Buying ticket headaches

[topcat011]

Ok, I am looking to buy my park tickets. I do know I want the hopper. Am not sure about the PLUSES. We are going in February and we do not use the water parks. We MAY go to Pleasure Island one night.
Can someone tell me exactly what are included in the pluses. I have read the sites but am sooo confused

Here you go:

Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, River Country (when open), Pleasure Island or Wide World of Sports

But keep in mind.... you cannot "hop" with the plus features like you can at the regular parks. For example, let's say you got the 5 day PHP (comes with 2 plus features per ticket). If you go to Typhoon Lagoon in the morning and Blizzard Beach in the afternoon of the same day, you have used up both "plus" features on your ticket. If you buy the plus and go to Pleasure Island two nights, you will use both plus features. Hope this helps................P

I think i have it down now. With a park hopper plus I can only use the plus once. So with a 5 day hopper plus I have 4 options. Since we dont use the water parks and only intend to go to the Pleasure Island once--3 pluses are not being used.

(who would have thought that purchasing tickets for Disney would be a long drawn out process..l0l

No... unless I misunderstood you or you are buying some ticket I have never heard of, the 5 day Park Hopper Plus only comes with two plus options, not four. Unless you are counting the two "plus" features on each of two tickets. That would give a total of four. But of course, that would still be only two plus features per person. ..................P

BEFORE I SUBMIT, let me clarify. Each person who holds a 5 day Park Hopper plus has the ability to enter the major theme parks (MGM, MK, Epcot, AK) on five different days, with the option to hop between parks on the same day. That same person also has the option of entering any of the minor parks (BB, TL, RC [now closed anyhow], PI) two times (no hopping allowed).

If you buy PHP tix for more than 5 days, they include more "plus" features. I believe the 6 day PHP has three "plus" and the 7 day PHP has four "plus".

Sound right?????????.......................P

It is not all that complicated once you understand the process and rules. Relax, you will catch on. Where are you buying the passes?

Some wholesale sellers have 5 day hoppers with 4 plus options, I purchased one earlier this year from Ticketmania. The cost 252.00 including tax and free shipping.

Wow....sorry, didn't realize such a thing was available.....P

I was looking at either Paramount or Ticketmania. Depends on what I buy.
I am looking at a 5 day park hopper without the pluses
or a 6 day park hopper PLus which includes the breakfast with the characters. I would have an unused day on that pass as I am only doing Disney 5 days that we are there. We wont be doing the water parks and found out today that pleasure island is not on HIS plans either... sooooooo. We are going the 2nd week in February. As soon as I understand all this I want to purchase my tickets before Dec 29th as I hear in Janaury ickets are going up,.

Now what?

After researching for months for 5 day PHP passes, I've come to the conclusion that Paramount has the best ticket prices. I just bought my tickets last week. They arrived in just two days! If you are going to be in the parks for only 5 days, and will not be using any of the plus features, then I would suggest that you save the $ and buy 5 day park hoppers.
