Canadian Residents 25% off tickets on WDW site **Offer extended until May 20, 2017.

I don't know about the discrepancy in the price -- it *should* be exactly what you see on the website (was the last time i bought thru CAA) however i do know that yes, they do price them in US funds. If you use your credit card you will pay whatever the current exchange rate works out to in CDN funds and you won't be charged the Foreign Transaction fee on your credit card. You could also take US cash in and pay that way. Clear as mud?

It still doesn't really make sense to me why they would charge in U.S. funds but I guess it is what it is. Are you sure they won't charge the foreign transaction fee? Thanks!

The $283 is the amount with tax

6-Day Ticket with Admission to 1 Park Per Day

• 1 x Ages 10+ (
  US$266.25
  /ticket)

US$266.25

Okay, that make sense! I feel silly at not having looked at the bottom of the page to see the taxes added, haha. Thank you!

I agree with you on the foolishness of selling the tickets in US funds, but yup, that's how they do it. You will NOT pay the foreign transaction fee because it's not a foreign company. You will only be paying whatever the current exchange rate is at that point.

That is indeed how they do it. All Disney components are priced in USD.
The only way we pay in CAD with tour operators is because they have done the conversion ..

Oh no! Don't feel silly ...it can be misleading which sometimes I think is the intent. Looks better pre tax..

Wow, was I ever excited to hear the 25% Canadian discount applied to WDW, in addition to Disneyland.

I have a trip planned in April/May with my niece and some of my nephews. I want to begin purchasing tickets for our trip, perhaps 2 at a time from my local BCAA office. We will be traveling from 3 different households. To redeem our vouchers, is it safe to say that everyone else will just need a passport....and I will need a passport and credit card used to purchase all tickets? Just want to make sure no one else needs to bring extra proof of residency, or info. I've read all 13 pages of the thread, and thought I had it figured out....but now I question myself.

Our plan is to book offsite for a week, or so....and stay on-site for a few days at the end of our trip. Hopefully a room-only discount will come up for early May.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi! Just wondering where you got the information that you only had to show your passport at AOA? Everything I have read or been told by my travel agent has been that these tickets come in voucher form that must be taken to Guest Services to be validated( but can book fast passes normally)??

It would certainly be easier if I could simply do the exchange at the resort instead of guest services!!

This is what we were told by the cast member who changed the tickets for us. We will see what happens when we arrive but given we know they are linked on MDE and we have already booked our fast passes, I am hoping they are correct....

WOW sounds like you have an awesome trip planned, should be great fun! Just made sure you get all your passes bought before the end of February when the offer expires. You also want enough time to get them linked to your accounts for your FP+ day.

You will need to show a passport for every person that will be using a ticket and they you'll be good to go. I don't think you'll need to worry about showing your credit card because this is what Airmiles is now shipping to people who redeem and you have no real proof of purchase with that method.

Thank you so much! I will make sure to purchase all tickets before the promo runs out.

I did the same trip with two of my nephews a couple years ago, and we had an amazing time. Water parks, mini golf, golfing, Flower and Garden Festival....ahhh!! The list goes on. I can't wait to do it all over again.

We bit the bullet and bought our tix from CAA today. DH went to buy them and apparently they are telling him that it will be charged in CAD funds now and gave him the price total in CAD So we will see how it shows up on the CC I guess. We decided to get them today because I'm worried the dollar will go down even further with what's going on in the U.S. I really hope it doesn't sink! We're going to try and upgrade to an AP in January when we go so I will report back if no one has by then.

They will start with the US price, convert it to the current CAD funds and charge you that. I bought my tickets thru CAA last year and the receipt showed the US price, the conversion rate they charged me and then the total CDN amount that was charged to my MasterCard

Yep, DH just got home and I looked over the receipt and it shows what yours did Having the tickets in my hand makes the trip seem so much closer! Normally we just buy them online so I never actually get to hold them

I think doing our FP selections soon will really make it exciting! Where are you guys staying?

Question may have been asked earlier but, how did everyone get their exchange certificates to present with their passport at the ticket window? Or would I just need to give my ticket booking number? I bought the passes over the phone with Disney about a month ago, can't wait for our March 2017 trip!

Thanks in advance!

HI all. I just found this thread. We have 6 of us heading down Dec 28 - Jan 2 before we get on an NCL cruise. We have had a hotel and ticket package booked for quite some time. A few weeks back when I noticed the CDN discount I called and was able to swap out our original 3 day passes for the 4 day CDN passes (who needs a down day anyway...) and we were still over $300 US ahead. More time in the parks and more cash in my pocket....it doesn't get better than that!!!

The tickets linked to MDE while I was on the phone (nothing I had to do to link them), they did confirm the tickets would be linked to our magic bands and that we would just have to show our passports when we arrive at AoA. And we have since added our fast passes so all is good to go!!!

@Cruisinskier did they specifically say that you could show passports and swap for 'actual tickets' at AoA? When I called a month or so ago to switch our tickets and get the deal, they weren't sure if they would be able to process these passes at the resorts or if we would have to go to guest services. Just wondering if they'd firmed this up - it would be great to do it at the resort at check in! Thanks

Why is it better to buy the park passes through CAA instead of Disney web site. I know they are both 25% off. If you book through CAA do you get the tickets right away? Can you book fast passes?
Thanks

One of the main advantages to buying the tickets at CAA is that you will be able to pay in Canadian funds and incur no foreign transaction fee.

You will end up with a certificate that you can link to you MDE account allowing you to make your FP+ when the time rolls around.

Thanks. I have one more question of CAA vs Disney for passes . Do you still have to get to customer service at Disney with all the passports to activate the passes?

Yes, you still need to show your passports.

Has anyone tried activating their certificates at a resort yet?
