AAA, TDS or at the park...where will I get the best

[monalsw]

price on a 4-day hopper? I have AP's for me and the kids, just need the hopper for DH to finish up!

TIA

Get it at TDS or order it online so you can get the "pre-purchase" discount! It will cost you more if you wait until you get to WDW.

You definitely won't get the best deal from the parks. Disney offeres a discount if you pre buy the tickets online or at the Disney Store.

I am not sure if AAA has a better discount, but your best bet is to get on the phone and call both AAA and TDS and get their prices, and go from there.

I just priced these.....Disney Online has the 4 day pass advance purchase for $192.00 (per adult)
AAA has them for $198.00 (per adult)
I don't know what TDS charges

Do you have any contacts for the Federal gov't? The CWF there has the best rates. Here are some:
4 day park hopper- adult $180 child $145
5 day park hopper with two extra days! adult $ 236 child- $190
5 day park hopper- adult-$206 child- $165

What is CWF?

Civilian Welfare Fund. It is a place that gov't workers can get cheap tickets to everything. They beat all others including AAA, Ticketmania, and all the theme parks themselves. If you know of a federal worker ask them to get you tickets. They are allowed to purchase for family and friends. If you know someone that has a clearance but doesn't work for the gov't they can get them too. My DH works in a gov't building sometimes and has a clearance so he is allowed to buy these tickets. We don't need the WDW ones though as we get APs and they don't sell them. They do sell ones to all the parks including SeaWorld, Universal, and the others.

So...if you pre-order 4-day park hopper passes from Disney in order to get the $192 rate, where do you pick them up in the park? If you are staying in a Disney hotel, do they just automatically add it to your room key?

Does anyone know where you pick up your pre-ordered/pre-paid Park Hoppers on site? Has anyone done this before? Thanks

 

[fletcher21]

Kaabost, if you order the tickets online Disney will send them to you.

If you get them at the Disney Store, you will either take them home with you, or, if they don't have them in stock, they will mail them.

From the Disney.com ticket FAQ:

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wa...:5;;prevtrxstate::5#WDWPostWillCallTicketsFAQ|

Q. I ordered my tickets for will call, when and where can I pick them up?

A. Will Call orders are only available at The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and ticket orders placed before midnight (Eastern Standard Time) can be picked up the next day. Upon arrival, pick up your will call ticket order at one of the following ticket sales locations: Epcot®, Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, Disney- MGM Studios or the Ticket and Transportation Center at Magic Kingdom® Park. Please present your confirmation along with a valid photo I.D. (e.g. driver's license, passport, or military I.D.), at any ticket sales location listed above.

I don't think they can be added onto your room key this way but I'm not sure.
