Is this a good price for tix?

[annabelle]

Hello... family of 5 here going to WDW this summer.

We're only wanting to spend a few days at the parks.
Hope my math is correct... but what I'm finding out is...

just a regular 2 day base ticket for our family would be $458
(2 adults, 2 kids, 1 free baby).

2 day park hoppers: $607

But I found some tickets on sale... is this a good deal???
2 day park hoppers + 1 free day at Disney Quest: $502 (reg price $758)
(That's $44 more than the base tix but w/hopping + Disney Quest)

Hmmmm.... not sure what do you all think?

Thanks!

The price sounds good, but Disney has never issued 2 day Hoppers to the general public. This sound like they may be convention tickets or some other animal which may carry their own restrictions.

And, the only place that you can verify the contents of any given pass is at Walt Disney World itself. All you'll get is a piece of paper with a magnetic stripe. Until you arrive at WDW, you will never know if each pass actually contains 2 Hopper days + DQ. If you walk up to the gate, insert the ticket and are told that the pass is no good, you will have no recourse other than spending another $600 on valid passes.

I don't mean to imply that the passes are no good...but the above COULD happen. You know what they say about a deal that sounds too good to be true...

Thanks for the tip...

I called back the agency in Orlando and they said that the tix are old convention tickets that don't expire until you use the first day - then they expire 10 days after first use.

He said there really weren't any restrictions beyond that.
So I'm assuming that convention tickets are pretty much the same as regular tickets then (?)


BTW, the prices broke down like this:
2 day hoppers (w/Disney Quest)---> $137 each adult
3 day hoppers (w/Disney Quest)---->$192 each adult
