Hilton HHonors Hoppers

[odddog]

Hi All!
New to the Dis, although I have been reading for awhile (thanks for all your info) Hope someone can help. Need to know if anyone has used Hilton HHonors points to purchase a 4 day hopper + pass.
Hilton was not clear but said that the passes expire after you use them, (unused days expire) is this true? How does this work, you have only 5 days to use your plus option and ticket? Any info that you have and could share, would help me out.
Thanks in advance.

I really don't know, but I plan on requesting one in the next week or so. I'll let you know what the ticket says when I receive it, which should be in about a month.

Thanks Carol, I don't need mine for a few months - so your info would help.

I just received my HiltonHHonors Hopper. It only took a week to arrive and came by FEDEX 2 day service.

It is printed on normal WDW Park Hopper stock. (The older cardboard type, not the newer plastic ones).

It is a:

4 DAY PARK HOPPER PLUS AGES (10+)

On the back it has the same wording as on all park hoppers above and below the strip.

The printed stuff reads the same as any park hopper you would purchase except there is no purchase price listed, so it is probably not upgradeable for more days. I am going to ask if it is upgradeable because we have a trip planned for September 04 and I would like to convert this to an AP. I will report when I try. All they can do is say no.

There is NO expiration date listed.

I am not going to type the code verbatim as someone might use this claiming they lost it and essentially steal my park hopper.

FYI - The letter from Hilton is a little misleading: It reads as follows:

Here are the 1.WDWA Disney Hopper Passes to the Walt Disney World Resort you reqested as a Hilton HHonors reward. Each pass is valid for a four-day admission with the freedom to visit multiple parks on the same day at the Walt Disney World Resort:

Magic Kingdom Park
Epcot
Disney-MGM Studios
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Disney's River Country Water Park
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park
Downtown Disney Pleasure Island
Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex (general admission)

*Please note that some activities/events within Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex May be separately priced.

We hope you have a great time in Orlando, Florida!
Thank you for your continued loyal support to Hilton


As you can see they don't let you know that the hopping is for the major parks only, and there is only one admission to your choice of one of the minor parks.

Carol,
Thanks so much, I was led to beleive (by Hilton rep.) that they give you a voucher, similar to the kind you get for a hotel stay, and that you "surrender" that at the ticket counter at Disney for the "Real" Hopper pass. This is great to know, since there is no
expiration I will order mine soon and have it "in hand"!!
Thanks again!

They told me the same thing when I asked, that I would receive a voucher that expires sometime in 04, but the actual ticket came in the mail.
