2 or 3 day park hopper?

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

I read somewhere that a 2 or 3 day park hopper do exist, but where can I find them?

Also, where can I call to find information about trading in my Florida Reisdent 4-day to play pass for an annual pass?

Any info would be great!

thanks

Disney doesn't offer a 2 or 3 day hopper pass. Sometimes the discount brokers will offer them, but lately, they've been hard to find.

If you have not used your 4 days to play pass, simply take it to any Guest Relations location. (Guest Relations is located at each of the 4 theme parks, as well as a location at the Downtown Disney market place - across from Pin Traders, and another location at Downtown Disney West Side, across from the bridge to Pleasure Island)

If you haven't used your ticket at all, you'll be able to upgrade the ticket. You will be offered a credt for the full amount Disney originally charged for the ticket. (If you got it from a broker, you will receive a credit for what the broker paid to Disney - not what you paid the broker). You can then apply that to any ticket that costs more than your original pass cost - in your case, an annual pass.

If you HAVE used the pass, you can still upgrade within 7 days of the first use of the pass. If your pass has plus options, and you've used any of them, you will only be able to upgrade to a premium annual pass. Your annual pass will be backdated to the date you first used your pass.

If you HAVE used the pass, and the first use was more than seven days ago, you will be offered a DOLLAR CREDIT. They offer you a pro-rated credit based on the price that Disney originally charged for the ticket. (See above about the brokers )

HTH!

I think a few years back they used to have them but now a 4 day hopper is the minimum. Just remember that those tickets never expire!! If you only use 2 days on a 4 day hopper you can use them again anytime in the future. We went in Sept. and used remaining days from a 5 day hopper pass purchased in 1996. The 5 day hopper at that point was only $98!!!! I wish I would have bought a few extra passes back then!!!

Dan,

I used 2 days on the pass but I purchased it back in August. I am going back in December (10th) and I was hoping to upgrade to the Annual Pass (im a florida resident)...by then the pass will be expired (it expires sometime in november, I believe the 20th) is there still a chance for it to be pro-rated at all?

How much does a Florida resident annual pass go for these days?

thanks for all the info!

I'm not certain, but I believe the credit would be based on remaining AVAILABLE admission. Since the admission won't be available in December, I would imagine you can't upgrade it.

An adult florida resident annual pass is $318.44.

 

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

Do you know of any numbers I can call to ask? Maybe I can do the upgrade the day before it expires and get something out of it? It'd be a bit saddening if I cant make use of the last two days on this pass.

thanks a lot!

Call 407-WDW-INFO.

When the prompts start asking what you want to do, push 8 to be connected to a real person. Ask them to connect you to Guest Relations. You can try asking the WDW-INFO operator, but I think you'll need Guest Services to answer your qeustion.

But before you call, it can absolutely be done the day before it expires!

 

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

Great! You've been a lot of help, Dan. Thank you very much!!!

I believe the FL resident Play 4 Days passes are a bit different from the rest of the passes as far as upgrades go. (I believe the upgrade policy is slightly more generous, but I could be mistaken)

Disney does offer 2 and 3 day passes, but I forget if they are park hoppers or not.

In January, we only had 2 days to spend at the parks. We went to the TTC ticket window to order a single day pass. We didn't want to buy a 4 day hopper. They asked if we were going to the parks another day and we said yes. They then showed us some unadvertised 2 and 3 day park passes. I don't think they were hoppers, but they saved a little money.

So they do exist, but they don't show up on any signs. You can only get them at the parks' ticket windows.

I cannot honestly say that I know of any 2 day park hopper passes. They may exist, I just don't know where!

I bought 3 day park hopper passes for Central Florida Tickets and Travel last January. Here is the website:

http://www.centralfloridatravel.com/

I bought them online and had them within a few days. Go to the Home page and register as a member. Then you will see the tickets listed. There is no cost to sign up and they have not hastled me at all since my purchase (no spam). Seems like a very reliable source.

 

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

Hey thanks!

Out of curiousity how much did the 3 day park hopper go for?

I'll sign up when I get home...

thanks a lot!

 

[Sandyincanada]

Yes, they do exist. Heres the link, I think you have to sign up for their newletter though. I've signed up and they emailed me this link and they haven't sent me anything since so no spam worries. Several other posters have bought through them with no problems at all.

Sandy, thanks for the link! This is awesome!!! You guys made my day!

thanks again everyone!

Those are what used to be known as "bounce-back" passes.

They absolutely DO sell them, but they do not allow park hopping privleges.

You can save $10 by buying 2 days at once, and $15 by buying 3 days at once.

They expire 4 days from first use, and you have to purchase all the days on the same day. For example - you can go to the ticket window, purchase one day, and on your way out of the park, change your mind and buy 2 more days and get the savings. (I think that's how the expiration and purchasing work....)

Your welcome, ahhhhhh. I plan on getting them too if/when they start offering them for 2005. We try to do it all...a few days Disney, a few at Univ/IOA , Busch Gardens and a water park if we can squeeze it in, lol. These are hoppers and even give you DQ or PI...pretty good deal. If you do a search. there is alot of info on these passes from this company. All good.

We bought our 2 day park hopper tickets a couple of weeks ago from discount orlando vacations. We will use them next week. They were very easy to work with and the tickets were in our hands fast.

 

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

out of curiousity, are they like regular tickets so that you can get fast passes n such?

thanks

Fastpass is available for ANYBODY entering the park, regardless of your admission media.

Rest assured that whatever sort of admission you purchase will allow to use Fastpass.
