I'm trying to find the best price (incl. tax and mailing charges) for 2 adult 5 day Park Hopper PLUS passes. I've searched these boards for specifics, but can't seem to zone in on exactly what I'm looking for.
I had seen the prices at Paramount, and just like you Hypnoticx, I was dubious about them because their prices, particulary for Disney Hopper Passes, were so much lower than other brokers.
I posted a question about Paramount on the UK Trip Planning forum, asking for people's experiences in dealing with them, and so far all responses have been positive I'm glad to say.
I posted a similar question on the Orlando Hotels & Attractions board, and so far have one response from a Canadian lady, who was also very pleased with the service she got, and will happily use them again.
I am not sure HOW Paramount is able to give these great prices, but I think that it has something to do with them buying from Disney in bulk AND the fact that they deal with international travellers.
I have been reading about Paramount on these boards for over 2 years now, and I have yet to read of a problem with an order.
I am not sure why Paramount does not participate in the BBB (don't forget that this is completely voluntary), but that is the reason that Mary Waring at Mousesavers does not give them a complete recommendation.
But if what we read on this site is indicitive of their business practices, then there is no reason not to do business with them.
If you do a search on this board (and you people in the UK should be able to do so while most of us are sleeping ) you will find lots positive experiences from people using Paramount.
If you are willing to join HotwireSavings Club ( see thread above) the price of two 5 day adult PHP tickets is $473.52. I have gotten items from both them and paramount and have been very happy with the quick service and good prices.
They still have the 5 +4... so for $70 more per set of 2, you get 4 extra plusses... But I guess its not a greal deal if you didnt really need them... I thought 9 days of the parks for $265 an adult and $213 a child was a good price???

A 5 day park hopper plus is $265 with Maple Leaf. I don't remember the prices for the other passes.
I really think that Paramount has the lowest prices. My brother-in-law can't even get a lower price on the Air Force base at the military rates!
I think that will determine whats best... we have 2 weeks in Floriday so we definitely wanted the 9 days total. So for us, we didnt need the cheaper 5 day PHP that had 2 plusses... the extra cost was defintely worth the 2 extra plusses!
I just purchased 5 day PHP with 4 plusses from TicketMania using the mousesavers' discount for $257 each including tax and shipping. I also rec'd DQ for $21 each.
I ordered over the internet on Sept 12 and the passes arrived Oct 3.
Christmas gifts for my adult children! (we have APs).
After reading this thread, we decided to buy our 5dayPHPs from Paramount ($493!) & they arrived yesterday (2-day UPS) along with a themepark guide/map. They're very nice & quick to answer emails & what not. The only qualm I have is, the tickets are the "paper" kind (which I shall guard like gold!) & not the "plastic/credit card" type ones like our MNSSHP tix. But it's a great deal anyway.
Ok, am I missing something here?
I can purchase a 5 day hopper passes tickets directly from Disney http://attractiontickets.tickets.com/buy/TicketTrans at $217 a ticket. This seams to be the best price I found on the park passes, they are cheaper by $22 over the price Paramount has. Is there some restrictions on these tickets? Im getting really nervous as I was going to purchase them from our local Disney store next week! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
mainewmn,
I asked the same question a while ago, because it looks like directly from Disney can't be beat. But that's if you get them from the store itself, to avoid the shipping charges. I'm also buying the 5-D PH at $217 each for my family from my local Disney Store.
HYPNOTICX, thats the price for the Ultimate Park Hoppers the Park Hopper 5 day tickets for adults are $217 advanced purchase and $239 at the gate. I can avoid all shipping charges and purchase them at the local Disney store. I was just wondering if I was missing some great deal on the ones that Paramount has.
Aisling Im glad to hear that someone ales has also noticed the price directly from Disney.
