Buying park tickets for children only

[DLPdaft]

Hiya,

This next visit to DLRP, I'm taking Dniece (7). DD and I have Dream passes, so we only need a 2-day hopper park ticket for my niece. Attractiontix wouldn't allow me to buy this online, as the lead name on the ticket (niece) isn't the same as the name on the credit card (mine).

So I went to 365tickets, and bought the ticket there. I've just had a telephone call from them, confirming I only want a child's ticket. After confirming this, the lady from 365 said she can't authorise and send out the ticket, the main dispatch office will have to do this on Monday.

I guess my question is, how does everyone else buy children-only tickets? Do you wait until you get to the parks, and pay gate price?

Am I right in thinking that you can buy a reduced price ticket for your Dniece at the gate seeing as you have a Dream AP? How does that compare with the ticket from 365?

As far as I can tell from the website, my Dream pass entitles me 20% discount on 1-day tickets, but doesn't say whether thats just one-park or park-hopper. One-park is not suitable, and even with my discount on park-hopper tickets, 365 are still around the same price.

Ahhhh, plus you don't want to have to waste time queueing up to buy the ticket each day. Hope you get it sorted out Monday.

You could buy your neice's ticket at a Disney shop in the UK. I am not sure if they are as competitively priced but it does save queuing.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that, another option to consider if things don't work with 365.
