Can't reach Paramount - please reply if you have purchased tix lately!

[Kallison]

I'm kind of freaking out because I planned our entire summer stay around these 10 day passes and now I hear they may not be selling them much longer. Can't change our flight plans, so this will really mess up our trip if we have three days with no passes. The kids can't relax that long - lol! Here are my Q's:

1. Do the recently ordered passes have an expiration on them? So in other words if I order them now can I use them in August?

2. Is it a positive fact that Disney will honor these passes?

3. Has anyone else heard that Paramount won't be able to sell them soon - saw it on Mary's website.

Thanks for your help! It's not the end of the world but will put a little crimp in my plans.

If you really want the 10 day world pass you should order them as soon as possible. I have also heard that disney is tring to stop the ticket brokers from selling them to the US. People come back all the time and report using them. We bought them last year from PT and it was great having all the options. We just bought the 30 day fun in the sun pass from PT. They are defiantly not going to be available much longer. The 10 day pass is not a voucher, the 30 day pass is. You just use the 10 day pass like an AP with finger biometrics. I think they do have an experation date but you would have to call PT to check the date. The 30 day pass I just recieved has an experation date of 5/04. Hope this helps!

I sent an email to Paramount Travel and it was answered the same day. The prices here are incredible! I thought for sure there was a catch, but I guess not. Hope you get the 10 day pass. If not how about a seven day pass with 4 pluses. I like it better because it NEVER expires!
Deb, planning , but still...

You know I can't figure out why Disney would put a stop to these tickets. I added three days onto the Beach Club solely based on being able to get the 10 day pass. That is about another $1K they will get from us.

I'm a little bit worried they would give us a hard time at the gate using these if we are not from UK if they stop them from selling in the U.S. Guess I'll have to take a leap of faith. It's only money - lol!

 

[DisneyFreaks]

Oh, I do not need to hear this. We are all set to purchase our passes from PIT. Has anyone heard of anybody having trouble using these tickets at the gates? With all the bad luck we have had planning this trip I really do fear our family will be the ones they stop.

 

[Muffy]

No one is having a hard time using these passes at the gate. Any one that already has one of these tickets will be able to use them for their full stay. Mary has this info on her site about the 10 day pass. Just scroll down and look for the information in red. Not one person has come back and reported a problem with the 10 day pass or the 30 day pass.

Muffy I can't tell you how good that makes me feel. Thank you so much for setting my mind at ease. Not everyone in our party has their money for their passes yet {waiting on tax refunds LoL} so I pray they don't stop selling them because these are the best deals I have found. Does anyone know for sure if they are going to stop selling them? Do you think I should call and ask? Thanks again.

 

[Muffy]

I think you should buy them as soon as possible because the rumor is that there days are numbered. It is risky asking Rosa (PT) how much longer they will be available. It could trigger them being pulled sooner. The ticket brokers walk a thin line selling these passes. Why not put them on a CC rather than chance it? It is up to you, of course! Good luck!

 

[DisneyFreaks]

Thanks for your help Muffy. I think maybe that's what we better do. I don't want to miss out on these passes. I hope they take the am-ex card. Did you order online or do you have to call them?

 

[Muffy]

I used my am express. I had to call because you can't get the 30 day fun in the sun pass through their internet site. You can get the 10 day pass off the itnernet though. BTW, the 10 day pass is more expensive than the 30 day pass!

 

[wdwendyd]

Can you please tell me more about the 30 day Fun in the Sun pass?
Thank you!

 

[Muffy]

It is 30 days admission to the 4 parks, water parks, PI, DQ, kennedy space center and several musuems. It is for international travelers but PT is selling them to the US. They cost 310.00 plus 15.00 to ship. PT # 1 888 281 6699

 

[wdwendyd]

Thank you so much!
In the meantime I found this site that sells them for $350. Shipping is probably additional so your deal is much better! Here is the link:

With the orlandotour passes do they ship them to you or do you have to pick them up? Has anyone had any experience with this company? Also it doesn't say anything about the sun & fun pass being for the UK customers. Does this mean that their passes are actually meant for US customers? Thanks
