discount orlando vacations..?

[dana0069]

Anyone done bussiness with this company, discount orlando vacations?
they are one of only a handfull of places that sell a 3 day hopper plus ticket.
I am buying for a family of 5 (adults) and that adds up to a lot of money to loose if this is not a reputable company.
Also i don't want to get involved with a company thats going to try and sell me time shares.
anyone have first hand experience with that company?

I don't but you may want to check out mousesavers.com and Mary's site may be able to help you out with some further information for savings.

I don't know of that company in general, but I have to warn you. Being a Central Florida resident, we get to see all the nice news stories about the "discount attraction ticket" places.

Some, NOT ALL, sell used tickets or tickets that otherwise should not be resold. There was a recent occurance where someone was selling tickets and when the customers came back to complain because they were not allowed entry to the parks (not neccessarily Disney), the business would not refund their money.

Three day Park Hopper Plus tickets are available from certain businesses as a promotional offering, I believe. For instance, AAA in the US offers them (or used to). Some rental car companies do.

I know it is a LOT of extra money when you are talking about 5 people, but why not buy 4 day passes and keep the extra day? Those days never expire!

I know a vacation from Canada to WDW is expensive so it might not happen SO often, but it may be worth the extra money not having to worry about who you are buying the tickets from.

MouseSavers has some info on these tickets here.

I bought our FITS passes through them and had no problems. They are a member of the Better Business Bureau. Check out this thread that was over on the Budget Board:

Good point Shelle and Dave, checking the BBB is a good idea!

I have really been wrestling with this concern myself for several weeks. I totally trust this company's ability to deliver the tickets (I've seen nothing to indicate otherwise), but they are not supposed to sell these tickets, i.e. 3 Day PH and 3 Day PHP. It is in violation of their contract with Disneyworld. And, everything I have researched and read, which I have done extensively, would indicate that these tickets are convention tickets. Only Alamo is "legally" allowed to sell these (of course, not considered convention tickets then). Fortunately, I am going with a friend, not taking my entire family, so it is only one ticket I am paying for this time. I just think I'll get the 4 Day PH at our local Disney store (which is really what I need - friend needs the 3 Day) and just be out the extra $15. BUT, I certainly understand people trying to save $$$. I'm a nervous type person, lol, and I just don't want to have to worry about Disney noticing I shouldn't have these tickets. Because, by goodness, I'd be the one to get nailed, lol.
