a question for the ticket experts...

[disneyholic family]

I don't know anything about tickets, since we always get premium annual passes...

however, my mom will pop down to join us for a few days (to celebrate her 78th B-day with us)..

so my question is tickets....
if she's coming for about 3 to 4 days and she's staying onsite with us, what are her ticket options?....

and let me take this opportunity to thank everyone on this board for all your help over the last few months....we leave in less than 2 days and your tips have been wonderful!

I have had friends come for visits who have bought 2 & 4 day tickets.
If I recall correctly AAA only offer ticket discounts starting at 4 day tickets.
If she thought she was going to return, she may consider 10 day non-expiring tickets, and just use the remainder another time.
Even CM discounts on park tickets are not big; only 10% off I think.

do you buy the ticket at AAA? she could do that before she comes down to join us...
i bet they have a website....i'll go look...

she did this 3 years ago for her 75th birthday and at that time i remember buying her a 5 day parkhopper.....or something like that...in fact....if i searched, i probably could find the unused day somewhere...although i don't know if that would help much...

My friends went directly to their local AAA and bought theirs.
