HELP! ticket/booking question

[crzy4mickey]

If we purchase a 6 day park hopper plus pass with 3 plus options does this mean we can park hop with the pass for 6 days and use one plus option a day on the next three days?? We have always had length of stay tickets before but now i'm consdering booking room only and buying tickets from ticketmania, it seems like we would save a lot of money booking that way. Also I have AAA and last time booked directly through them. Would it be better if I booked my room only resies myself directly through Disney using the AAA discount? That way if a discount code came out that would apply to us we could just call Disney directly. Thanks for your help, these boards are wonderful!

Yes, I think you've got the idea. The 6-day part of the PHP is for the 4 major parks: AK, EPCOT, MGM and MK. You can visit any or all of those parks on 6 individual days.

The 3 "pluses" are for PI, TL, BB or WWoS. You can visit one on each of 3 separate days but unlike the "hopper" part of the pass, if you visit two of those areas in a single day, they will count as 2 uses of your pluses.

The unused park portion and the plus portion of the passes do not expire. So, you if you do not use all of the days on your passes, do not throw them away.

I hope this made sense.

As to the room ressie, I have not used AAA myself and do not know what their policy is regarding existing ressies and applying codes. I booked my upcomeing room ressie thru Dreams Unlimited and I'm leaving it up to them to apply any codes that can be used when they become available.

If that's the way you prefer to use it, yes you can. It doesn't matter what days you use the plus options on. It can be on a day you go to a park or it can be on a day that you don't.

Yes. If AAA books it and you want to change to another discount, you can't do it yourself. You have to have the travel agent do it.

If i buy our tickets through a ticket broker like ticketmania, do they ever expire or are they the same as if you purchased them through Disney?

Most of the passes never expire. There are a few exceptions but they will state the expiration dates and terms right on the tickets.

Ticketmania is currently offering a "4-day expiry" ticket to MouseSavers Newletter readers. It is the same as a 4-day PH (no pluses) but it expires 13 days after the first day of use.

Other passes, like the 10-day World Pass and the 30-day Fun in the Sun pass, are only good during a certain period of time (currently available FITS expire on May 31, 2004) and expire within a set number of days after their first use.
