Buying park passes @ Disney Store?

[LisaDougKaylee]

Does anyone know if you can buy UPH passes at the Disney Store? We're heading there tonight for another reason and thought we could pick these up at the same time...
Thanks

No, UPH tickets can only be purchased as part of a vacation package, or at the resort when you check in.

You cannot purchase UPH's at TDS. UPH's are not like other tickets. You can't just "pick them up". They are a special admission media that really don't exist in any form until you check in to your resort and the pass gets encoded onto your resort ID. UPH's are only put on resort ID's.

They can be purchased ahead of time with an advance purchase discount by calling CRO/WDTC and having them added to your reservation. You can add UPH's to any Disney reservation including room only.

Or you wait until you arrive at your resort to purchase them. This option costs slightly more (no advance purchase discount) but offers the flexibility of dropping your arrival/departure day if you need to. You can't do that when getting through CRO/WDTC.

Thanks so much for your responses. Seeing as how this is my first trip back since I was 8 yrs old....I know nothing!!! But I have learned a lot from these boards.

thanks also for the great explanation of the UPH not being of "real ticket media", I had no idea.

Thanks again!!!
