I finally received my AAA tickets!!!

[marciemi]

Many of you have been following this on other threads, but wanted to let everyone know. We got our tickets!!! We ordered the special ($122.75 per adult) AAA tickets which included 5 days park admission, $10 in game cards at ESPN Zone, free breakfast in the park, free parking, and unlimited fastpasses. It's been a long, uphill battle, but we finally got them.

Our agent got them using the 407-566-4985 number she got from another Disney number. Some people have told me this didn't work for their agent though and they had to call a Disneyland number (the other is HQ's in Florida). But that's the only number our agent called and it worked!

Shipping was $13 for all five of us, but it took about 2 weeks to get the tickets. But they told us upfront that they wouldn't ship them out until 3 weeks prior to our arrival date (which we had to give them). That was 2 days ago so we got it quickly after that! They did have to ship it directly to our agent however.

Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to answer them as best as I can. (Easier now that I have the tickets in hand). Yippee!!

Thanks for posting the info to help out others:

I just received my Passport Plus using the Disney Club and they were sent to my home via Fed-Ex.

The cost was:

$136.75 (Adult)
$123.75 (Junior)--13yr old

I guess the shipping was built in the ticket cost....We received vouchers for the Disney Club/ Travel Co. pin , tickets for breakfast in the park and the park pass gets you the $10 ESPN game credit and multi-fastpass feature.

Also parking (AAA only) wasn't included in the Disney Club package.

I would have gotten the same AAA passport package as you...but like others...we were told we had to book a room also and our rooms were booked via Priceline.


Is the Parking Pass a voucher you use at the gate of something you just put on the dash? Did you get an extra one???


Thank You again...

Ok - I have the packet in front of me. No pins, but we did get 5 plastic Disneyland luggage tags!

There's no "parking voucher" per se. Each park hopper ticket just has printed in the fine print on the back "free parking in the Mickey & Friends parking structure". So technically I guess we have 5 of them and could go in 5 different cars and get in free. But you couldn't just give them away to someone else because they're on your admission ticket!

We only paid $13 total for shipping - I can't say how they sent it because we just got the packet/folder from the agent. For the ticket/package themselves, we paid:
$122.75 per adult (10+)
$99.75 per child (3-9)

The free breakfast is good at Pacific Wharf (DCA) or Club Buzz (DL) during regular breakfast hours. This looks like a regular ticket on the front (same as the parkhoppers), but states all the info for Breakfast in the Park on the back. Worth up to $8.75, no cash refunds, no change returned, etc.

Our park pass it says is also good for the ESPN $10 card.

All the tickets state "expires 13 days after first visit and first visit must occur by 1/03/2004 and Valid 1/8/2003 through 1/18/2004."

This question is regarding the tickets purchased through Disney Club. What documentation do they give you that proves you get the unlimited fastpasses? I am curious. We are going later in the summer and are debating what type of ticket to get.

Thanks,

Pam

I only have the AAA ones, but it comes with a page explaining how the unlimited Fastpasses work. They also say on the passes themselves WDTC AAA PH. From reading these and other boards, CM's have explained that that symbol (I'd guess the Disney Club ones would just have the WDTC symbol) identifies it as being one that gets unlimited FP's. But there's no specific thing on it that says that - I think the computers in the FP machines just read the type of ticket and allow more for this kind!

The specific information the booklet that came with the passes gives is:

"NEW FASTPASS Feature for AAA Vacation Guests!

The special Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Ticket in your package includes the unique benefit of collecting FASTPASS tickets for multiple attractions at one time. Normally, tickets for additional FASTPASS attractions can only be pulled when your first FASTPASS ticket has expired. However, your Park Hopper Ticket includes the unique benefit of collecting FASTPASS tickets for multiple attractions at one time.

Disney's FASTPASS available at selected attractions only; subject to availability."

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the response.

Incidentally, for anyone still trying to get these tickets. The welcome page that came with the tickets gives a number for any assistance during your vacation. The number was 714-520-5080. Not sure if anyone's tried this number or what it does, but maybe they'd know who to call if it's not right!

Yep,
We also got the Disneyland 45th Aniver. luggage tags with our Disney Club / Travel Co packet.

My passes say nothing about Unlimited Fastpass on them...but the pass holder explains the details of Unlimited Fastpass.

Hi, I would love to get this type of tkt! The unlimited fastpass sounds great but is it only availible as a part of a AAA vacation package, or can any AAA member take advantage of this great offer?

Thanks

I just ordered them last week by using the number on the back of my disney club card. I did not have to book a package, only the tickets.

Someone had posted an 800# to AAA Travel - and I just called that number. The agent was more than happy to order the Passport Plus for me from Walt Disney Travel - but WDTC would charge $13 to send the ticket to the AAA office in Livermore, CA - and then AAA would charge me $7-$10 to FedEx it to me! I decided I'd better stick with ordering it through my local AAA office to avoid a 2nd shipping fee. (BTW - the AAA agent said the $13 was the tax on the Passport Plus - and I said I didn't think so!)

Thanks all! just ordered my passport plus 5 day tkts from WDTC! They're sending them fed ex directly to me for a $13.00 charge which makes them $122.50 with the breakfast/ fastpass/ and $10.00 ESPN gamecard/ this is agreat deal! Once again these boards have proven to be the best Disney resource ever

Thanks Again!

Daryl,

Did YOU or AAA order the tickets...WDTC charged me 136.75 for each adult ticket ordered (shipping included).

PLMK...Thanks

Does anyone know when the Passport Hopper Plus passes expire? Are they 2 years or 13 days after first use? I'll be going to DL for 3 days in May and I'm just starting my planning.

The Passport Hopper Plus passes "can not" be purchased at the gate...so they expire 13 days after first use.

I was just reading this post and I can't believe how good of a deal these passes are! I do have AAA but I am confused. Daryl-Who exactly did you call to order them from??

Thanks!

Angie

 

[Daryl]

Hi, just call the Walt Disney Travel Company and order Passport Plus TKTS. Thats it
Have FUN!!!!!

 

[marciemi]

However, if you want the free parking included with the AAA version, either see your travel agent (AAA) or call one of the numbers listed above in this post.

I just picked my tickets up from FEDEX. They were $258.50 for 2 adults. I called WDTC to order them. Thanks for the advice, Daryl.

You're very welcome !
