Ultimate Hopper Pass question

[doggy]

Can someone tell me if they have had any experience buying
the Ultimate Hopper Pass (lenght of stay pass), when staying
in one of the Downtown Disney Hotels (Hotel Royal, Grosvernor, etc).

I was told that you qualify for the Ultimate Hopper passes at these
resort now too, unlike in the past when you had to stay at one
of the Disney Resorts.

For those that have had some experiences with this, where do you
buy the pass and when can you buy it and how is it done?

Hi,
I just got off the phone with Hotel Royal Plaza, and, also, spoke with CRO. This is what I was told:
You may purchase the Ultimate Park Hopper (legth of stay) passes at any of the 7 Downtown Disney Hotels.
Each of these hotels has a Disney shop within the premises that is owned and operared by Disney(unlike the hotel itself which is non-Disney owned nor operated).
The price of a particular admission is the same as if you purchased your ticket as a WDW guest.
You may also apply the Disney Club discount on admission tickets if you are a member of the Disney Club, I believe it its 20%.
I was just quoted, by HRP, a price of $343., 7n/8d (our length of stay) excluding tax or any applicable discount.
Hope this helps.

It's less than 20%, regular price for a 7 night/8 day Ultimate Park Hopper is $363.60, with the DC discount the price is $346.65.

The $363.60 price is for the 7n/8d pass including the sales tax.
Thanks for the update on the exact discount using the DC discount.

Here's a DIS link to info on WDW ticket options and prices:

http://www.wdwig.com/hnews.htm#671

It has prices including tax for the UPH all the way from 1 night/2 days to 12 nights/13 days. It shows the regualr price for both adult and child and also lists the price with the DC discount.

FWIW, it also says you can buy these tickets if you are staying at any WDW resort, the Swan/Dolphin or any of the DD Hotels.

The info can also help you decide if the UPH will be the best/most economical option for your party.

Have fun planning!
