Paramount Travel and buying Park passes...

[Beejayjay]

I've seen a few references here and on the US boards to a company called Paramount International Travel, who have good online prices for multi-day passes, especially for Disney.

I checked out the website and the prices are very good, a good bit better than the likes of Ticketmania or the Official Ticket Center in Kissimmee.

However, I also read a slightly worrying piece about the company on Mousesavers.com. Apparently they are not registered with the Better Business Bureau in Florida, and are less than forthcoming when asked for info about the company. This and the better than expected prices (if they can sell at these prices why does no-one else?) makes me a bit wary of buying from them

Has anybody bought tickets from them, and if so did everything go OK ? Would you buy from them again ? Did the tickets get to you in good time ? We go to Orlando on Boxing day.

I buy a lot of stuff online so would not have a problem using the company if I got some good feed back here.

Thanks.

Hi

Yes, I bought 3 day hopper plus tickets plus US tickets from Paramount with no problem whatsoever. You need access to a fax though, as they want a copy of the front and back of your credit card - although you may be able to e-mail them a scan - I never asked.

As soon as they are disptache (via UPS) they e-mail you the package number so you can track it via the UPS website. My tickets arrived within 4 days. The tickets were all used with no problem.

I found the staff at Paramount very helpful and prompt in replying to e-mails - I would certainly use them again.

Anybody else had any dealings with Paramount ? I'd be interested to hear how you fared too.

Thanks.

Hi there

We ordered from Paramount for our trip this past February - no problems - we collected our tickets direct from them whilst we were out there (saved on the postage fees) - their offices are next to the Holy Land attraction - went to an office - looked OK to me - tickets were good value too - would use them again.

Hi there

I have bought tickets from Paramount, after reading about them on these boards, and have nothing but praise for them. The service was excellent and extremely fast. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or to use them again in the future.

Have you tried www.themeparkland.com

They seem to have some excellent ticket prices for WDW...and they offer a " Get them cheaper and we'll refund the difference " policy.

mike ( sober tonight !! )

Thanks to everyone who has replied, I'm pleased to see that they seem like a sound outfit. I think my order for 5 Day PH+ tickets will be going off soon.

They dont seem quite so hot on prices for Orlando Flex Tickets, but I guess you cant have everything !

Hi Mike,

Yes, I have checked out the Themeparkland website - they are about £ 20 or so more expensive than Paramount are quoting for a 5 day Hopper plus !

Thats why I am surprised at the rates Paramount are offering. In the past when I've compared ticket prices from online brokers, the differences have been fairly small, a few bucks or the odd pound or two. With these guys we're talking 20, 30 bucks a ticket better than elsewhere.

I'm just a cynic and wonder why they can/would sell so much lower than other brokers' websites.

But hey, as long as they give good service and I make my saving, who cares !!

thanks for the link it looks good but postage is $30 so I think id stick with ticketmania or one in the uk ,we have used Ticketmania 3 times before and never had any problems.

We used Paramount for our Disney tickets and, as everyone else has said, had no problems. As we were buying tickets for 5 even with the delivery charge they were very much cheaper than elsewhere.

We used Ticketmania for our Universal tickets as they were cheaper for these and had free delivery. Again no problem here at all.

Sea World I think we got direct from the Sea World website as they had the cheapest offer by far at the time.

Hi
We bought tickets from Paramount for our trip at Easter, Rosa at their office was most helpful, after I emailed her loads of times. The tickets arrived in good time. Colleague visiting next week also bought from them after I recommended good service and good price. Will definately buy from them when we go again next year, they are the best priced tickets I found, after months of research and trolling the net!!! Good luck and enjoy your trip.
