Room Keys and Park Passes

[woody5]

I currently have room only reservations. If I call down and purchase 5 day park hopper passes, will they be coded on our room keys as well or will they be separate as if you bought them on the Disney store or at the gate?

Separate - only Ultimate Park Hoppers are encoded on the room keys, since they are for the length of stay and expire midnight of your checkout day.

Unless they have changed something you may be able to get your room key and passes on the same card. When we went in 2002 I bought my passes when we checked in and asked to have them put on my room keys.

I agree - I got a 5 day park hopper at Port Orleans and they coded it to my room key.

I remember because a year later I found the room key and wondered why I had hung onto it. I'm glad I didn't throw it away - it had 2 days left!

That's the beauty of park hoppers.

BUT....its cheaper to buy the passes in advance. I dont think you can buy passes in advance and have them be your room key. So if you really want the convenience of pass and room key on the same card just buy them when you get there otherwise purchase tickets in advance for the discount.

You should be able to get them on your card. We went last year stayed two nights. The second day we went down to buy one day park tickets. They put them on our cards.
Hope this helps.

If you order the tickets for anything other than a UPH prior to your arrival at the resort, they will charge you for the price of the ticket and mail a regular ticket to you. Even if you bring this ticket and your receipt to the front desk when you check in, it cannot be encoded onto your ID. Advantage to ordering in advance is the price discount.

If you wait to purchase the ticket until you check in, then anything that you buy at the resort can be encoded onto your ID. Disadvantage is that you will pay the higher gate price.
