anyone find a better rate on hoppers than this?

[travelitis]

http://www.paramountinternationaltravel.com/ has 6 day hopper plus including a character b-fast for $215 chd/ $262 adt. plus $15 shipping (We're buying 5 tkts). They also offer a 5 day value pass if you don't want a hopper.

At SoG a 6 day plus is $218/$270 and doesn't include b-fast.

Florida Orlando Tickets charges $220/$274 for 6 day plus (no b-fast.)

Disney's advance purchase for 6 day plus (no b-fast) is $222/$272.

How does Connections compare?

If this is the same promotion they had last week or the week before it isn't for people who live in the US.Someone posted about this.

I just received my 6 day park-hopper-plus via UPS today, with breakfast vouchers. I am in the US. It was definitely the best deal - cost me $969 for 2 adults & 2 kids. The breakfast vouchers alone are worth $100 - then you get 6 days & 3 plus features.

[champdds]

Can you use the voucher for the character meal if you already have the PS for it ?


David:p

[A kid at heart]

yeah, the voucher is basically your form of payment for the meal.

[antkim]

Sorry for the WRONG info!Hope you all forgive me!haha

A kid at heart,

What if I bought passes from them and got three vouchers, but will have five at the breakfast...do I simply pay the difference ?

Thanks

David:p

[ls1222]

how were you able to get these 6 day PHP w/ breakfast in the US? I emailed Paramount and they told me these were only sold internationally. Thanks.

[renzdr]

Are the breakfast vouchers the same as the ones you can buy from connections where they include tax and tip? Do you think they can be used for Cindy's?

There is a list of participating restaurants on the back of the breakfast voucher. IIRC, another poster reported that CRT is NOT included.

[ehallison]

Cinderella's breakfast IS listed on the voucher I just received.

I received an email today about my concerns with the low cost (what's the catch)...if you read it carefully, you will notice that she states the 6 day hopper is for international sales ONLY. I also have problems with a response from customer service that is so full of spelling errors, and otherwise terrible grammer that I cannot believe they are that reliable a company. Just my opinion !!

Here is the exact copy of the email:

We are a wholesaler company and for the reason our rates are cheaper.
Not all the tickets offered by us, are available to the public at the gate, they might be similar but not the exactly the same.
An exempla is the 4day park hopper plus. Disney will sell without the plus which offers the water park 1 day.
We understand that you may have issues and concerns.
Out attraction tickets are issued by Disney, and come with our company name printed on it.
If you do not fell comfortable, please by directly from Disney.
If you want to by the tickets with us and pick them up at our office and meet us, we are here Monday - Friday 9 - 5 p.m..
Our tickets are good, and never had problems with any of our customers.
Breakfast vouchers are only available with the 6 day and 7 day park hopper plus.
6 day can only be sold for the international market.
Not good for the US.
I hope my answers will help you make your decision.
If you still have questions please call us at 1888-281-2266 ext. 215, or 407-841-0134
Have a great day!

A more likely explanation is that English is the writer's second language. (FWIW, many of the posts written by those of us who claim English as a first and only language are also full of spelling and grammar errors, yours and mine included). As she says, anyone who isn't comfortable with the company should buy directly from Disney.

I have personally purchased two 7-Day PHP tickets and one 5-Day PHP ticket from this company. The tickets were exactly the same as I could have purchased from Disney itself. (I did not get any breakfast vouchers. Those are intended for the international market although some have posted no trouble using them even though they are residents of the U.S.). The tickets I purchased (over the phone with a credit card) were used last month without a single problem. There were no problems with the credit card charge, either.

Based on my experience and some other posts, I believe this is a legitimate, reliable online broker. I will use them again if their prices continue to be so good. JMHO.

[ehallison]

Agreeing with Carol...I am happy with my tickets and their service.

P.S. Champ, you spelled grammar wrong. Just thought you might want to keep that in mind when you are posting criticisms of others' grammar & spelling.

Its deja va all over again. :teeth: We had a very similar discussion in February and March concerning this ticket vendor: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=164168&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
Here is my OPINION about Paramount. I think that they are a legitimate WDW ticket vendor who is SUPPOSED to be selling to the international (ie European) market. WDW has developed different tickets for this international market - generally they are longer hopper tickets that DO expire within a particular amount of time after the first use. This is due to the fact that internationals tend to travel to the US longer than our standard one week vacation here. BUT they WILL allow people from within the US to purchase these tickets if asked. BUT they are not SUPPOSED to be marketing to the US.
Now that is my opinion and I may be way off base. But we have seen several people like CarolMN who have used this vendor and their tickets with no problems.


Just my 2 cents.

[travelitis]

I read those threads which is how I heard about Paramount. I feel they're legit, but I just wanted to know if anyone has found a better deal. With the b-fast vouchers it even beats our military discount, although different bases can offer different prices. We're in the process of checking into that before we buy from Paramount.

