Ticket question & getting around question......

[disney4us2002]

If you purchase discounted park hopper passes from someone other than Disney, can you still upgrade to an AP upon arrival at Disney? Will they know what we paid? We want to order passes but if AP discounts come out then we'll need one AP rather than a hopper.

Getting around.... I'm doing a tour at EPCOT alone and dh will take the boys to DisneyQuest in DD. My tour ends at noon so I want to meet up with the guys at DQ. Can I take a bus from EPCOT to DD? Do I monorail to T&TC and then bus to DD? Monorail back to resort (Poly) and bus from there. I'd like to get there the fastest way because they'll be ready to eat lunch.

TIA

Yes.

Yes. That information is encoded onto the magnetic strip on the back of the ticket. Note that you will get credit for what the broker paid Disney (wholesale price), not what you paid for the ticket.

I don't believe there is a bus from EPCOT to DD. I would recommend that you leave EPCOT via the International Gateway entrance - that's between France and Great Britain Pavillions in World Showcase portion of the park). Walk to the BC (5 - 10 minutes from the entrance). You can catch a DD bus there. If you are really in a hurry, you can also grab a cab there. It's just a short ride and should cost about $10-$12, including a tip.

Best wishes -

I would grab a cab if you are trying to catch up with your family fairly quickly. The route you suggested would work, but who knows how long it might take.
