WDW tickets - potential bargain

[akghutton]

To all of you interested in the 10-day World Pass:
I just received a reply from The Flight Shop regarding the 10-day World pass. I will be ordering my passes this week, as even with the $80.00 shipping charge, I will still be saving over $200. Good luck to all.

Dear Keely,

There is no restriction on the Disney World Pass for US citizens.
However, for orders from the USA we are required to charge an additional
USD 80.00 to cover Federal Express shipping and credit card charges.
With best regards
Mike Morton

FWIW, I recently ordered hopper tickets from this web site:

http://reservations.paramountinternationaltravel.com/DisneyOrderTickets.asp


They also offer a 10 day world pass for $335 plus shipping which sounds very much like the pass described above. I considered this pass, but since our trip will be less than 10 days and the pass expires 20 days after first use, it didn't work for us.

This company is located in Vineland, FL and has a toll free customer sevice number (which I used to order and ask questions). Shipping charge is $15 per order. Discounts appear to be approximately 10% off gate. Even after paying shipping, I saved more than I would with the DC discount. I did have to mail in a copy of my credit card (you could also fax it), but the tickets were sent promptly.

While I have not yet used the hopper tickets I purchased, they appear to be the exact same hopper tickets sold by Disney. I cannot tell the difference from those I have purchased in the past from the Disney Store or at the gate.

HTH someone.

Good Morning USA !!! )

Jimmie from England calling.

The reason for these 10 day world passes in the UK is because Disney do insist that all people trying to book WDW resorts via UK travel agents must also purchase ultimate park hopper passes.
For people staying offsite, they have designed the 10 day world pass instead.
There is currently a special offer which makes them look very competitive.

190 Quid (pounds) is the best price but also includes free character breakfast ( and some others at 199 pounds (260 dollars) may also include free character breakfast and a free WDW lunch (http://www.keithprowsetickets.com/WaltDisneyWorld.html) if they ever update the website. You could always try telephoning.
It is easy, (I am phoning USA all the time) just remove the first 0 then dial 0044 then dial the rest of the number.
Ask them if they will ship to USA.

CarolMN, your link isn't working - at least not for me.

And Keely, are you ordering on-line or by phone?

I'm sorry it isn't working. I'm not sure why, because my bookmark still works and I copied the actual link. Well, anyway, try this:

http://www.disneyareainfo.com/index.htm

After you get there, click on the "Walt Disney World & Magic Kingdom" link (on left side under Attractions) and then on the "Request Tickets icon". I'll try it myself after posting and then edit this post if it doesn't work.

OK, First price is adult-2nd is child for reference here.
Disney's 4 Day Park Hopper Plus (1 plus) $210 $168
Disney's 5 days Park Hopper Plus $238 (2 plus) $189
Disney's 6 days Hopper Plus w/breakfast (3 plus) $262 $215
Disney's 7 days Park Hopper Plus (4 plus) $284 $231
Disney's 10 days World Pass $335 $275
Disney's Florida Fun in the Sun Ticket $278 $225
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park $29 $23
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL $65 $39
DISNEY QUEST $28 $22

Children's ages are 3 to 9.

For add'l reference, does anyone have a quick list of comparison prices for the hopper plus passes from Connections? After trying the 10 day pass and hitting a $945 price (ACK!) for the 10 day passes, I'm considering going back to the 6 day hoppers w/breakfast for $739. At least I can save unused days if need be. ?Or maybe the Fun in the Sun ticket? I haven't seen that one mentioned before but it's good for 30 days according to the pop-up window.

I apologize if I missed this in our ongoing thread, but has anyone ordered from this company besides CarolMN? If so, were tickets used with no problem? I may still wait slightly in case I would have to dispute any issues with my credit card, but they sound great.

Because my husband and I are taking care of the accommodations for our trip through the DVC, my parents, who are joining us, are paying for the park tickets. That being said, I am going to go with what they feel most comfortable doing, I assume we will just order on-line.

