to use another plus option to enter again.

[corvair]

Kaa, thanks your reply.. That is what I thought but I was not sure.. Corvair

[dgaston]

Corvair: I ordered online, but once Kelly needed to call me to verify some credit card info. I have always been happy with the tickets. We got some Planet Hollywood/Disney Quest combos, and some Pleasure Island tickets too. Again, if you can pick up the tickets there's no delivery fee. The staff was very pleasant in March.

[corvair]

dgaston... I am also thinking of Planethollywood/DQ package. How did you like that? Did you use the VIP pass? Do you think if we would go around 9:30 that we would need the VIP? Floridaorlando tickets is the cheapest I have seen any where, even cheaper than AAA ... Thanks,,corvair

[Talky_Tina]

If we have a regular 5 Day Hopper Plus which includes 2 options, can we do 2 of the same location options? For example - 2 days at Blizzard Beach?
Also, can we visit the 4 major theme parks whenever we want in any given day... sometimes going to the same major park 2 times in one day? Like going the the Mk 2 twice in one day? It gets pretty confusing the way Disney words this. We have always used the length of stay passes and am considering using the 5 Day Hopper Plus this time and just want to know if we can bop around from major park to major park like we did with the length of stay pass, with the only difference being the limit on the optional parks like the water parks. Sorry if this sounds confusing. Thank you!

[bwvmary]

You can go to the major theme parks just like the length of stay pass. The plus visits are "visits". So, if you go to Blizzard Beach, then over to Typhoon Lagoon, you have just used two visits, even if it's the same day. If you go to MK, then Epcot, then MGM, then back to MK on the same day, it's one park day.

Hope that makes this clearer, rather than more confusing.

Also, the 5+4 is priced the same as the lowest 5+2 price I have been able to find. If you find a cheaper price, Omar will match it. You may as well have the 5+4.

Have fun!

[disneyfan551]

You mentioned that you picked these up to avoid the delivery charge. Where exactly were they located? Did you have an easy time finding it?

Thanks!:D

[vellamint]

Ticketmania is offering this also......talk me out of buying these for my family of six!!!!!!!!

WE JUST GOT BACK!!!!!!!

We dont have another trip planned......or at least hubby is not aware of it.

I REALLY, REALLY want to get these and put them away for the next trip!!!!!

I really have Disneyitus bad.

[disneyfan551]

forget the above question about picking the tickets up...ticketmania is offering them with free s/h! :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[SuzyQue]

Once you leave that venue, you have to use another plus option to enter again.
Even if you get your hand stamped?? ~:)~

[Mary Rose O'Brien]

Thanks very much for posting this information, it enabled my family to get 2 more days of stuff to do on our upcoming trip. And I was just about to order the regular 5+2 pass through Connections - very thrilled - thanks again, the information I get from these boards is invaluable!

[gumdrop]

I took advantage of Ticketmania's 5 Day 4 Option passes. They are 245.00 which includes tax and shipping. Great service--recieved the tickets within days!!

http://www.ticketmania.com/discountMOUSESAVERS.shtml

[Alexander]

We too, bought our 5 Day, 4 Plus from ticketmania. Great deal, no shipping, tax etc. One Adult and One Child ticket was $450.

[halfway there]

Have these prices gone up in the past couple of days?

I notice that gumdrop says $245 but I just checked and its now $251 for adults and $199 for children which seems to coincide with Alexander's price of $450 for one of each. I'm wondering if I'd be better off at this point ordering from FloridaOrlandotickets since they are quoting a price of $246 for qdults and $196 for children. Are these actual tickets too like Ticketmania and do they really include the 4 pluses??
Anyone in the know??
Thanks!

[GoldenOldie]

You have to use the special MouseSavers URL to get the $245 price. gumdrop has it above:
http://www.ticketmania.com/discountMOUSESAVERS.shtml

If you check TicketMania's regular page, it is indeed $251.

Keep in mind two things:
1) that TicketMania will ship these for free while FloridaOrlandoTickets will charge you $7 shipping per order on top of their listed prices

2)that the 5 day PHP passes on FloridaOrlandoTickets are only 2 plus options, not the 4

[gumdrop]

halfway there: as golden oldie just posted, you have to click on one of our links to get the 245.00 price. I would take advantage of this ASAP, as I'm not sure when the offer expires. It states that the price will go back to 251.00 when the next mousesavers.com newsletter comes out, however, I'm not sure when that is. Remember that ticketmania.com includes tax and free shipping. floridaorlandotickets.com and from what I understand, only comes with the standard 2 options, plus shipping charges.

[sweetheart2576]

Floridaorlandotickets do see these with 4+ options. I emailed them back in may and this is what they wrote back.

I ordered my 5-day PHP from Florida Orlando Tickets, and it did indeed have 4 plus options.

[lolatuck]

Can anyone tell me if the plusses ever expire? The way I understand it is that the days at the theme parks never expire, but I am still unsure about the plusses. This is such a great deal I'm thinking of purchasing these now even though my trip isn't until June 2003.

Thanks for helping an ignoramus.

Lola

[SuzyQue]

Plusses never expire, just recently purchased ours for our February 2003 trip. ~:D~

[halfway there]

Thanks for the clarification and the link!!!!!:D
I did indeed have the wrong page but I have since ordered them from Ticketmania (at the lower price with no shipping charge) and hopefully they are on their way as we 'speak'!!
I just wish I had looked a little closer at the plus options. I didn't realize DQ was NOT included!:(
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is? Anyone think this will change anytime soon?? Probably not in time for my visit in August but since they never expire, there's always hope!;)
Thanks again everybody!!

[BethR]

halfway there,

I do not believe that DQ will be added as one of the "Plus" features. It has only ever been offered as a separate admission or as part of the Unlimited Magic Passes. I think that the reason for this is that the admission to DQ has always been more expensive than the water parks and PI.

But we can always hope, right? :)

[MollyBelle]

Thank you for all the testimonials about these tickets, Ticketmania, etc....I just ordered mine! This is exciting: myself and my 6 yr old daughter have ap's, we will be getting two adult park tickets from Marriott Grande Vista, and now I've ordered my husband and 3 yr old these 5 day hoppers for $440! I feel as if I've been hit by the fairy godmother! (not to mention the AWESOME deals we got in lodging at MGV and Calypso Cay!) -- this is an 8 night budget trip with mega pixie dust! (Now we can go to the water parks also for free -- yippee!)

Thanks again!
