Best Deal for Purchasing 5 Day Hopper -Florida Orlando Tickets

[SmallPointMe]

I just did a bit of research on getting the best and cheapest deal purchasing those very expensive Hopper Passes. Paramount was the cheapest by $23 but from what I've read on this site and Mousesavers, some people have had problems and I believe I read that they are not a member of the Better Business Bureau. I went with Florida By Choice, Inc., or Florida Orlando Tickets. They beat TicketMania's price for a 5 Day Hopper Plus Pass (1 adult, plus 1 child) by $5.00 and they gave me 4 options when I paid for 2 options. I also receive a free $2.00 phone card and all kinds of maps and free discount coupons at local area restaurants. Although USPS priority mail is only $4.00 they charge a standard $7.00 fee. All and All, the total price with the extra 4 options was $465.00 (tax is always included) for a 1 adult and 1 child 5-Day Hopper Plus Pass. Like I said, Paramount price was the cheapest but after reading advise on Mousesavers, I didn't want to risk losing $500.00 bucks.

I have not seen any negative posta about paramount actually its the other way around it has all been very positive experiences with them.there is alot of threads on this board about paramount,do a search and it will show all of them.i will be using them in the next couple of days to order our 7 day PHP tickets

Paramount is fine! I bought 2 adult and 1 child 7 day php with a character breakfast for our January 2003 trip. I ordered the tickets on Thursday, faxed the confirmation and received the tickets by Tuesday. Had no problems with the tickets or the character breakfast vouchers. Would definitely use them again--especially if they have the best price.

I bought a 7 day php from Paramount in Dec during my stay for Dis con. I had great service. They give you a real ticket like Disney does--not a voucher and I got a breakfast voucher. I used mine at Boma's and it was very good. I wouldnt hesitate to use Paramount again and probably will get some park hoppers from them for our Oct visit.

Just wondering - with the charactor meal voucher - does it get you any help with actually reserving a charactor meal or is it just paid for if you happen to be able to get one reserved?

Actually, I don't say on MouseSavers that anyone has had problems with Paramount. Here's what I do say:

I have had many good reports from readers about Paramount International Travel, but I will warn you that they do not belong to the Better Business Bureau and have not been responsive to BBB requests for information, so use Paramount International Travel at your own risk!

Just stating facts -- not claiming they are a problem.

You must still make your own PS's with the voucher. All it does is pay for the meal, not help you get a spot.

I have seen several times, posts relating to getting a free beakfast voucher w/ Paramount ticket purchase. I did not see anyhitng like this listed on their website - is the breakfast a special that is now over or can I still get the vouchers with an upcoming purchase?

Thanks for the inside scoop

 

[4greatboys]

Its no longer listed but you do still get the voucher with the 6 or 7 day php. I used mine in Dec at Boma.

I am looking for 3A +1C 5 day PH tickets...not Park Hopper Plus. We don't need plus. The best price I've found was Maple Leaf Tickets at $229/186 but I don't know what they charge to ship.

Anyone found a better deal for 5 day Park Hoppers (not Plus)?

Anyone use Maple Leaf successfully?

The search function is disabled or I'd look myself.

Thanks

foodlover, Great catch on the disclaimer! It happens frequently, someone inadvertently mis quotes. Thanks for clarifying. I would have headed over to your site with the next click!

$4.35 for priority shipping (or thereabouts, I think a tad more... that was the postage on my envelope) and he included park maps. I really liked dealing with Omar... VERY helpful! Steph

My WDW park hoppers just arrived in the mail today from Maple Leaf Tickets via priority mail and included some pamplets also. The service was terrific and the delivery time was fast! I was nervous about purchasing online and sort of held my breath until the tix arrived safe and sound. I can't be happier with the service from them!

 

[SmallPointMe]

Never heard of Maple Leaf....learn something new on these threads everyday. I was also very pleased with the service I received from Orlando Florida Tickets. Glad it worked out for you and for me..........You know how nervous I was dropping that kind of $$$$$ over the internet.....well, just glad all the threads I have read from all the different agencies selling tickets has brought other customers the same super service. That was my last advance purchase and now I'm keeping myself busy hoping the Disney will change the hours for the last weel of May to have the Spectro Parade. Anyway, thanks alot for your reply, everyone is always so kind and helpful.

I have used Paramount twice to buy passes and will use them again. Awesome service and value!

I wound up at my local AAA office as the out of state AAA offices with lower ticket prices would not sell out of state. They were the same price as Maple Leaf, which was cheaper than all other online sources, and I have them in my hand.

Thanks for the help!

 

[megnsamsgrace]

because they weren't offereing the plus 4 special, only the plus 2... and since they don't expire, I would rather have the 2 extra plusses for a later date if we dont use all the days in 16 day trip... Steph

 

[shovelhd]

The variety of passes and prices amongst the various state AAA offices is both confusing and frustrating. They wound up costing about $10 less in total than TDS. Not a great deal but comparable to the online places. We did not want plus passes because we had decided that we were going to focus on the main parks only with no waterparks. Even though the plusses don't expire we don't believe in buying something in advance that you're not sure you're going to use.

Have fun!!!

Hi
This is my first posting. As I'm all the way over here in Australia where our dollar is only worth 60 cents US I am trying to save anywhere I can. I appears from the postings that Parmount are worth a look. Who and what are they and where can I find them?

 

[laurabelle]

michelletrex,
This will be my first time buying passes anywhere other than Disney or a travel agent. I've been doing alot of researching, there are several places to buy online from. Here are two that I've found to have consistant good reviews and prices:

http://www.ticketmania.com - free shipping, though I'm not sure if that would apply for you, just email for prices

http://www.paramountinternationaltravel.com/orderTickets.asp
