Caution: 5day plus four options online

[mrs.pixiedust]

I heard about the "great deal" at floridaorlandotickets.net with the 5 day plus 4 option pass for only $245 per adult including tax. I thought WOW! What a deal! It's better than the DC discount. I have always heard to use caution when buying tickets from anywhere besides Disney. I also had never heard of a plus 4 option. So, I called WDW twice today. Both times, I was told that these passes were not in any way sponsored by WDW.Once, She even put me on hold to check with her supervisor so he could pull it up on the web site. I know that Disney isn't going to tell you to buy your tickets elsewhere so I specifically asked "Disney has not authorized these passes in any way, shape or form?" She said "No." The CM agreed that it sounded great if it were indeed valid. I also asked/said" There is no such thing as a 5day plus with 4 options?" The reply was "No." She said that they have had problems with counterfiet passes from a couple of places. Now, she did not say THESE tickets were fake but she did caution strongly against buying off the net. It really seemed like she was genuinely looking out for me and not making sure Disney didn't loose a few dollars. So, has anyone actually USED any of the tickets from floridaorlandotickets? I read her the ad on the web site about how thier tickets are guaranteed. She daid "yea, but guaranteed by who?" If anyone has actually USED these passes, I'd love to hear from you.

Well I guess the answer to that would be the parent company of FloridaOrlandoTickets.
I am leaving this Friday - sorry that I will not have access to the internet until I return the following weekend. As soon as I am able to get on-line, I will let you all know what my experience with my passes purchased from this company was.

I had a Disney CM tell me that there were "no such thing" as the vouchers that connections sells for meals. Well, this has been proven to be false and many people have used them with no problem.

I'm not saying the CM was wrong ... just that sometimes they don't know what they are talking about.

It may not be a ticket that they offer ... but Disney tends to make "special" deals with different orgs.

I got my tickets from Connections .. the are bonifide 5 day hoppers. (no extra plusses)

I will be interested in seeing the outcome of the tickets you are refering to!

I purchased a 5 day plus four for my sister (can't remember the name of the company, but it was mentioned on this website as well.) The company was backed by the BBB, and the ticket was in every way valid, not to mention they delivered it for "free" at 7am to our vacation house the day after we arrived. It is a great deal. If you search under my user name you may find the company we used. Hope this helps!

the ticket itself was exactly like any other disney ticket, it does state 5 plus 4 and my sister used every day and option of it with no problems whatsoever.

Wouldn't this look great on a plaque mounted on the wall at WDW?

Also, just an aside here but floridaorlandotickets.net sells through Yahoo Shopping. I'm hesitant to believe that Yahoo would allow someone who is not reputable to do business through them.

Florideorlandotickets is also listed in the"Orlando Guide" - the folks who distribute the Magicard? I would not hesitate to go with them - in fact, I am.CM's, I'm guessing, are instructed not even to acknowledge anything much about that naughty word WE love.... "discount"!!!!

We bought the 5 day hopper with the 4 "plus" option from the travel agency inside of Wal-Mart in Kissimmee, which Mousesavers and several disboard'ers had recommended. Service was great, however we WERE told that the original purchase date had to be before 7/31/01 to get 4 plusses instead of the usual 2. We did notice later in the week (august 3-7) that they had EXTENDED the 4 plus offer. We had no trouble getting our tickets honored, and paid a total of $247 per adult, which included ALL taxes and fees. hope this helps!
