Discount Park Hopper Passes

[snow whites dad]

HAS ANYONE USED "DISNEY TICKETS WEBSITE" OR "DISNEY- TICKET SHOP"
TO PURCHASE PARK HOPPER PASSES ON-LINE? THEY SHOW TO BE SELLING TICKETS ROUGHLY
$15 PER TICKET LESS THAN GATE PRICES. ANY EXPERIENCES HELPFUL.

I have not used those sites. I have used floridaorlandotickets.net . They have very good prices. Check out the 5 day park hopper which comes with 4 plus options. They do not advertise that on the site, though. E-mail them, and they will confirm. Used them last year, and there were, indeed, 4 plus visits on each ticket.

Make sure you are comparing prices that have tax included. That can make a big difference.

This year I will be using Omar at Maple Leaf Visitors Info Center. He will beat any price. Here's his info:

Maple Leaf Visitors Info Center
4647 West Hwy. US 192
Located Between Hwy. Mile Markers 13-14
Kissimmee, FL 34746
(407)396-0300
(407)396-4127 Fax
Toll Free 1-800-841-2837

He is recommended by the "Guide to an Affordable Disney Vacation" (or something like that) which has been very reliable in the past. He will mail out to you at cost or you can go by (not far from parks - near Wal-Mart, I think) and buy tix in person. He is also offering the 5+4 pass for $245, all taxes included.

Good luck.

bwvmary, tell me about the 5 day hopper plus. I am going to get tickets throught them. They are devintely cheaper than any where else. I am going to get 6 day hopper plus. that would be for 3 plusses . If what you say is true then I could get 5 day hopper with 4 plusses for cheaper?? How do you know this. I might go for this and save $100.00, my kids love BB more than any other park... Thanks,,,,Corvair

PLEASE CHECK OUT FLORIDATICKETSINC.COM I JUST RETURNED AND THEY ARE REPUTABLE ALSO THEY HAVE ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT THEY ARE OFFERING 5+4 FOR A LIMITED TIME FOR 243.95 FOR ADULTS AND 195.95 FOR CHILDRENS TIX AND THAT IS TAX INCLUDED

Corvair - Sorry - I just saw your post. The 5 day plus 4 is the same price as listed for the 5 +2. It's a special value ticket. It's the best deal I've found anywhere, and it never expires. Just call the number I posted and Omar will send you full pricing information.

I would definitely suggest the 5+4 over the 6+3. You'll save a lot, and you won't miss that park day if your kids love Blizzard Beach. My kids always want to go to BB, then do mini golf at WinterSummerland, then go back to BB. Definitely takes a full day. Paying for park entrance on that day would be a waste. Either way, you can stretch to 9 full days in parks.

I am going through Maple Leaf this year because delivery is a lot cheaper than through Florida Orlando Tickets - just $4 for delivery to hotel. Either way, you can get the 5+4. Maple Leaf's price is the same as Fl. Orlando Tickets. If you find something cheaper, he will match it.

Good luck.

I also used Omar at Maple Leaf Visitors Info Center. We went to WDW a few weeks ago. Prior to our arrival I called Omar and we agreed on a price (yes, he will beat ANY price). We chose to pick up the tickets (after shopping for the week at Super Walmart- very close) to save the delivery charges. Omar was a very nice man and a pleasure to work with.

Muushka,
How did you arrive at your price? Did you "bargain" back and forth, or did you just call and ask for what you wanted? I wouldn't know what price to ask for. Connections has 4-Day Hopper Plus (what we want) for $196.54. What would you ask to pay??

Thanks for any input!

buckeye,

Well, I found a price for what I wanted. I called Omar (who I had never done business with before) with the info from these boards. I proved to him what I could get my tickets for (I sent him the link with the price), and he beat it by $2.00 a ticket. I think in the future that I will just get tickets from him. He was a nice guy, trying find a market for his business and willing to please. I almost felt bad about getting him to come lower in his price! And most importantly, I trusted him. He even gave us the good advice before we left to write down all the ticket numbers on the back in case of theft. Beats buying from the mouse!

Also, Buckeye,

Remember that the Connections price will come with a trial fee of $1 or a full year fee of $80. I don't know what Connections is charging for shipping these days. Just call and get his price. If it is higher than Connections, tell him about your Connections price and he will meet it or better it. He is aware that Connections is making money by charging people on a yearly basis, but he will meet it anyway.

Have fun.
