Uh oh - that does not sound good. Please let us know what they say when you call.

It's too late to beat the increase now, but I'm just wondering if there was some way I could have upgraded to a 5-day Park Hopper online or over the phone?

No you can't upgrade over the phone, only in person.

Well my bank thought it was an unauthorized payment for some strange reason. And the money was out for over a week. Thought it kind of strange but Disney fixed it for me. I have to hold on to the new confirmation number as I no longer have E tickets. No straight through the turnstiles for us! But at least it is fixed.

That's a new one! But glad it got fixed.

And it is a question that may have been asked on this board before but I am having difficulty finding it. One of the local grocery chains here tend to leave out admission tickets with old prices well after Disney has increased prices. I may sound a bit cheap on this but I wanted to see if anyone knew if Disneyland would honor the ticket price if the ticket was purchased after a date took effect? The tickets aren't authorized until you purchase them so I am not sure that Disney would want the difference when we got there. Not trying to beat on the mouse too much, but we are looking at this being our last trip there if the increases continue. It may even be a gamble to see if they do it again this year but I thought I would ask. That was what is being saved can gain a few more pennies before the trip...lol

Once you purchase a ticket you won't have to pay extra when you get to the parks. Here's a thread where it is being discuss, and the thread has a link to the company that provides the tickets to the supermarkets.

I saw this at our local grocery store but in the fine print on the back it said that they had to be used by May 28, 2012... No go for us!

I would bet that ticket had Buzz Lightyear on it. Those were the ones that had to be used by May 28th. Its the three day hoppers with Mickey on the front for the $211 I believe.
