Anyone from US ever used tix purchased in UK?

[kathyg]

I have read on Mousesavers that there are UK ticket brokers that sell 14 and 21 day passes which would be perfect for us (crunched the numbers and AP doesn't work). Just wondering if anyone from US has purchased these tickets and if there was any problem using them.

Thanks.

They will NOT sell nor will they mail tkts to the US.

I bought them last year and had no problem using them. I bought them from a us broker who advertised them as 14 or 21 day tickets. Never said they were uk tickets. He delivered to my us address and they didnt look any different then the reg tickets they were just good for more days. Please skip the moral debates and replys. They are a very reputable dealer and have been used by many people on this board. I wont name the name so they dont get 10,000 nasty emails from all the disney police on here that live to tell other disers how they are stealing and cheating and everything else they spew out of their disney god mouths. I dont mean to sound nasty I'm just really tired of all the people who jump on others on this board. So many Simple questions threads become nasty judgemental threads. For some reason there are some on here who ALWAYS feel they need to preach about whats right and wrong .

Why should anyone complain, if they are available here in the UK why shouldnt you buy them!

We are taking my family, who live in Sweden, to WDW in a couple of weeks' time. I have bought them the 14 day tickets - got a good deal prior to the price hike at the start of the year. The tickets were bought in the UK and shipped to a UK address. I don't think Disney is too bothered about where the end users live, the tickets certainly look very standard...

No moral debates here...just wanting to save money. I have read that these brokers do not ship to the US. However, we have friends in the UK and I just wanted to know if these tix were the same as US tix or willl I have a problem at the gate. After all, a dollar is a dollar is a dollar (or many more)

IMO the UK tickets are much better than the US tickets, certainly for what we were looking for anyway - hopping is free in ALL of them.

There are basically 2 main types:

Premium: any park, you can park hop, for either 5 or 7 days. If you get the 5 day ticket you get four visits to DTD, PI, TL, BB etc. If you get the 7 day ticket you get six visits to those. Upgrade to never-expire tickets for $55 (7 day) or $35 (5 day).

Ultimate: any park, park hopping and unlimited DTD, PI, TL, BB etc. These come in 21 day or 14 day lengths.

We got ours from orlando-ticket-deals.com who are VERY good. The price difference between a 7 day/5 day Premium ticket (Currently, there is no price difference between the Premium 5 day and 7 day tickets - so you essentially get 2 days free!) is £10 ($17). There's a £12 ($20) difference between the 21-day and 14-day Ultimate tickets. Even though we are only there for 8 days and a 7day pass would have sufficed, we ended up getting a 14-day Ultimate ticket because the £10 extra charge for an extra week of ticket AND unlimited PI/BB/TL was well worth it.

If you have someone in the UK who can recieve these for you and then post them over to the USA, why not do it? These are perfectly valid tickets and it's not like you haven't made the effort to get yourself the ticket best suited to you needs.