I like the looks of the Fun in the Sun package... for 2 adults & 2 children it's only 50.00 more than the six day hopper... so if you're going for 2 weeks for instance it's a great deal... If you're going back within a year & don't need waterpark passes, the regular AP is still ideal for that....

Thanks to CarolMN for posting the website, it looks like a really good source...

jgates and others interested in the Disney's Florida Fun in the Sun passes:
I e-mailed the reservation center at the website that is advertising these passes to inquire about the restrictions that apply, as noted in the pass descriptions. Apparently, they cannot sell the tickets to certain areas, NY, being one of them. They have put in a request for authorization to sell them to me and will let me know when they get a response.
If you are interested in these passes, make sure that they are allowed to sell them to the area you live in.
I will post their reply when I get it.

Good luck and thanks for the information.

Is this the same company that had a lot of posts earlier in the year and was suspected of selling used passes.

Please post after you use the passes to let us know how it worked out.

Thanks,

Cris

I just received this e-mail regarding the Disney's Florida Fun in the Sun passes:

Dear Mrs. Hutton,
We can not offer you the Florida Fun tickets.
Those are only available for some European Markets.
Sorry

 

[chris1gill]

Awe... What a bummer, it was such a good deal... Maybe you could make a new friend in Europe!!!

Well, I certainly hope not. However, if it is true, I wonder why how they could still be in business?

I did call the listed toll free number and talked to a real person. They sent the tickets UPS and even sent me an email with the tracking number. They have an office in Vineland, FL and according to their website are a "Florida Licensed Seller of Travel # ST-32671". In addition to WDW tickets, they book hotel accomodations and sell lots of other attraction tickets. Of course, none of that is any guarantee that they are a legitimate company and I did NOT check them out with the state of Florida or the Orlando Chamber of Commerce or the Better Business Bureau. That said, my belief is that if they were not legitimate, they would have disappeared a long time ago.

We will not be using the park hopper tickets until mid-August, but I will most certainly post (and post often and everywhere) if there is any problem using them.

Here is a conversion chart http://www.xe.com/ucc/

This would save our family around $300.00 not even including the character breakfast. They also sell the orlando flex tickets. Could someone tell me if this is legit? It would really be cool! Their site says that they give the tickets, not a certificate- is that good or bad?

 

[presleyg]

Is the multiday these guys are offering the same as park hoppers? It says multiday but is that more than one park on the same day? It says that the waterparks and disneyquest are unlimited, but it just says multiday on the four main parks. I'm trying to figure out if the savings are worth it if we can't hop from one park to another . Thanks!

Here is the previous thread for Paramount. Some of the posters checked with Disney regarding this company.

actually I was looking for more info. on the 10day world tickets that theflightshop is offering. On their website is says that they will fedex them to US (80.00 more). I sent an email to disney regarding the restriction on these passes, I know that they are geared to the UK market. Unless there is a residency clause, like the Florida tickets then I'm hoping to be able to use them. I just wanted something in writing from Disney. Thanks!

 

[akghutton]

presleyg,
Please post Disney's response to your 10-day World Pass inquiry when you hear back from them. Thanks

 

[presleyg]

I will, but not sure how long they take to get back to you. I've never e-mailed them before.

I had already posted my reply from Disney on the 10 Day WP back on page 2-

We believe that you are referring to the 10-Day Worldpass, which is marketed in the United Kingdom and other international markets. Although we do not monitor who uses the 10-day Worldpass tickets (since passes may be given as gifts), that type of pass is only available for purchase from those specific markets and does have certain limitations. The 10-Day Worldpass does have an expiration date and if it becomes demagnetized or damaged and needs to be reissued, you may be questioned as to where you purchased the pass


So, consequently, if you do manage to get a company to ship them to you-it should be useable. Although, if you did run into one of the end problems where they questioned you, you probably better say it was a gift or risk the company you purchased from losing their ability to sell Disney passes.

I still haven't decided what to do-I'll probably calculate the exchange rate a little closer to our leaving time-may just order a Connections pass if I join that.
