Yes, you can. Only certain ones. Go to the official site to see the prices. Most will tell you that you can get them elsewhere cheaper.

Disney Stores begin new system for selling Walt Disney World park passes.

In late January 2003, The Disney Stores began a brand new way of selling multi-day WDW park passes. You can now pick up WDW tickets off a castle-shaped display fixture and bring them up to the register to pay for them and have them activated. The transaction is handled much like other major retailers like Walmart or Target activate prepaid gift cards. All tickets will be on a credit card sized hard plastic media. Customers will pay the WDW advance purchase prices where available and save a few dollars off the prices charged at the park gates.

Since the tickets can be activated for different ticket values, the Disney Store can now offer more options for guests than they could before and the stores are less likely to run out of stock. Customers can choose from 4-day and 5-day Park Hoppers and 5, 6, and 7-day Park Hopper Plus passes. They can also get Annual and Premium Annual Pass vouchers as well. Prior to this new system, guests had to order the AP/PAP vouchers and wait anywhere from a week to three or four weeks for them to come in. Now they can purchase them with no waiting.

The hopper passes are the actual tickets which, after being paid for and activated at the Disney Store register, will work in the Walt Disney World theme park turnstiles exactly as tickets bought at the park would. The annual pass vouchers are treated just like before: you pay for the voucher at Disney Store and must take the voucher and receipt to Guest Relations at one of the four WDW major theme parks or to either Guest Relations office at Downtown Disney to trade it in for the actual activated pass. The 365 days of use starts on the day you do the exchange at Guest Relations, not when you purchased the voucher.

Two receipts will print up with the purchase/activation of these Disney Store tickets. If customers hold on to their receipts lost tickets can be more easily replaced at Walt Disney World Guest Relations. The receipts include ticket serial number information which is essential in replacing lost or destroyed tickets. These receipts eliminate the need to keep a photocopy of your tickets.

The receipts that print up with the purchase/activation provide the guest with an exclusive, unpublished toll-free WDW vacation planning phone number for hotel and dining reservations or to simply ask questions. The guests must have their tickets in hand to use the services offered at this number.

Please note that these tickets purchased from The Disney Store cannot be encoded onto your Resort ID when checking into a WDW Resort.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FLORIDA DISNEY STORE TICKET SALES - If you are buying WDW tickets at a Florida Disney Store, you will be paying Disney's gate price for all tickets purchased there. This is not a Disney mandated policy. Florida law prohibits these stores from offering any advance purchase discount on these tickets.

Good response Maraakl...I used the heck out that unpublished toll-free number that Disney provided on the receipt when we bought our hoppers from the Disney Store. The 800# is only good until you use your first day on your Hopper ticket. I wonder if the number is provided to customers who do not buy from the Disney Store.

Thank you so much for the information.
We have less than a month. I can't wait.

I know this is an old thread but, quote:You can get them for less at www.ticketmania.com. Is not correct for the 4 day hoppers.
They are $215. from the Disney store. Check prices everywhere before you buy your tix.
