You get a better deal with Shades. We use them every year, and you can get different types of passes. A Stars and Stripes pass gives you everything a hopper pass does. The only drawback is you must use the days consecutively. If you miss a day, you lose it. Also, if you don't use all the days, they expire on your checkout.The prices from Dec 2000 are as follows:
2 day 108 adult/86 child
3 day 147/117
4 day 177/142
5 day 209/168
6 day 236/189
7 day 261/211
8 day 289/233
You can also buy the regular Disney hopper passes
4 day is 170 adult/138 child
5 day 200/163
You can also get the hopper plus passes
5 day is 230 adult/188 child
6 day 260/213
7 day 290/238
The best part about getting your tickets at Shades of green is you don't pay TAX!
You can also buy annual passes now. They are 320 adult/270 child, and the Premium pass is 425/360
The shades also sells Universal and other attraction tickets at a discounted rate.
Hope this helps!
