Calling all the experts..... How to save money on tickets

[diskids2]

We are a family of four (3 Adult tickets and one child). We will be going to the world for 7 full days. We will be going to disney quest, but not a water park. We will be visiting all four parks and will need tickets for each of the seven days.

I will be staying at the Dolphin and have a quote of approx. $387 for adult tickets at the disney ticket desk. This is for Ulimited Park Hoppers.

Are there any other better deals available?

We have never bought 7 day tickets, but I saved this thread for the future in case we can ever swing a longer trip:

Hope it helps! Have a great trip!

Last time I checked, 7 day Park Hopper Plus tickets at www.ticketmania.com were $315.

The 7 day park hoppers will include 4 admissions to the water parks, Pleasure Island, the Wide World of Sports, but not DQ.

How many times do you want to go to DQ, diskids2? You may save the most money by purchasing a 3 day hopper, a 4 day hopper, and single admissions to DQ from Ticketmania or whomever is selling them for the best price.

I have not priced out this option, but I would think that it is cheaper than the UMP - but this will depend upon how many times you intend to go to DQ.

you know i am trying to figure out a way to save on 7 day tickets too..and i think i am gonna go and price out the 3 and 4 day thing..cause we dont need all those extras..never thought of doing it that way...

 

[cyndibelle]

where do you buy three day hoppers???

Convention tickets include DQ. Mousesavers will give you some ideas as to how to get them.

ok...the 3 day hopper and the 4 day..not cheaper..no good that way.....

There is a thread under Theme Parks, Attractions and Strategies: " I got a great deal on 7 day PH tickets". You should take a look at this thread. I saved a little over $300 on four 5 day Park Hopper tickets with one plus which included Disney Quest. These tickets are only valid for a 14 day window, as opposed to the regular PH tickets, which never expire.

The 10 day world pass may work out as a good deal for you. I think it is $335 for adults and a bit less for kids. You have to email or call Ticketmania for a price. It will include park hopping and DQ. It comes with a voucher good for one breakfast, the choices are limited but do include some character meals.

Also I know a lot of people say the UPH are an expensive option, and they are for 3, and 4 day trips or when you have non park days planned. But if you plan to be in the parks everyday and want the option of several DQ visits, UPH may be the best deal...

My final thought- do check all your options and just so you know, you can get DQ tickets way below the Disney price... check Ticketmania's mousesaver rate... if you only plan on 1 day at DQ this may be a good option too.

The 30 day Fun in th Sun pass is only $300 and includes a free breakfast voucher. (I don't know why it's less than the 10 day pass) I think the kids price is $245.


We just order ours from ticketmania. My son and I will be there for 10 days and my sister's family will be there for 8 days. These were the cheapest tickets we could get that would allow us to come and go as we please.

disneyjunkie,
Just went to ticketmania and didn't see the 30 day fun in the sun. How did you get it.
We're trying to decide between AP's and hoppers this year. We may be planning a trip for next year also but aren't sure yet.
This 30 day pass sounds interesting though. Cheaper than a 7 day hopper but will be able to use it more. We wouldn't have to worry about burning a hopper day if we just wanted to go into the parks for dinner or just to see a show.

Thanks so much!

I'm off to explore the wonderful world of Ticketmania. I will definitely tell you all what I have come up with.

I only want to go to DQ once, so I may be able to do something creative here.
