Last Minute Travel/Sam's Club

[IBLarsen]

I ordered my tickets on Saturday morning. I received the confirmation email but no tickets yet. We will be at Disneyland on Sunday. Does it usually take this long to receive them? I called LMTClub but the rep was less than helpful. She just said I would get them.

I would call and try again, I've usually found them to be very helpful, hopefully the next person you speak to will be better!

Oh my heck this will save me $450.00! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

How far ahead do I need to purchase and can just one person take all the documents to the gate or does everyone need to be present (kids are flying in later).

I LOVE THIS BOARD!

Curious to know if there is any difference in price between the two. One being sold through Sams Club and the other LMT, yet same group.

I spoke to the same person all three times. The prices she quoted me as LMT were the exact same as prices she quoted on the Sam's Club number. We got 2 day tickets without a hopper and they were $176.44 per adult. San Diego Zoo was $44.40 per adult. They are $50 at the gate.

They say they will email your tickets in 48 hours (mines been longer), the email confirmation says to allow 7 days. I wouldn't push it within a few days, but that's just me I've done it 2 weeks to 2 mos out. At the gates they won't scan your voucher in for each person until they are there. You can scan yours and get your regular ticket, but the rest of your party will have to when they get there. It's not a big deal, each person has to scan in their ticket everytime they enter anyways. The voucher is just your ticket, you don't have to go to ticketing to exchange or anything, just enter the park with it and they print your new ticket then. Hope that helps.

Sorry it's been forever since I haven't either had an AP or bought my tickets at the hotel......so if I understand correctly, you just get in line to enter like you would with a ticket. At the gate they take your voucher, take your picture and hand you a ticket back? Or do you have to go to the ticket window?

I'm sure I'm making it more difficult than it should be

Just go right to the gate as with a regular ticket.

Ok, for the life of me cannot get the tickets for DL to pop up at Sam's club. Do you have to call for Sam's Club? I got it to pop up at LMT with no issue. Thanks!

I don't know why, but available and pricing is slightly different when going thru LMTClub, Sams, or Cruise Compete. I can't find DL tickets on Sam's Club, but they are there for LMTClub and Cruise Compete. The prices for DL tickets are better on LMTClub but Knott's tickets are slightly better on Cruise Compete.

Ok, good to know! I thought it was just me having issues! I feel better now

I have a question.... I think it was another LMT thread, where I was informed that the 'dates' on the voucher don't really matter, the tix are good thru the end of the year(?) just verifying,as we don't travel for a while.... So if we get these vs. from dis website,we don't get a magic morning day,right? (but we save $$$)

I just bought 2 four day hoppers from LMT and not only did I save $ but they have the Magic Morning entry.

I've used them before and just got my tix for upcoming trip also, the tickets expire in January of next year, so dates don't matter. (Other than the fact that they told me on the phone you can't use them within 48 hrs of purchasing). But really they don't even send them to you that quickly usually. All 3 day and up passes have 1 magic morning. There really is no downfall here

that's awesome,thanks! I am playing a bit of a waiting game right now, I have a question about ticket prices, I know for WDW they change about twice a year, same for DL? In the past,when I've bought at a reseller, we got a small heads up window on price increases,and could still purchase at the previous price till the reseller ran out of those priced tix... anyone know if this works like that?

Daughtersrus - GoCubs! (We're in Palatine & HUGE Cubs fans). Thanks for posting about this service.

Spokanemom- thanks for the code - it still works for free membership for LMT!

Does anyone know if DL tix are available on LMT/Sam's ever without transfers/transportation? I've just put in random dates to LMT, and see DL one-day, one-park with transfer, OR, DL trasnportation with 1-day park-hopper. Does it depend on the dates you put in? For instance, nothing comes up for our October week. Since we're staying across the street, the last thing we need is transportation. I put in a week in August - thinking that's who LMT caters to - the Last Minute Travelers, but see the same options.

We're also Sam's members, so I've looked on Sam's site. For what it's worth - for our week in October, right now, I see EXACTLY the same things on Sam's as I do LMT. Same prices, same list of activities.

Oh - I'll add too, after perusing the LMT website ... car rentals are WAAAAY cheaper via Costco travel website Sam's/LMT, almost double what we're holding for an Alamo minivan via Costco.

 

[DisFan84]

I can't get over the price point- and it freaks me out lol. I know that you run the risk of issues when buying outside of their actual site, but with everyone's good reviews, it'll be nice to save some extra money to spend in the parks.

Most likely you entered Los Angeles as your city. You need to put Anaheim.

There's no hard and fast rule. I've had LMT be cheaper, especially if there is a pre-pay option.

@sheetz - I entered Anaheim, everything included transportation :-( BUT!!!!! I just entered the term Disneyland & found results. THANKS!!!!!! I did log off, then log back on & now I see more options. Strange, but nothing surprises me these days!

I can't even get DL tickets to pop up as an option on Sam's club! Only on LMT.

This confuses me and seems different than what everyone else is saying. You take your ticket from LMTClub, walk through the turnstiles and then they pull you aside to print you a new ticket??? How does that even work? And if what LMTClub sends you is an actual ticket, why would you need a new ticket printed? Where do they even do that?
