10 day World Pass - Just got mine!!!

[dvcer97]

Ok the first oder was rejected becuase my travel date was too close for shipping so I reordered using a further date of June 20 and I called my CC Yesterday and they aprrove the charge so I hope it was for the second order. Since according to their email they could not process orders from the us via website for the first order. I will send an email to them with the order #s. 3 tickets not 6. I tried calling them but I can;t seem to get through maybe it is the country code. I dial 0441493306504 . Thanks

DVC California- it's not an option, thanks anyway. I"m glad that most of ya all are gonna save some bucks though. We'll prob. look into another ticket option for this year and hope that the uk passes will be available next year.

I ordered my passes on Sunday and have been checking my credit card every day. Watching these posts I started getting nervous. The charges posted to my account today (Friday) . I bought 3 adult passes and was charged 850.78 about 283 piece. Can't wait til I finally have them in my hand. Thanks for all your help!

Charge has cleared my bank also - it cost me $235 for a child pass! I can't thank you enough Steve.

Just rec'd our 4 adult 10-day World passes from www.theflightshop.co.uk. I first learned of these over on the UK board and posted my story there and I think here a few weeks ago! At that time, flightshop was much less than Virgin but charged $80 s/h to USA. I ordered thru flightshop on-line, had them mailed to friend in Ireland to avoid s/h charge(with OK from flightshop) and have just rec'd them from Ireland. My AMEX was charged $1124.32 for the 4 adult passes (or $281 each). This is perfect for our 10-day stay- at $28 per day per person how can this be beat??? And FREE b'fast...including tax & gratuity! So thanks Steve and everyone who spread the word! Oh-flightshop price is 188 pounds sterling. Check their website for more info!

There's another thread on these budget boards about a Florida Fun in the Sun Ticket that describes 30 day passes meant for Europeans...anyone have info on Paramount Travel?

 

[DVC California]

Paramount International Travel is based in Florida and their website is www.disneyareainfo.com .

There was lots of discussion on a thread a couple months ago on whether they could do US sales of UK market tickets. There was also a question on their BBB rating but I can't remember the outcome.

That thread can be reached by clicking this:
I Found hopper tix that include Char. Breakfast

I agree that the "Fun in the Sun" Pass looks interesting. Maybe it will be around next summer for another trip.

I inquired about purchasing the Fun in the Sun passes, and the company told me that they cannot sell these passes to US citizens.

Thank you for the information. I just ordered my tickets

I called Paramount International this afternoon. I spoke with Juanita and she said that they have not sold these tickets for at least 2 months, and had no idea they were still being offered on their website.

My passes came today in the mail. (5-29) I ordered them on 5-19. There was no shipping charges and no insurance charges. I ordered them from Virgin travel. We leave in 3 1/2 weeks can's wait!

AHHHHHHHHHH

It figures I placed my order with Virgin for park passes 2 days ago and I just got this email:

Dear Mrs XXXXX

With regard to the above booking reference made on our website, unfortunately we are unable to accept any overseas bookings. We are currently in the process of showing this on our website.

The booking will be cancelled immediately. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused to you.



Kind regards

shucks...they're onto us. If you got them early...good for you!

Jen80370,

Did you end up ordering from the Flight Shop? I was just reading an earlier post that you contacted them bit I didnt know if you went through with the actual sale.

Looks like Virgin is now consistently turning down orders from the US. I've heard from two people about this in the past few days.

The Flight Shop appears to be the only alternative left... its web site states explicitly that it DOES ship to the US. However, there is the $80 shipping fee to take into account. Since the Flight Shop charges slightly less for the passes and they are already a bargain, might be worth it.

Thanks Mary...

I went ahead and ordered from the Flight Shop.

I received my tickets in the mail today. If I procrastinated like my husband wanted, I would have missed Virgin's cutoff window. Seems like they stopped taking Yankee orders on May 21st. Luckily, I committed on the 20th. Hmmm, maybe I should have played the lottery that day too since luck was on my side.

 

[akghutton]

I ordered my passes from Virgin on May 18th and received them yesterday.

I am sorry to hear that they are no longer taking orders from the US. I hope anyone still looking to get these passes is able to through the Flight Shop. Good luck!

 

[LisaNJ25]

I just got an email from the flight shop and they need me to fax my credit card if I want to place the order and they must have it bt 3PM GMT time..

O fcourse at the moment I have no access to a fax machine. Where will be the cheapest place to go? Staples? Office max? I am sure its goign to be alot for an overseas call through them.

Also anyone know what time 3PM GMT time equals in East Coast Time?

[Jen80370]

Lisa, do you have access to a scanner? I scanned the xerox of my card and emailed it to them...free. By the way...by tickets came on the 30th...yesterday. Now THAT's fast!
