Argh! The information that Disney does NOT give you...

Does anyone know how long the Park Hopper pass is? It says that it's as good for your stay, but if the stay is three nights, and you can't check into the hotel until 4, then do you get to use the ticket that first day, or not?

I guess what I'm asking is, does anyone know if it's a three day pass, or a four day pass?

Thanks a ton!

If you purchase a hopper pass as part of a package from Disney, they are almost always ultimate park hoppers, that are good from the moment you step on property to the day you check out. So, you arrive at 4 PM, check in and pick up your passes, and they are good until the parks close the day you check out. If you arrive earlier than check in, go check in anyways. Your room won't be ready, but you can pick up your passes, and stop by later to get your room assignment and keys.

I couldn't find any information about Magical Moments offer. Did they give you any other information?

[MickeyMac]

Yeah, it's on the Disney Club website, and sort of detailed on Mousesavers.com

I hve the codes for the 3-day room only rates, too, listed under code ZWFK - it's as follows, including tax:

Value - $249.07
Moderate - $313.45
Deluxe - $663.10 for the Polynesian, garden veiw

I got a better rate through my Annual Pass at $233. for the Value resorts, but for those who don't AP, these are great prices.

Code ZWFJ is for room/passes combination

Hey, don't you ever sleep? :p

The Magical Moment offer includes:

* Accommodations for three nights at a selected Walt Disney World® Resort Hotel
* The Ultimate Park Hopper ticket which provides admission to all four Disney Theme Parks and Water Parks throughout your package stay
* Commemorative 100 Years Of Magic luggage tag

The ultimate hopper is as I described above. I am sure that it was the luggage tag that sold you on this offer. I would assume that you could also add nights to this package, and the passes would stretch out to cover the entire time you are there.

Hey, don't you ever sleep?

Yes I do actually, just ask my wife. It is just shy of 10 MST here, so my kids are in bed, and this is the only quiet time I get on DC. In fact, I am out of here for tonight.

OMG!!OMG!!~ I lost my coffee with this one!! What a total crack up!! Yes, I'm sure it was the luggage tag too!

You mean there are other time zones other than Eastern?? LOL! I didn't realize that when I emailed back last night, thinking it was midnight for everyone!

hehehee! Thanks for starting my morning off right! Luggage tags! HA!

LOL...I just read this. Actually I got my luggage tags a few weeks ago, Wooohooo!!!

[tinkerbell]

arent the luggage tags soooo pretty!!! I wont use them though :) I didnt use our 2000 tags ..just put them up with my disney dollars ..

as to the pass .. we always arrive between 6 am and 7 .. we get our pass ..they store our bags and then we can go to the parks.. the pass is good from the moment you get it ..even if your room isnt ready ..till the last park closes on the day of your check out .. just as Mickey said ... and they will store your luggage even though you have checked out.. you can pick it up when your ready to actually leave

[MickeyMac]

You guys are too wonderful! Thank you! I am trying to go even cheaper - I think I'm going to get the new room only and just buy basic park hopper tickets. It doesn't give me the water parks, but my five year old doesn't do well at them anyways.

I *have* heard however, that WDW tickets are going up this month...

- must - get - my - act - in - gear!

You can buy passes at any Disney Store. Park Hoppers don't ever expire, so if it is true, you could save some money, if not, you don't lose anything.

My family and I are going in August,I know long time away but we got the resort magic plan and i did not get a luggage tag(wah) I want one to

[mickey]

kelliegad, welcome to Disneycentral. Don't worry about it, they will show up. Disney will send them to you eventually. They usually send stuff like this out in big batches, so your batch just hasn't come up yet.

By the way, where are you going to stay and for how long?

[kelligad]

thanks for your reply. we are staying at the all stars sports in Auguust 10-16. i jnow it will be hot, but i wonder how crowded it will be have you ever been in August before? my family and i can't wait,august is just to far away.

[lopo]

I was at WDW last August (the last week in Aug.) Although it was hot, we had a wonderful time. Each day we visited the parks form opening 'til about one o'clock. At that time, we went back to the resort, ate lunch, rested by the pool (taking dips to cool off), showered and changed, and returned to the parks about five o'clock. Then we stayed 'til closing. We had a group spanning ages five to 48. Everybody did very well with the schedule. We had a 'wicked good' time!

I'd advise you to follow the general rules for spending time outdoors when it is hot and sunny. (You know: wear light colors and natural fabrics, use sunscreen, drink water, etc.)
