Anyone have info on these?

We are MAYBE taking a short trip next May 3 days @ parks and a day or 2 at the waterparks. (WOOHOO! Got DH hooked on his first trip he can't wait to go back!)

We are considering them but can't find info anywhere. Are they PHP's? or just PH? Cost for adult and child?

Thanks!

Sorry to say but there is no such thing anymore. I was just looking or these not to long ago and found out through Mousketrips and DC that they are not available anymore. I am getting 4 days hoppers and saving the remaining day for another trip. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

[zoey9797]

Argh! Well, guess I might just have to get those 5 day php's after all... LOL
It is an investment you know ;o)
Thanks for the info!

No problem on the information. Sorry I couldn't give you better news. Yes, look at it as an investment. No expiration on them and you will have a day or two for the next trip at this year's prices. So, technically you are saving yourself money in the long run.

Hello
I found this on mousesavers. I hope it helps!

3-Day Hopper, 3-Day Hopper PLUS and 4-Day Park Hopper PLUS
The hardest ticket to find is the 3-Day Hopper with no plus features. It exists, but very few places sell it. It is an excellent value for people who are planning a short trip and don't plan to visit a water park. There are also 3-Day and 4-Day Hopper PLUS passes that can occasionally be obtained. None of these tickets are sold at the theme park ticket booths.

The 3-Day and 4-Day Hopper PLUS passes give you either 3 or 4 days's admission to the major theme parks and one "Plus" feature, which can be used for admission to Pleasure Island or one of Disney's water parks. Like the better-known 5-, 6- and 7-Day Park Hopper PLUS passes, the unused days and "Plus" features on the 3-Day and 4-Day Park Hopper PLUS passes never expire.

All of the above passes are considered "multi-day passes," so they include access to the Disney transportation system.

There are legitimate sources of the 3-Day Hopper, 3-Day Hopper PLUS and 4-Day Hopper PLUS passes, but availability comes and goes. It is not always easy to get these tickets.
Ticket Brokers

A legitimate Orlando ticket broker, Ticket Mania, sometimes offers the 4-Day Hopper PLUS passes to MouseSavers Newsletter readers at the lowest prices I've seen. These tickets are not offered to the general public, only to subscribers. Click here to subscribe to the FREE e-mail newsletter.

Alamo/Disney Preferred Ticketing

Alamo is Disney's "official" car rental agency. Because of this special relationship, Alamo customers can buy Walt Disney World tickets through a special Disney department called Preferred Ticketing. This department can sell you some of the more unusual tickets, such as 3-Day Park Hopper PLUS tickets.

To order, call (888) 317-6392 or (407) 934-7639. Depending on the phone agent you speak with, you may have to confirm that you have a reservation with Alamo in order to qualify. However, just because you make a reservation with Alamo before you call to buy your tickets, there's nothing to say you can't decide later to cancel your reservation, right? So in reality it's pretty easy for anyone to use this number to order the 3-Day Park Hopper PLUS.

Currently you can buy the 3-Day Park Hopper PLUS for $178.93 adult, $143.79 child, including tax.

Standard shipping to US addresses is free, or they will deliver to many local hotels, or you can pick up the passes at the "will call" window at any of the four theme parks.

Thanks to Joe D for updated info.

Hi!

Like you, we were planning a rather short trip to Disney and wanted the 3 day hoppers and could not find them anywhere. I was finally referred to the folks at www.ticketmomma.com/catalog. While not advertised on their site, when I called they DID have the 3 day hopper plus tickets available, including admission into a water park of your choice for one day. I paid $200.00 per adult ticket and $165.00 for a children's ticket. I opted to pay for express shipping to have them in hand when we left home (shipping at $13), however, you can also pick them up in Orlando upon arrival at no charge. You might want to check with them to see if they offer what you are looking for.

If you're staying on-site, you can still get an ultimate park hopper pass for 3 days.

Disney on-line sells a 4 day hopper ticket for $202.

Has anyone ever purchased a 3 day Park Hopper from ticketmomma.com? Just curious, because my DD and son-in-law are going to Disney in Oct.and only my son-in-law needs a ticket for 3 days. Talked to them at ticketmomma this afternoon, and they do have a 3 day PH. It would cost $175 plus if we want we could have them deliver the ticket to the Resort that they will be staying at for $13. The woman said they would deliver the ticket the day before, and the Resort would put it away, and they will then give the ticket to my son-in-law the day he arrives. Need some answers to this question before we actually do this. I guess I'm just a little skeptical about this. They said it's a travel agent special, that's why they can sell 3 day PH's. I guess I don't understand, how they can sell them, and Disney does not. Hope I can get some answers. Thanks!!! JOANN

Joann -
Please let me know how this works out for your SIL if they end up getting them. I would much rather spend the $175 on a 3 day park hopper for my DBF and his DS than get a 4 day one for $202. They are only going to be there for three days and my DBF is only going to the parks two days. I'm starting to rethink my hopper plan and get single day tickets for my DBF and just the hopper for his son.... I'm babbling...sorry Joann. Let me know please if you get any info or how it works if they actually get them. Thanks!

I would think that buying tickets now for 5 years in advance would actually be a good idea, because you save the money that they would increase for tickets.

That's only partially true.

A UPH is actually a length of stay pass which is enabled as soon as you check in and is valid until midnight of the day you check out.

So, if you show up on the morning of your checkin day and stay late on checkout day, then it's really a 4-day pass (considering that the shortest package is 3 nights).

I just ordered tickets for my sister for her November trip from this site.

http://www.discountorlandovacation.c...t&ref=specials

They are not advertised on the regular site but when you sign up to be on their email list they send out the email that i got and attached above for you. On another board I have heard great reviews from them. I am always worried about credit information going to a company that I dont know. I even went and called the Better Business Bureau just to be safe and they check out good. They sent me an email immediately after my order and stated they would send me an email when my tickets were sent out. Hope it helps. and the prices include tax and priority mail shipping.
