Looking To Buy 8 Day Passes

I'm having a hard time locating 8 day passes. I thougth discountorlando had them, but they don't.

We just got 10 day non-exp hoppers from ticketmania with 5 extras for 359 adult and 324 child. This was actually less than the 8 day non-exp hopper with extras (372 adult and 330 child). The 8 day base price at ticketmania is 230 adult and 161 child. This was a special rate through the May Mousesaver.

Ticketmania has them- sign up for the newsletter at mousesavers.com to get a discount on the tickets. (Link to discount ticket prices will be in the newsletter which comes the 15th of each month)

I got mine through Ticketmania and it worked out beautifully! They were great (and $1 cheaper than their 7 day...)

I just had to go back and look, because we bought 7-day passes from TicketMania, and I wondered if I had overlooked being able to get an extra day for the same (or lesser) price. You must have purchased the 8-day parkhopper passes that expire 14 days after first use. Oddly enough, those are priced at $1 less than the same tickets for 7 days - (and they're only $2/day more for 9 and 10-day passes).

However, when you buy the non-expiring passes (as we did), it's a whole different story. It would have cost us $60 more to add the 8th day to our base passes (no parkhopping), although the 9th & 10th days would have been only $2 more each. (For non-expiring parkhoppers, the difference between the price for 7-day and 8-day passes is $50, then $2/day for the 9th & 10th days).

Now I remember that I did check all of this information carefully - many times - before I ordered our passes. Since we bought tickets to MVMCP, we thought we might need only 3 park days this trip - 4 at the most. The difference in price between 3 and 4 days was only $13, so we probably would have bought 4 days - just in case.

However, since the difference in price between a 4-day non-hopping ticket that would expire, and a 7-day non-hopping non-expiring ticket was only $57, we decided to go for it - and just assume that we'll make it back to Disney World again in the coming years.

Although I haunt these boards daily, and have gained lots of useful information, we are sporadic Disney visitors. Our last trip was in 2000, and the previous one was at least 5 years before that. This year DD's fiancee will be joining us (for his first ever trip to WDW). The fourth member of our party is my 14-year-old granddughter. Hopefully, we can use up our "extra" days on another Disney trip before she goes off to college and stops wanting to spend time with mom and grandma.

Another place to try is http://www.undercovertourist.com . They are comparable to ticketmania without the mousesaver discount and only slightly more than the mousesaver discount