[champdds]

Very good grammatical correction of grammer..I must admit I noticed it after I posted it, but didn't want to go and edit it, especially since I was curious if anyone would notice the irony.

However, I still stand by my opinion that this email was not a quick post on a message board, but a business response to a potential customer which should not leave me believing I am dealing with a complete hack of a company. In my opinion, a company should have only their top notch people dealing with the customers, so that a bad first impression is not made.

David:p

Howd'ya like the run on sentence !!

[BethR]

I caution everyone to not allow this thread to detiorate into name calling and personal attacks. We are discussing the merits of purchasing from Paramount. Let's allow THAT to be the focus of this discussion and not anything else.
People make their decisions on dealing with a particular company based upon many different factors. What is important to one person may not be important to another person.

[travelitis]

Another thing I noticed was that Paramount offers a 3 day hopper plus for $169/$130 which is perfect for my SIL. I haven't found these anywhere else.

[antkim]

See,I wasn't wrong about the 6 day pass!It is for international only!!!Funny though,this whole ENTIRE subject right down to the grammar is the company's response was just touched upon last week in GREAT detail.

Antkim,

What is the post heading, I would be curious to read it..

David:p

[champdds]

Actually found it...haven't had time to read it all, but thought I would post the title..


"I Found hopper tix that include Char. Breakfast "


David:p

[travelitis]

I've read the whole thread, actually there were a couple about Paramount. However, my question isn't if they are reputable but if anyone has found a wholesaler with a better rate. If they'll sell me the 6 day hopper with b-fast like they have some U.S. customers I'm grabbing it (unless we decide on APs).

[ehallison]

I checked around before buying mine & found the 6-day pass was the best deal. Now, I wouldn't call them and say "Hey, I'm in the US, will you sell me this pass?" - because it sounds like they'll say no. But they don't seem to have anything in place to prevent US folks from ordering on the internet - like I said in an earlier post, I received mine without a problem.

[antkim]

From what I understand when you enter your information(address) they will send you an e-mail saying it is not available in the U.S.

[ehallison]

They did not do this to me...I received my 6-day tickets on Wednesday with no problem.

[Daftman]

I would just like too add my support for Paramount.

I am from the UK and have recently purchased the Fun in the Sun 30 day pass without any problems at all.
I ordered and received my passes within 7 days of the initial order and found them to be very professional whenever I had cause to contact them.

Regards

Sean.:) :) :)

[Jennyfyar]

I remember the discussion in Feb/March about this company and I
have been waiting to order my tickets until closer to our trip. For anyone who purchased the 7 Day hopper Plus, is there any expiration date on the ticket? The companies description says no restrictions, but I want to be safe if we don't end up back at WDW next year.

Thanks.

As mentioned in other posts, I purchased two 7 Day PHP tickets and one 5 Day PHP ticket. They do not have any expiration date printed on the ticket. The tickets have a picture of a character and the words "100 Days of Magic" on one side and all the usual small printing (same as all other WDW tickets) on the other. To me, they looked exactly like tickets that I purchased from the Disney Store in the past. The Paramount tickets were used last month (August) without a single problem.

HTH.

[baileybrad]

A couple of questions...I went to the site for Paramount and saw 7 day PH tix for $284 per adult (around $40.60 a day) and 6 day PH w/1 breakfast for $262 (around $43.67 a day plus a breakfast. Do these prices include sales tax? I understand how some folks have not been able to purchase the 6 day tix because of residency in the US, I wonder if this is true for the 7 day? It is odd that some have been rejected because of living in the US when their website is set-up with a default to the US for both the credit card and mailing address. We are definitely considering these tickets, we no longer belong to the DisneyClub (they are slowing eroding the benefits of the "new" program just like they did with the old one, imho) and the best next price that I have seen is thru kingdomtravel's website at $306.50 for a 7 day hopper including tax. I read that some mentioned that an international id might be required to gain admission thru Paramount...it seems to me that the proper answer is that the tickets were given to me as a gift and were most likely purchased by an overseas relative and mailed to me.;)

[Muffy]

I purchased three 10- day park passes from them last month. They were very promp and I am very happy with the passes. I will use Paramount again.

The prices listed on Paramount's site DO include taxes. (It does so state at the top of the page and I found it to be absolutely true). There are no restrictions on purchase of the 7 Day PHP tickets. Those tickets included 4 plus options and are exactly the same as are sold at the WDW gates, resorts or Disney Stores. There are no restrictions on the 5 Day PHP tickets either. As far as I know, any restrictions are listed on the web site under each ticket's description. I have no firsthand info/experience with any of Paramount's tickets other than stated above. HTH some.
