UPDATE pg. 2 NOT "convention" tickets..4-day Park Hoppers - $205 and $165

[C.Ann]

At DiscountOrlandoVacations.com

Although these tickets EXPIRE 14-days from first use, for someone planning a short trip like I am, they seem pretty good..

Has anyone BOUGHT tickets there and already USED them? Want to make sure that they're legit..

Thanks!

I am curious too C.Ann...as they list the 30 day FITS pass...saying it does not expire 'till 4/05. I thought I read somewhere that they cannot be used after 12/20...or maybe that is the 10 day pass....it is all becoming a blur! Let's hope we hear from someone!

Disney Hopper Passes don't have an expiration date. So DiscountOrlandoVacations.com added the expiration dates in order to sell the tickets cheaper. Huummm, I wouldn't buy these tickets.

Good to see you two are being cautious.

AAA is still cheaper. They are $198.95 & $159.50. If you are a AAA member - be sure to get them there. I haven't found anyone that beats that price.

Does that AAA price include tax? If so, that would make them a better deal than even the military tickets available through SOG.

My AAA are $215.13 and $172.53 (tax not included) plus the $50 membership fee..

I could have sworn that someone here said they purchased from DiscountOrlandoVacations.. I hope they see this post and provide us with some further information..

AAA Louisiana is $211.50 for 4 day park hopper - tax included.

Different states, different prices ?????????

This is what my 4 day hoppers were at the Disney store, give or take a few cents and WITH tax. You pay Florida tax at the Disney Store from any other state, plus no membership fee, shipping fee and tickets NEVER EXPIRE.

Yes, different AAA's have different prices.

C.Ann,

I think if you go over to the budget board you might find someone who has used the company.
Ticketmania.com has the 4 day pass with one plus for 227.00 for adults and 186.00 for children. This included tax and shipping.

Sorry but you are incorrect.

The ticket C.Ann is referring to is a recently released specialty ticket from the same family of specialty tickets as FITS. It's called a 4 day Expiry ticket and is currently available only through the ticket wholesalers although not all may elect to carry it. It is not available directly from Disney.

This tickets does expire. You can purchase it now and use it any time in the future but the entire ticket expires 13 days after the first use. So be prepared to use the entire 4 Days up on your present vacation.

Have you bought from them? Do you know if it's a legit company?

No problem using it up within the time frame - we'll only have 4 full parks days and then we fly back home again.. Also, we have no need for "plusses"..

This sounds like a pass meant to be sold to convention attendees. They offer better rates, but have expiration dates within 2 weeks of first use.

Hello!

I have heard of people on this board buying passes from that website with no problem. If you are still concerned, I got a four day hopper that does expire within a certain number of days (I thought it was ten, but I certainly could be wrong) for the same amount you are paying from www.mapleleaftickets.com. I have bought tickets before from Mapleleaf and they are VERY reputable.

 

[C.Ann]

Okay - I just emailed this company and those prices INCLUDE tax and they are currently offering free shipping..

They are also "tickets" - not vouchers - and do not become activated until the day you acutally use them at the parks..

So....................what do you think?

Checked mapleleaf, but they were higher..

I think DiscountOrlandoVacations.com should be fine.

Did you try a search to see if there have been any other threads about them? I seem to recall seeing a thread about them recently.

 

[LisaRay]

Where on there website did you see the tickets for $205/$165? I went to check this out but don't see those prices anywhere.

Try this link - these specials are from their newsletter and not in the regular shopping cart.

I also just noticed that they are a "proud member of the Better Business Bureau".. Maybe I could run a check on them?

If you'd feel more comfortable buying from Maple Leaf, email Maple Leaf with the URL and price info on what you found. They will charge you $1 less than the other site. If the price you found includes shipping, tell them that too and they'll waive the shipping charge.
