Need help! Should I purchase passes now for August, 2004 vacation?

[CarolJ]

I need to figure out how long to rent a vacation house for in August, 2004. In order to do so I need to know which tickets to purchase. My dilemma is my kids want to stay 10 days to 2 weeks, visiting the major parks each day. I don't want to purchase annual premium passes as we did 4 years ago since it would be over $2,000 for the four of us. I e-mailed Rosa at Paramount International and she said the 30 day fun in the sun passes have an expiration date of May, 2004. The 10 day passes have no expiration date, but the breakfast vouchers that come with it expire May, 2004. The new breakfast vouchers do not come out until May, 2004. Meanwhile I'm worried that the 10 day or 30 day passes will no longer be available if I wait until May, 2004 to purchase them. Should I purchase the 10 day passes and just not use the vouchers? I'm worried I'll rent the house for 2 weeks and end up with 7 day passes. Thank you for any help!

From what I have read on these boards, Paramount will work with you to get you vouchers for a later date if you need them. You would have to wait until the newer vouchers actually come out before you would get them, but you have until August so that shouldn't be a problem. We are going in June, so I was looking into doing this.

Thank you Letsbgoofy! I'll have to call Rosa. I really would love to have the 30 day fun in the sun pass, but I'm worried they may pull them before next August. At least if I purchase the 10 day pass I should be safe. Does anyone think that Disney World may not honor them for Americans next year? I know that Disney is honoring them right now, but I'm a little worried that they may change their policy by August, 2004.
