Tickets bought online and printed at home query

[TK421]

Hi,

I am going to DLP next week and I am planning on buying tickets online via the website and printing them at home. Has anyone else tried this? I saw a thread from April talking about going through a separate entrance but no-one knew how to get Fast Past tickets.

Anyone found anything new?

Thanks for any help

My understanding is that when you go through the separate entrance for the pre-printed tickets (to the far right if you are going into the main park first) that you then get a standard ticket given to you as you go through enabling you to use the Fastpass machines.

Thanks for the reply.
I ended up buying tickets from my local Disney Store. I phoned them this morning and it turns out they are £2 a ticket cheaper than the website.

Stuart, Just answered your PM before I saw this post. Glad your got your tickets! Have a great trip.

For anyone else interested...the special entrance, I think it's marked "Home Printed Tickets" (it's the only set marked specially so it's easy to find) is the far left set of turnstiles as you are entering the main park. They have special handheld scanners for your tickets and they check your passport to make sure the names match the ticket (didn't know we needed these, but we had them). They hand you a FastPass there to use for the day (don't leave the turnstile without getting one). You'll need the ticket again if you're parkhopping (handstamps didn't work for us). PM me if you need more details. Oh, also- If you buy a dated ticket online (for use on a specific date of your choice) you actually print a voucher which has to be exchanged for a ticket at a desk outside the park (another line we didn't want to wait in so we bought the undated actual ticket ones) before you can go to the turnstiles. We did save money by buying them online though as we bought them just before the price increase this Spring.

RoosMum - is there a gate at the left too as we saw one at the right close to the entrance to the Disneyland Hotel and Salon Mickey.

Thanks for the PM, I will print it out as some of our group (a big family holiday) may buy tickets online.

I'm not sure about the right side, was what you saw just a regular looking turnstile, but marked the same as what I saw? We walked to the turnstiles after entering under DLH, actually toward the right and asked the first CM we found and he directed us to the special turnstile all the way on the other side- left. Maybe they have one on each side and only one was open that day since it wasn't all that busy? I know there is a special desk to exchange the vouchers I mentioned (Goofy Desk?) that is over on the right near Salon Mickey, but that's not an entrance from what I understand, just a place to get the voucher exchanged for a ticket. BTW... I love the "Mum", I really do enjoy the Brit slang...it's "fab".
