May 2015 Trip Planning Questions!

[WheresTheLove]

Hello! I'm excited to share that my family (11 of us ) have booked a trip to the Disneyland Resort from May 24 - May 28! My dad purchased the trip for most of our party, and at the last minute my in-laws decided to come along. They plan to go on to Vegas from California, while the rest of us return to Washington state.

With that said, they booked a one-way flight to Orange County Airport (to make sure they would be on the same flight), then booked their room (we're staying at the Carousel) separately.

They need to complete their package, so I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions as to the best source to buy their Park Hopper Passes (we're going for 4 days) from, and they also need to purchase a character breakfast for one day. I'm just not sure what's the best thing to do (aka cheapest thing to do). Should they buy the passes through the hotel? Or are there other (credible) sources for hopper passes they should use?

Let me know what you would do in this situation! Thanks in advance for your feedback.

We like to purchase our tickets from Getawaytoday. Their prices are good, and if you find something cheaper, they will price match. I don't know about getting the character breakfast from them, but I think you can. You can check on their site. GAT also has piece of mind insurance for their tickets for $10.00. If you need to cancel for any reason, you can get a refund.

I've heard good things about Ares, but I haven't personally used them. Others on here use Orbitz combined with Ebates, but I haven't used them, either. I like using a company I can call and easily get good customer service on any questions I may have, that's why I use GAT.

Cheapest ones I've found are on aRes, $265 each for four-day park hoppers and $33 each for character dining. Probably going to go with them, I think.
