Cheapest Park Tickets

[vicandmick]

Hi! Can anyone tell me the cheapest place to buy park tickets?? I think I might buy the annual pass. (that's a great excused to go to Disney 2-3 a year) I found a place for 265.00 for a 6 day hopper plus. I think that is a great price. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Can't quote you 6 day prices. But i just got my 4 day passes at hotwire savings club and they were the cheapest I found. Also try the budget board.

$301 for an adult 7 day with 4 pluses and free character breakfast coupon (they are not allowed to advertise the coupon but it is included and cover tip and tax as well).

If you are going to buy the AP, you can save yourself the trouble of shopping around. You can only get AP's through Disney. They are sold at TDS, by phone, online, and at the parks only.

That price is about the same we paid at the Disney Store advance purchase price for the 6 day plus ($280 with taxes). We found TDS had the best prices with advance purchase prices for our last trip. We took advantage of the Disney Club discount for the tickets this year at TDS.

It depends on how many days you will be in WDW for the AP's. We got our AP's one year with a 10 day stay and then went at the 11 month and stayed an additional 15 days, so we got our money's worth with the AP's.

Have you (or anyone else here) used them before? Are they a reputable company? That sounds pretty cheap (especially considering the free character breakfast). Is it one free character meal per ticket?

 

[InstImpres]

I have used Paramount on more than one occassion and they were originally recommended to me from other here on the Board.

I think it is a great deal especially, if you factor in tip and tax on the breakfast. I think it is good anywhere but CRT. We used ours at the Princess Breakfast in Norway and my Sister's family used it a Crystal Palace.

Good Luck

I will be buying 5 day park hoppers with 2 plus features for our upcoming trip in May. I have researched prices at every possible place and I agree that Paramount has the best prices...even with the shipping and handling charges, it still works out to be cheaper than anywhere else. A 5-Day PH+2 pass is $239 for an adult pass. I will be purchasing 2 of these passes. With shipping, the total is only $493. I have yet to find passes cheaper

Thank you for the info regarding purchasing tickets from Paramount. We are a group of nine, with 6 needing 7 day plus passes. The price quoted by paramount is $27 cheaper than the DS with my Disney club discount, but that doesn't include the free character breakfast coupons! Nine of us are attending the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Norway, so that will definitely be a savings for us...

My only question is..... why doesn't Paramount offer a 6 day Hopper plus? Three in our group are interested in them.

I read this on the Mousesavers Web site.....


Paramount International Travel

Paramount International Travel has received many good reports from my readers over the past couple of years and this broker offers some excellent rates on passes. In fact, some of Paramount's prices are lower than those offered by the two brokers I recommend above. However, I am listing this broker with reservations - use at your own risk.

Unlike Ticket Mania and Florida Orlando Tickets, Paramount does not belong to the Better Business Bureau and has not been responsive to BBB requests for basic contact information. I spoke with the management at Paramount about this in 2002 and suggested that they at least update their contact information with the BBB, or better yet join the BBB. For whatever reasons, Paramount has chosen not to do so.

Additionally, Paramount is offering some "international" passes (the 10-Day World Pass and the 30-Day Fun in the Sun Pass) for sale to US and Canadian residents. I have been repeatedly told by multiple sources that these two passes are not supposed to be sold in North America. It appears that Paramount is somehow dancing around Disney's rules and managing to get away with it. I'm not taking a position on this -- just reporting the situation as I understand it. If the passes are not listed on the Paramount web site, you can try calling Paramount directly.

How do you add the plus features? and character breakfast?

 

[scrappermcl]

Does anyone know if the breakfast voucher is included in the child 7 day PHP? Is it one voucher per ticket or per order.

Thanks for your help!

I called paramount today to inquire about the Park Hopper Plus Passes. Each 6 and 7 day plus pass comes with a free character breakfast, including childrens' passes as well.

They resemble the same passes that are sold at the parks.

These would be our prices......

Disney Store with Disney Club Discount
(2) 6 Day Adult Park Hopper Plus $560.22

(4) 7 Day Adult Park Hopper Plus $1239.76

(2) 7 Day Child's Park Hopper Plus $496.32

TOTAL $2296.30

Paramount Prices

Same Tickets As Listed Above $572.00

$1204.00

$490.00

Shipping $15.00

TOTAL $2281.00


The price difference for the passes is $15.30 less with paramount, and we get 8 free character breakfasts too!!!

The 6 day Park Hopper Plus is available only by calling them direct...... 1-888-281-6699


We already have ressies for Princess Storybook Breakfast at Epcot, so these savings are great for us!!!

The addition of the free character breakfast vouchers just about clinches the deal for us -- with 6 adults and 3 kids, that is most likely a $150 or so savings!

Two questions, though:

1) does Paramount sell the actual tickets themselves, or a voucher that you redeem at WDW for the 7-day PHP? and

2) has anyone had any bad experiences with Paramount, where they didn't get their tickets/vouchers in time, they mishandled the order, etc.?

We're departing 12/5, so we have a month.

 

[annie5379]

I agree with you completely!!!! The character breakfast passes cinched it for me too!!

 

[lisareniff]

Hummm..... When I called two weeks ago (took me forever to get through!) the woman on the phone said "no" to Epcot princess breakfast. Perhaps I (or she) misunderstood. We have ressies, so that would have swayed me to buy them. I went with Hotwire.

To answer a few questions -

The PH are actual passes that come not vouchers.

The tickets come via UPS overnight and they giving you a tracking number. (The only down side is they are adult signature required in person. I went and picked mine up at the UPS hub - 10 minutes away - as it was easier than trying to catch the UPS man)

Lisa -

My only thought is the breakfast part is a voucher and they haven't used them all up yet. We went in Feb and the Norway breakfast was to new to be listed, but I called dining and they said it is the same category as the rest. We had absolutely no problem with it, the serve didn't even flinch - told us we are also set, thanks so much, gratuity is included, have a magical day. I think you should be fine
