We just ordered ours on the phone (Disneyland reservations) today. They came to $189.00 for a 6 day hopper. According to the girl on the phone we saved about $40 per ticket by doing it this way. They will be there for us to pick up at DLH when we check in.
Why don't you buy the 5 day hopper and add on a day when you get there?
We got 8 day hoppers but we booked through Disney. I would get an AP but I live in Canada and won't be back within the year so it's not worth it to me.
Yeah thats my whole problem. I've already booked a hotel off the disney strip "a non disney hotel", other wise I would get the passes that way. No one, including my own local travel agents have the 6-8 day hoppers unless I book with a disney hotel.
You don't have to book at a Disney hotel. You can book at a Good Neighbour hotel. We are booked at Howard Johnsons. Maybe see if you can cancel your hotel reservation and rebook through Disney?
