WDW tickets - potential bargain

[Helen Clayton]

I've found a UK website that is offering 10day world ticket passes for wdw at virtually the same price as a 5 day hopper plus. The site is http://www.theflightshop.co.uk/theme_price.htm

We were going to buy a 5 day pass as we are only in Orlando for 6 nights. Would we be able to buy a 10 day pass and use it between us - i.e. the single ticket would be swiped twice for us both to get in.

This would be a massive saving if we could do this

Thanks
Helen

No you wouldn't be able to do that. Only one person may use a park admission per day. The WDW computers keep track of when a pass has been used. So in your case each person would need their own admission pass.

Plus those prices are in Pounds I don't know the equivalent maybe someone can tell us if that is a good deal with the Dollar-Pound conversion.

 

[Maleficent2]

is 1.426

so if something is 10.00L(pounds) it would cost us $14.26

Are you kidding me? 10 day passes for under $15.00???
Can we buy those too?

As I am from the UK I have taken advantage of this ticket for my trip in May, If you convert £'s into $'s then the cost of the ticket is around $264. So compaired with the price you can get tickets in the US is this realy a good bargain?

 

[cindyfan]

No No No......that comes to $268, if I did the math right
BUT.......what kind of pass is this!!!????
I've never heard of a 10 day pass?
If you look at the INFO page:
It does not say it is a "hopper"! and can only be used beginning May 1st through Oct. Expires 20 days after first use. When they say "....allowing you to visit more than one park on one day" I think that means one of the 4 parks plus either a water park or DQ or Sports complex.
I guess if that would work for you.
But,I have always felt....if it sounds too good to be true....it usually is. There seems to be more to this.
I am not sure I would feel comfortable purchasing tickets from anyone other than WDW or TDS!

Oh yea, the tickets no matter where purchased, usually state "non-transferrable"...so NO to trying to use the same ticket for more that one person per day!

I wonder if they only sell this in the UK. It would make sense that perhaps they might sell a longer pass there thinking that since it so far people might come for longer stays, but come less often. I

This is definitely a pass marketed to the UK market. Many UK visitors come for long trips (2+ weeks is very common) so having a pass like this as an option is a great idea for them. It would also work for any other visitor here for 5+ park days (since it is nearly equal in price to a 5 day PHP) who wants unlimited admission to the water parks and DQ which you cannot get with a PH or regular AP.

I do think these are hopper passes but the website does not specifically use that term so it would be important to verify this before ordering.

A character breakfast is also included which is a nice bonus. Also, these passes do expire 20 days after their first use so that would be another thing to consider.

These appear to be legitimate passes to me - they are unfamiliar to us just because they appear not to be marketed here. If your visit coincides with the applicable dates and you could make full use of these passes, they seem like a great deal to me.

Thanks for the replies. Just to confirm about the validity of the tickets. I am from the UK and quite a few high street travel agents here are offering the same sort of deal - a 10 day pass for the same price as 5 days. I know of 4 or 5 places I could buy them at this sort of price and can assure you that they are genuine. There are some conditions regarding dates and expiry but if they fit in with your plans it looks like a good deal.

LOL that would be a good deal I was just showing a conversion example.


And yes these are LEGIMATE tickets as Helen stated but I would be very careful trying to purchase these if I was not a BRIT.One I doubt they would mail them to any US address.

Also as akasleepingbeauty said most Brits come to the World for much longer than us Americans(inlaws are Brits they usually stay 15 days at WDW)so that is why they offer this pass to them.

Hey Mal,

Anyone notice it says they accept orders from the US. Now I am very curious!! I sent them an email to see how they handle orders from the U.S. I will post the reply when I get it.

 

[Kal El]

but just to let you all know I think the offer runs out today (tickets have to be orderd before 31/03/02 or for all the US people 03/31/02).

OK im stupid, just looked at the site again it now says 31/05/02 (US 05/31/02). They must have extended the offer as I am sure it was as I stated above

 

[jgates]

This would be ideal for us. My dd & I could go to the parks for just a portion of a day while my son is golfing, etc. And they both want Disney Quest.

1. Has anyone completed an order to find out shipping to US?

2. Also, do we dare ask Disney if they are valid for US Citizens?

Also, before you order, check to see what your Credit Card charges you for foreign rates. Some of the major players have recently raised their overseas exchange rates-just make sure you pick the best one.

 

[Pixie Power!]

Its a real shame that they have to be used before that date, it would of been a great buy for me for my trip in december Lets hope they extend it!

[renessa]

Just wondering if anyone has found out about shipping charges/ credit card conversion rates. This is much better than the DC discount. Thanks so much for posting!

 

[jgates]

Well, I feel like I am dealing with politicians when I try to find out from them! I just can't spend the $$ unless I know they can be used by Americans! I still have received no email reply from the company overseas. However, this is the wishy-washy reply from Disney. NEVER answers the question as to whether they can be used or not. Of course, the Ultimate lists no prices on the web site link either!

WHERE CAN WE GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER???????????????? I tried the phone number and they said quote ' the most we offer is a 7 day pass'.

Maybe you could post this on the UK board and see if anyone there has purchased this ticket.

 

[Helen Clayton]

Hi, I am from the UK and the company on the internet are about 30miles from my home. I can buy the tickets at a similar offer price of £195 per adult at my high street travel agent. The ticket price has been much higher and it looks like this offer is just until 31 Oct. As far as I can tell there is no stipulation that the ticket has to be used by a UK resident. If I can be any more help let me know. If there was an inexpensive way I could mail them to US residents I would be happy to do so but I suspect the costs in currency transfer (paypal or similar) and insured postage would make the tickets too expensive.

In the meantime here is another UK site (legitimite - I've bought airline tickets from them before) who offer the 10 day pass at a good rate.
