I think if you order the 6 day PHP you get 3 plusses...I think it goes like this:

4 day PHP...1 plus feature
5 day PHP...2 plus features (except sometimes they offer a special ticket that offers 4 plus features)
6 day PHP...3 plus features
7 day PHP...4 plus features

Is my information wrong? Have they changed this?

Hi, Ozymoe!

I called Simple Escapes the other day to ask them questions about the passes, and she told me that the 6 day park hopper passes come with four pluses, and I said "4- pluses??" and she said that was correct. I will be calling them again and double check on the questions I have--so if I hear anything different, I let you know!

Hi: i noticed that the listings for sinple escapes in this thread includes travel discounts (5%)... does hotwire have this also and is it a good reason to get SE instead of hotwire? i will be staying offsite of disney and will be renting a car...do they refund part of the money you spend? thanks

Trixie- Thank you for all your hard work-- this is a great and informative thread.

Carol,
I've never used this service. But it says they refund 5% of your hotel room, etc. You have to request a rebate certificate of some kind and mail in your original receipts within a month or two of your trip.

Hotwire doesn't have this.

How does the movie ticket thing work? Do you buy them in advance or do you get a refund after the fact? Also do they limit the number of movie tickets per year?
Thanks,
Kimba

Thanks for all the great information.
Does Hotwire bave any shipping charge for WDW tickets?
Can you return unused Q&C vouchers?
If so, can you return unused Q&C after canceling the 30 day free trial membership?
How long does it take to receive an order?
Thanks

figment27- I don't think you can return any unused vouchers, but I am a Hotwire member...not sure about simple escapes. There is no shipping charge unless you need a shipping charge.

toystoryduo - no gas cards at Hotwire

I joined for the tix and vouchers but stayed for the GCs. I buy the Giftcards as teacher gifts. I gave OutBack GCs as teacher gifts at the end of the year.

Between my GC purchases, movie tix purchases and voucher purchases I have more than covered my membership for the year.

 

[figment27]

Is the sales tax included in the listed price for the PHP passes?
Thanks.

Would also be interested in an answer to jan1033's question about joining simple escape, after having been a member of hotwire....

I've used up my 15 annual allotment for Kmart and Target at hotwire, and would like to get more.

Anyone have any ideas? It sounds like I couldn't have my husband join because he is a member of the same household. What if you joined later using a different address, like your work address........???

Yes, I was a member of both clubs simultaneously and had no problem with it.
