Your ticket will end up being a regular park hopper like everyone else has. We used e-tickets in Jan and it was very easy. You print out the e-ticket on reg. printer paper. You take it directly to the gates, do not go to the ticket booth. Very easy and it sure beats standing at the ticket booth!
The mention of a $5 price difference makes me wonder if the OP is actually buying the e-ticket from disneyland.com. Because the prices I see on disneyland.com have more of a savings than that.
If the OP is getting e-tickets/vouchers from another site, the procedure for getting the ticket is different; usually involving a stop at the ticket booth.
But directly from disneyland.com, it's just as easy as everyone is saying. Same for the AP vouchers bought from disneyland.com. Easy easy easy.
I was thinking the OP meant having it mailed as opposed to e-ticket. But you're right, that wasn't clear it and it would make a difference. I don't remember how much Disney charges to mail the tickets but that's what I was thinking.
