buying park tickets

[s.burnett-34@tiscali]

We have booked to stay at mobile home at Crecy. We could book park tickets via booking agent Autoplan too but we thought we might be able to get them cheaper elsewhere. The lady at A'plan did warn me that some online sites' tickets are valid for specific days so to be careful when ordering. Does anyone know of this problem? We are going to the mobile home for 9 nights and intending to visit DLP on 4 days via hopper tickets. Where would the best and cheapest place to buy tickets from be? Thanks - very new to all this!!

.... as these can often work out cheper than hopper tickets and have additional perks. Check out The Very Useful Information thread

For park hopper tickets, try 365tickets or attractiontix.

I have got tickets from attractiontix in the past, and they were valid for one year from the date of issue (you have to specify the first date you need the tickets by when you order them).

As Ruthie has said though, you might be better off considering annual passes, if you're intending going to the parks for 3 days or more.

This link gives you details about annual passes -

Hi and thank you for replying. Just looked at annual passes and using exchange rate they'd be £95.87 so for 3 of us £287.61. Disney store would be £251 for 3 of the hoppers. That's a £36 difference to use up in car parking (£5 a day?) and discounts on the restaurants - as we haven't been before I don't know if we'd save enough? Or could one of us buy an annual passport and use that to get free parking and food discounts while other adult and one child hoppers? That would be £280. Would we be allowed to mix our ticket types like that? Gosh this is a minefield - thanks ever so much!

Yes only one of you needs the AP to get the discount in the shops/restaurants although they do have to be the person making the payment (as it uses a photo as id)

But by the three of you having annual passes it means you won't need to buy tickets for your next visit!

You can mix and match your tickets as much as you like .

You do only need on annual pass to get the discounts for the whole party - Fantasy gives you 10% discount on almost all food you'll buy at the park and the Disney Village, plus you get discount on shopping too.

Hi s.burnett-34 and welcome to DLP DIS board
We are a friendly bunch here so please join in on any other thread or if you have a number of questions then just start a new thread for each

If you have not had a look yet, DLP posting rules are here, DIS posting guidelines can be found here.

The normal break-even point is around 3 days so it may be worthwhile considering annual passports (AP)
Have a look at the sponsor thread here as you would be able to get a further 10% off the price of your AP by being sponsored

they are also doing a ticket offer on hoppers where you get 4 days for the price of three, it's on the main website under tickets!
