Park Hopper passes for $50

[pennypincher]

I heard that you can get 4 day park hopper passes for $50 at a store near WDW. Does anyone know the name of this store and where it is located?

Wow, anyone else heard of this? 4-day park hoppers are the last on my list of things to buy and I'm looking for the best deal possible, but this sounds to good to be true.

You shouldn't get park passes that are discounted from anyone other than Disney (or AAA). If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Disney doesn't have to discount their tickets to get people to come. Most of those boothes that sell discounted tickets sell used park hopper passes, which violates Disney's rules, and they frequently have less days on them than the people tell you. There is no way to know how many days are on a pass without being in Disney World.

That is right NEVER EVER buy tickets from anyone other than Disney. There was a story recently on Inside Edition about some families that were scammed by these places big time. the ticket broker told them that thy were good tickets and when they went to the parks there were NO days on the tickets. When investigated some of these brokers completely moved their booths to other places so they could not be found.

What about buying them of E-bay? I thought I read somewhere on the boards of someone buying them on e-bay? I'm desperate for the best deal on 4-day park hoppers, but I'm also very cautious. I realize that most deals are too good to be true, but any discount would be helpful.

Hi! Just a word of warning that there is usually a "catch" to purchasing park hopper passes for that price; usually, you have to sit through a hard sell for a timeshare, etc. There are other great ways to get discounted park passes (AAA, DC, etc.), and the Budget Board is a great place to find those tips. Because of this, further replies will be redirected there. Thanks so much!

Also keep in mind that the passes are "Non-Transferable". I'd hate to buy them on Ebay and then have Disney find out your're not who the pass says you are and revoke them. I, too, saw the Inside Edition piece about the tickets. I'll never be tempted again to go the cheap way. Better safe than sorry.

I would NEVER buy any tickets off Ebay. You don't know if they tickets even have days left on them. IT's better to just pay the price at Disney or from AAA or any other nationally recognized AUTHORIZED comapny who does business with Disney.

 

[tigger2222]

I do have AAA, how do I use this to get discounts? Do I have to find an AAA office?

Thanks

I believe you have to get them from the office and they only carry certain types. Not all the available types. (At least that is the way it used to be).
