ultimate park hopper at resorts

[lwilson105]

Hello, still trying to plan the perfect vacation and was wondering if the Ultimate Park Hopper pass was only offered at Disney Resorts. Are they offered at any of the Hotels near Downtown Disney?
Thanks!

So here you go, yes UPH tickets are only available at the resorts, primarily because they are only good for the guest "length of stay" at a Disney resort! So if your staying 6 days 5 nights you can only get tickets for either 6,5,or 4 days it's the only way the come, sorrie. And they must be used consecutively, these tickets are the best value imagineable, as long as you are definitely going to the parks for those days consecutively. Especially cause they give you access to DisneyQuest, Both Waterparks, and Pleasure Island! If you're not going to go consecutively go with a regular Park Hopper or a Park Hopper Plus (the one with a few visits to the waterparks, etc..) Also you same more money if you buy tickets in advance! BIG SAVINGS THERE! Anywho to wrap it up sold at all Disney Resort Hotels and most on Hotel Plaza Blvd (hotels by Downtown Disney) discuss ticket options on the phone, you can get awesome deals, I promise! Any questions I'll be here!

I don't know about the DTD hotels, but I do know the Swan/Dolphin has UPH passes for your length of stay. You can drop the first or last day of your trip, but I don't think both days. We buy the Park Hopper Plus passes instead because they never expire, and you can take a break from the parks in the middle of your trip. I'm not sure where in MO you are from, but we bought ours from the Disney Store in Kansas City. You definitely will save (money as well as time) by getting them in advance.

Sorry to barge in with another question, but...

How do you buy your UPH ahead of time at the Disney Store if you're going to be staying at the Dolphin? Do you need to show proof of a reservation or do they check to see if you have one or what? I guess I'm just a little confused

Thanks

You can't buy UPH at the disney store...the previous poster mentioned buy PHP passes at the disney store.

I have booked the 5 + 2 dreammaker but we are actually staying 13 nights so will have the UPH for 14 days. But on our last day we have to leave the resort by 8:00 am for our flight-will they let us drop the last day?? Is this pretty much a given or will it depend on who is working and what they want to do for us?? Also if they can drop it how does the refund work since we will have paid in advance for the whole package???

The only way you can buy a UPH at the advance purchase price when staying at the Swan or Dolphin is to have booked the reservation through WDTC and have it added to the reservation. Now most people will not have done this as you can almost always get better rates and discounts by booking directly through S/D.

If you booked this with anyone other than WDTC, you can only purchase your UPH at the Disney Guest Services desk when you check in. You will be paying gate price though.

No they won't. Tickets purchased as part of a package cannot be changed or modified in any way.

It's one of the few things relating to Disney ticket policy that is etched in stone. It cannot be done.
