Conference Tickets?

[Rainforest_Elf]

Hey gang,

Long time no see!

My boss and I are going to a one day conference later this summer. We're planning on flying in the day before the conference and hitting the parks, then the day of the conference going to the park after class, and then staying an extra day.

I've heard of the twilight tickets, but I have no idea where to purchase them, or if they're really worth it. Has anyone here ever bought these? Can I buy a two day hopper "twilight" ticket? Is that even possible? The website seemed to indicate these were just for 3 day or longer conferences, which seems silly to me. If I fly in the day before my conference in the afternoon, I'll be dammed if I don't hit the park that afternoon/evening.

Any advice/experience going to Disney for a Disney Institute Conference?

You have to purchase twighlight tickets through the conference.

When DH had a conference in 2011, they sent him a special website link where we purchased our tickets on-line. They had options for twilight tickets (for those who didn't skip seminars!) and full day one park/day or full day parkhoppers.

Usually the conference gets to decide which tickets to offer, the details should be in an email they'll send you. The Twilight tickets are single day, and have a hopper option. I don't think they're that great of a value if you're going for multiple days. I think they're $70 for 1 park and $80+ for a hopper. You're probably better off buying a 3 day hopper at the convention rate. http://disneyinstitute.com/courses/faq/theme-park-tickets/

I purchased a conference ticket one time. If I remember correctly, it was $70 and I could enter the park after 4pm. No hopper attached. The ticket was offered through the conference which was at the Disneyland Hotel.

BTW--conferences there at the hotel are outstanding. Really nicely done.
