10 day World Pass - Just got mine!!!

[akghutton]

Steve and others, who have received their 10-day passes:

I received my 4 adult 10-day passes from Virgin Travel yesterday and was a little surprised by how they looked. I had read this description of the passes, which was posted by a UK poster under the "Disney passes- potential bargain" tread a month or so ago, and so I was expecting the passes to look like the following description:

"The Disney store in the UK are now selling these tickets until the end of May and are valid for use for 20 days from the first day of use - I purchased mine on Firday and they are great - Plastic like a credit card with the 100 years of Disney logo, you also get a voucher for a Character breakfast included in with the ticket - the following is printed on the reverse of the ticket

10 DAY WORLD TICKET SPECIAL OFFER GUEST
your 10 dya world ticket entitles you to 10 days of admission to the following parks with the freedom to visit multiple parks on the same day

MAGIC KINGDOM park Disney MGM studios
Epcot Disney ANIMAL KINGDOM theme park

Disneys blizzard Beach water park Downtown Disney Pleasure island
Disneys typhoon lagoon water park Disneyquest indoor interactive theme park
Disneys wide world of sports complex "

My passes look much more like park hoppers; they are a sturdy paper ticket with a picture of a Disney character on the front of each pass. On the back of the tickets are the normal ticket warnings and details with the 10-day park hopper pass printed at the bottom.


Is this how yours look, or do they look like the description by the Uk poster from last month? Just want to make sure that there hasn't been any mix-up.

Mine are the same as yours. They are thick paper with the characters on them. They look like the 6-day hoppers that I have left over from last time except they don't reference the millennium celebration like my old hopper does.

akghutton and RUDisney,
Did your passes arrive regular US Mail? I want to know which delivery service to look out for What date of departure did you give them? Did you get a second email telling you they were shipped?

I ordered mine fron Virgin on 5/17, my credit card was charged on 5/20, but I haven't received my passes yet. I'm wondering if I've made the cut-off or not. I did give my travel date of 6/17, so I guess that may be the hold up as they state they will ship 10 days prior to date of departure.

Oooh, the waiting is the hardest part!

 

[akghutton]

RUDisney - Thanks for the quick reply. I am relieved to hear that there was not a mistake with my tickets. I can't wait to use them!!! 79 days and counting

 

[akghutton]

DizMare,
I only received one e-mail from Virgin, which confirmed my order. I gave a departure date of 6/10/02 and received my passes on Wednesday. They arrived through the regular mail service, and I had to be home to sign for them, they wouldn't leave them with no one home. If you put the 17th as your departure date, I imagine that they will come late next week.

 

[DizMare]

Excellent, akghutton! Just the info I was looking for. I'll be scanning the horizon for the mail carrier!

 

[RUDisney]

I received mine via USPS. They left a card for me to sign. I left it pinned to my mailbox for the mail carrier to see. They left the package between my screen and regular door as I had indicated on the package. The slip also gave me the option of picking it up at the post office or assigning an agent to get it for me. If all else failed, my neighbor works for the post office and I was going to assign him as my agent.

I had also selected 6/10/02 as my departure date.

 

[DizMare]

Thanks, RUDisney! (Gotta love these boards!!)

The scanning and email idea worked great but now they are telling me my card is declined Ahhhh so i call the bank and they said they have ot declined anything. I told them to try in again and if not to cancel the order and i will end up buying annual passes.

Not a good day for credit cards, I was charged 2 times yesterday by the courtyard marriot and I have to call them now.

Got mine yesterday (6/3)! I ordered mine fron Virgin on 5/17, my credit card was charged on 5/20, I gave them a June 17 departure date.

As previously posted by others, they look like regular park hopper passes.

Hooray! Many thanks for the tip!

I am hoping that the Flight Shop runs this special again.

If you read my earlier post about having problems with my credit card, it turns out that my bank had disabled my credit card by its fraud dept. I am still pissed becasue I called 3 time to finally find out why It wouldnt work and by than it was to late.

Does anyone know if these tickets are good for November and December, 2002. If so, where do you get them and for how much ?

 

[LisaNJ25]

I just wanted to say if anyone is looking into The Flight Shop that what great customer service they have.

As explained my earlier posts I placed an order for the tickets but than had problems with my credit card. Turns out my bank referred my account to their fraud dept and disabled my card because of all the unusual activity.

Well I emailed Flight Shop to see if they would be having this promotion again and I explained my problem and they emailed me back and said they could complete my transaction because I had it in before the deal ended! Woohoo my card was successfully charged today and I should have the tickets in a few weeks.

Just last night I was figuring out the days and which days I could not go to a park and now I will be all set.

That's GREAT news, Lisa!

I, too, was very impressed with flightshop. Had them charge tix to me in NJ but mail to Ireland. They were quick, efficient & happy to comply! Hope they do it again next year. I'm now a loyal customer!

Have a super trip! Enjoy ALL of the World EVERY DAY!!! I know we will!

 

[Jen80370]

I got the tickets one week after I ordered them...I was truly impressed. On a related note...how are we supposed to protect these paper tickets?

Just to let you know Virgin have extended the expiry date
to 12/31/02 although they have also put their prices up aswell.

Price is now £237.50 or about $332.50 which is an increase of about $66 on the original offer.

 

[presleyg]

so will virgin sell to the US or have they changed their policy since there has been such interest? aslo, does anyone know if the DQ with these passes is just one time or unlimited for the 10 days?
