Park Tickets???

[jilljill]

Does anyone know the different types of tickets and their prices that are available? We are going the end of July (only for 2 days) and then again June '04 and we are trying to decide which tickets to purchase. Also, do the hopper tickets expire or are they good 'forever' like at WDW?
TIA

The park hopper tickets do have an expiration date on them unlike the ones at WDW. Your best option would be to purchase a park hopper for full price from the maingate. When you do that, they are good for two full years. The tickets that you order online or from WDTC are usually only good for 13 days after the first use. THe ticket windows only list the three and four day park hoppers but you may check to see if they still sell the 5 day hoppers. Actually, I can check if you want me to.
Another option would be annual passes but the only one that would be good for oyu would be the Deluxe AP which is $165. This would also only work if you did not plan on going to the parks on a Saturday. During June and July, Saturdays are definately blackout days for all AP's except for the premium.

LeftCoaster,
Wow , if you don't mind getting me the prices that would be great. We will be arriving on a Sat. in July this year and we don't have any dates for next year yet, as we have just decided to go next year. I am thinking the 4 day, or if a 5 day is available, would be good. Next year we will have kids with us and will want to go to other places while in So. CA.
Thanks so much for the offer.

I checked today and they do not sell the 5 day park hopper at the windows. So, the 4 day would have to be the one. Now, depending on what your dates for next year might be, it might be feasible to still get a Deluxe annual pass. You'd have to make sure that next year, you don't plan on going to the parks on a Saturday (a black out day for the deluxe Ap).
Any other questions or scenarios you want me to consider for you?
