Actually there would be a way to save. I just don't know how a US visitor could profit from this, as it seems to be on the UK "special offers" site only (offers vary from country to country).
For
UK, there's an online ticket (1 day, 2 parks) for £33. Has to be purchased at least 2 days in advance for a fixed date. Mail-order or online voucher (print out and present at the resort).
For
France, you can get a 'Billet Francilien' (1 day, 1/2 parks) for €29/34 during the week and €34/39 at the weekends or french summer holiday. Has to be purchased 5 days in advanced for a fixed date and can be changed to a standard ticket when you don't make it that date. This seems to be the '
best buy' for a 2-day trip with one park on each day (compared to a 2-day Hopper which is €103).
For (I think) all countries theres a special 4-day and 5-day Hopper offer – not being relevant in this thread.
Of course everybody can ask friends in the "offer-countries" to get the tickets for him/her. Tricking the online ticket system is possible, but you'll never know if the order will work. You might order online tickets to your french Hotel address for example, as there won't be anything to send out on paper. At least the small print for the Billet Francilien says: "Billet accesible a tous" = ticket available for everyone. No need to live in France then.
To be honest, I don't know at all why there are such differences in special offers :-(
I think that's all I can contribute
