5 day PH, no plus features?

[ktbugsmom]

Thanks for the information for the AAA pricing!

I called the Carolina office # and got the 5 day adult hoppers for $220 and the kids 5 day passes were $175! Given that Disney's advance purchase price is now at $244.95/adult and $195.96/kid - I saved almost $100 for 2 adult and 2 kid passes!

Okay - my trip is not until January 2005... but at least the tickets are purchased and will be paid for by then! Thank you thank you!

Now - does anyone know about any good flights from Wisconsin to Orlando?

Just called AAA Carolinas and hour ago. Told them I was a member in Southern PA and was in search of 5-day PH (my office only carries 5-Day PHP). I asked if it was a problem being from the PA office, she said "no". They took my membership # and put me on hold, got back on and said I would have to come to the branch office. I asked if they could be shipped and they said "No". The only thing I can think of is that they are receiving a barrage of calls and want to provide them for their local members?? Has anyone else tried and had success???

sweet tooth,

I had no trouble at all. I called the 800 number, gave her (her name was Edith, I think) my membership number and got 2 adult and 3 child 5-day park hopper passes for $220 and $175 respectively. There was a $10 Fed Ex fee and I got my tickets the next business day.

I know you can also buy them from the website. You might want to try that.

Good luck.

Boy SuzieQMomof3, we started a monster didn't we! I was the one who directed you to AAA in NC a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, if you guys go the AAA Carolinas website and search for office locations, you'll see that each office has a 1-800 number. I don't know if trying different offices will help or not. I bought my tickets the day before the Disney price increase in March and the local (Raleigh) AAA office had just printed a new price list that still showed $220.

 

[SuzieQMomof3]

ibleedblue, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I hope they're not catching on to us!


I've been put in charge of getting everyone's tickets now. My parents, my in-laws, etc. What's that saying about when you do something once it becomes your job forever? Well, that's me now.

I've been thinking I should really talk to my local AAA office and see if they will match the price.

Ha! That's me too! I made the mistake of booking everything for the last family trip, so guess what happened when we started planning last year? Everyone looked at me and said 'you're going to find the best place and book everything, right?' I couldn't say no, but we've got 30 people going this time so you can imagine what it's like trying to figure out who owes me what! At least the DV rewards are piling up!

Finally got them!! After trying the website (didn't work - kept wanting to send me to my home office due to the member ID) and calling two branches - I was referred to the main Hdq. and had no problem!! Yeah!!!!!!!

 

[SuzieQMomof3]

ibleedblue,

I couldn't imagine coordinating 30 people, the most I've ever done is 16. But think about it, would you want anyone else planning this trip for you?


I didn't think so.



Uber-planners, unite!

Thank you everyone. I'm karensi's daughter and have been checking prices.
We are looking into 4 PH, no plusses. The best I've found, so far is purchasing in advance off Disney site for:
$202 adult
$162 child
Then I called AAA (the 800 number SuzieQ gave) and got for 4 day hopper:
$199 adult
$159 child
AND, asked about the 5 day PH and was quoted:
$220 adult
$175 child
BUT, they will either send FedEx or they said I could go to my local AAA and pick them up there. I'd have to find out where my "local" AAA is though.
So, for another $20 we could get an extra day if we wanted. We arrive the Friday after Thanksgiving and wasn't planning on hitting the parks until Monday but maybe we will rethink about hitting them on Sunday too. Perhaps Epcot? Decisions, decisions... Plus the days never go bad.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got my tickets from the North Carolina AAA. The price was as quoted - $220/adults and $175/kids for 5 day hoppers. There was a $10 Fed Ex fee... but still a great deal.

Thanks again for the info!

I ordered our tickets from AAA in NC also thanks to this thread.
We ended up getting 5 day hoppers and the lady I had on the phone was also a Disney nut and she spoke to me for about 30 minutes LOL It was nice to get someone on the phone so into Disney, happy AND working LOL
She said that not all AAA are the same, each have their own president, prices, etc. She said that NC does not charge sales tax for theme park tickets but most other states do and she said that all AAA would have different prices. Thanks to SuziQ, my mom saved a bunch of money since she purchased our (family of 4) and her tickets for our upcoming November 26-December 5th trip. She said she will send a park map for me in the envelope along with the AAA Diamond Parking card for us that comes with ordering the tickets. Thank you all very much, this is why we love the DIS so much, everyone is so very helpful!

I just checked aaacarolinas.com and the 5day PH adult is now listed at $232, 4day is $209, plus $10 S&H. They must have run out of the old tickets. Checked aaanne (northern new england) and prices also went up...4 day PH, adult is $214, 5 day is $243, plus $4 S&H.

I bought my AAA tickets right from their office (also aaacarolinas--but I went to the Greenville SC office) and got the same price as those calling to NC. But, she did tell when we I bought them, that when those run out--the new PH's they carry will most likely be at a higher price since Disney raised their prices a while back.

 

[MateasMom]

Do their prices include tax? We are looking for 5 day PHP no Plus. Are there any better deals out there that anyone knows of?

Thanks

 

[wendyl]

Yes-those prices do include tax.
