Park Hoppers from Hotwire?

[DisneyBee]

Has anyone bought Park Hoppers from Hotwire, and if so, did everything go smoothly with them? I just joined and see that I can save about $50.00 on three 5 day PH+'s over ordering them directly from Disney.

Thanks for any input!

Now you have me curious, I went to Hotwire and see the savings club section, it seems to cost $7.95/month. What are the prices on the park hoppers you can get on the site? Are you saving $50 per ticket or overall?

 

[DisneyBee]

The $50.00 savings is on a total of three, 5 day PH+'s. I'm also getting the 10.00 rebate that they're currently offering for new members. So, I'm seeing my total savings as 60.00 on these tickets since my first month with Hotwire is free. $60.00 is a nice dinner one evening for my family of three!

I'm also going to order about 140.00 in dining vouchers to use at specific restaurants.

I will most likely retain the Hotwire membership. $7.95 a month isn't too bad. They also offer gift cards for popular stores (ToysRUs, Target, etc.) as well as places like Red Lobster, Outback, etc. These are 25.00 gift cards, and you ultimately will only pay $20.00 as they will give you a rebate of 5.00 for each card. Not too bad if you do a lot of shopping, dining out, or gift giving.

Good luck!

I joined Hotwire last month to purchase the Quick and Casual Meal Vouchers. I liked the idea of a month to month membership. You can cancel anytime. I have bought 16 vouchers for 11.50 each. I figure that will cover our lunch meals for the 5 of us for the week. As far as the park tickets, I will be getting them from Hotwire also. I just need to get the money together. A 5 day hopper plus is 246.35 for an adult. The 4 day hopper plus is 205 and some change for an adult. Hope this helps! Any ? just email me.

Thanks DisneyBee and OzFan. Those do seem to be good prices. $205 for the 4 Day Plus is $5 less than AAA without the plus feature. Can you tell me also the child prices for the 4 and 5 day passes? Working on my budget and I think I will be joining the Hotwire saving club after hearing about this.

One other question, do they have Universal tickets also?

 

[DisneyBee]

Yes, the do also have Universal tickets. I'm at work and don't have my membership # to access Hotwire right now for the prices, but will gladly look them up for you when I get home.

The Q&C vouchers are 11.50 as OzFan said. I believe the VKL Vouchers were 31.50, but not positive. They also have the breakfast vouchers - can't recall the price, though. They're no more than what they were with Connections.

Hotwire is worth a try as they have the free trial period. They won't charge your credit card until the free trial is up. If you cancel before that time, there won't be a charge.

Can you tell me how to register on Hotwire?
I went on the site and saw hotel and flight prices but not ticket prices.
The price for 5 day hopper plus $246.35 is a great price.
It beats anything I've seen yet. I'm hoping to get 6 day hopper plus tickets. The price is 7.95 amonth?

Anything you can tell me would be a help.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get tickets from hotwire>?>> trip is very close(feb 29th) would love to get the tickets there;afraid won't get them on time????emailed them today ---so far the y(hotwire) hasn't responded. Mapleleaf tics will deliver to your hotel---anyone used them????

 

[OzFan]

I have only ordered the vouchers and they have come within a week of ordering. I ordered a 3 day park hopper plus from ticket mainia and it was here within 7 days.
Also a footnote about Hotwires hopper passes. On the website it does not tell you how many plusses you get. I had to call today and find out. A 4 day plus gives you 1 plus. A 5 day plus gives you 2 plusses and a 6 day plus gives you 3.

Hotwire prices are the same as advance purchase prices from Disney. Disney offers the 4 day hopper without the plus option for $192-adult and $167- child. With disney you can purchase them as late as 1 day before your trip to get the advance purchase price- they will deliver them to your room.

I bought 7 day park hopper plus passes last year. They were less than anywhere else and the shipping was free. They arrived in about the same time span as everything else, abwithin a week. i had no trouble at all.

 

[DisneyBee]

The prices shown on the Disney site for advance purchase do not include tax - when they tack that on at checkout, it's substantially more than Hotwire. The prices Hotwire shows include tax already.

Thanks DisneyBee for all the information on this. If you don't mind, could you also give me the Universal Studio prices?
