Park Hoppers

[dischick4778]

I'm trying to get the most for my $ here. I will be staying at AKL 5 days (11/13-11/17) but will only be visiting parks on three days (11/14-11/16). I want to be able to go from park to park on those three days. What would you say is the best PH to buy?

I've seen the 4 day hopper for $212 with tax from AAA. But am wondering if there is a 3 day hopper and if it would be worth the cost. Help, please! Thanks!!

Hello!!! I don't think I have ever seen a 3-day hopper pass. I do remember them being offered a few years back though, but I don't think they are offered any more.

I supposed the 4-day Hopper Pass would be your best bet if you want to hop between the parks. Maybe you could spend four days in the parks rather than three.

Have fun!!!

Think of your 4 day hopper as an investment. Use as many days as you want and save the rest for your next trip. The days never ever expire and when you go back you can be guaranteed the prices will be higher on new passes. When we took our daughter to Disney for the first time a few years ago, my Dad suprised me with an un-used 20 year old paper ticket for the MK that he had from our family trip from my 16th birthday. (ugh oh, I think I just told my age) It had a price of $20.00 on it. When we turned it in at the gate they were so surprised to see it that other employees were called over. It was an antique.

if you plan to visit the parks on the three "middle" days (not check in or check out day) i have read where you can buy uph's at guest relations after check in for "length of stay, minus first and last day"

i would say it's worth a call to guest relations!

There are no 3 day Park Hopper passes anymore. It starts at 4 days. I would check guest relations as well & see what can be done. But I do agree that a Park Hopper pass is an investment...you can save what you do not use for your next trip to WDW & already be ahead of the game.

That is what we did...we bought the 7 day park hopper plus pass. We were in WDW in May & going again in Dec. on the same pass

We have bought UPH's at the resort on a few of our trips since we would not be using the first or last day. We ususally fly in late at night and leave midday when we go home. We have never had any problems doing this when you book a room only at the resorts. The UPH's are a little more expensive when you buy them at the hotel, but well worth the savings of the extra days.

Wow, thanks so much for all of the great advice! I had no idea that you could get UPHs for every day but the first and last. That's exactly what I'm looking to do. But now I'm thinking some of you are right about purchasing a larger pass now and saving on future trips. Ahhh, what to do? Isn't this a great dilemma to have?!

If you go to the budget board and do a search on 3 day park
hopers, I think there are still some places you can get them.
I also understand Alamo car rental sells them but you have to have a car reservation with them.

Have discovered recently that there are other legitimate sources for 3 day Park Hopper passes. I have posted the link at the bottom, hope I did it right. In that thread, BethR posted a link to a great site for passes. I, uhum, then decided to debate the legitimacy of these type of sites and was, very nicely, set straight by Mary Waring of Mousesavers and BethR. Look into it. They truly have great rates if all you need are a few days.

concider a five day park hopper. I bought 4 day hoppers for the four of us back in March. We had 1 day left over from a prior visit. After they arrived I found out that for a grand total of $90 more for all four of us (2 adults, 2 kids) we could get 5 day passes. I called Disney qan they said to mail the 4 day one sback and they would trade them out for me and just debit me the difference. We have one day left on those now and just bought ANOTHER set of 5 day ones. Think we may trade them for the AP's
