I have been searching all morning for this, so please excuse this question if you feel I'm being repetitive. Is there such a thing as a 3 Day Park Hopper Pass? If so, how much is it? I can only find a Four day Park Hopper. Thanks!

Dana, I've heard about this, I've also heard about a 2 day pass. Actually the 2 day passes I've found on e-bay, as if they work or now I couldn't tell ya.
As for the three day passes, there were some travel clubs you have to join to get them. Urgh I forget which ones they were though, Maple leaf or hotwire I think??
But supposedly there are some, but as far as I've ever know 4 days is the lowest one Disney officially sells.

Hotwire? No kidding. I actually have an account with them! I didn't even think about checking them. DUH! Thanks DST! I defiantely need a three day pass and do not want to go the route of the single day passes for parks...that could be a problem if we want to go somewhere else. I am so used to coming and going in and out of the parks that being restricted to onlly one per day would feel like punishment I will have to go check out hotwire. Thanks again!

Dana,
They no longer offer a 3 day park hopper pass.... The 3 day pass is for individual parks, sooooo if you want to hop, you would need to use 2 different passes... The best that you could do would be to get the 4 day park hopper. The 4 day park hopper, just like the day passes never expires though, so you could use it on another trip.

Sorry to say that we must leave this magical place in 2 days and return to the real world

The weather here has been GREAT!!!

Checked Hotwire and no 3 day park hoppers! darn it! They do have the 4 day hoppers at $208.96. Is this a decent price? I thought WDW's were $202 if you bought them advanced purchase. This is hurting my brain. So in essence what I have to do is either buy indiviual park tickets which will restrict my DBF and his son to one park per day or buy 4 day hoppers and only use them for 3 days. This really stinks. I don't even know if he will want to go again, so the day that is left on them will be a waste if they don't go again. Off to price the single days and compare them to the hoppers....

[Dana]

Ok here's what I found:

2 four day park hoppers = $430.26 with tax
6 single park passes = $366.30 with tax

So I have to decide if it's worth $63.96 for the ability to hop parks....no brainer. Of course it's worth that much. If January the crowds are so low that you fly through lines. I want them to be able to get a small taste of each park with the hope they will come with us again. Worse case scenerio, I have a spare day on a pass and no use for it. Best case scenerio, they come back next year and will have a free day at this year's rate. 2 adult 4-day park hoppers please....

There are several 3 day Adult Park Hopper passes for sale on e-bay. The highest bid for one is $175.00 with l0 hours bidding time left. I am assuming that if they are listing these as "3 day park hopper passes (adult), there must be such a thing. (There were about 6 of them listed, I believe). Additionally, if you have to buy 4 days, remember that you can always use up the extra days yourself. It's not like an annual pass that only the owner of the pass can use.

This bothers me, because on checking all my books there is no 3-dy park hopper listed. Maybe these are Park Hoppers with 3 days left on them. Sorry, Dana, don't want to steer you wrong.

Dana,
The folks at Ticket Mania just recently posted some info that said that they are "no longer allowed to sell the 3-day hopper passes". So, don't think that you are lossing your mind, they did exist, but I think the most important word in that statement is "did". In all of my research, I have not been about to come up with another place that has a 3-day hopper. We are planning a trip in Feb 05 and we only need passes for 3 days, bummer. Also, in all of the discount brokers that I have researched, Disney does have the best prices if you buy them in advance. Ticket Mania does have a pretty good rate for a 4-day hopper plus, but in January or February, who wants to go to the water parks anyway?
Anyway, good luck on your search - and please let us know if you find anything cheaper.

Hey, I just came across some interesting info. According to www.disneyworld.com, you can buy ultimate park hopper passes separatly if you are staying at "certain Disney World Resort Hotels". Not sure which ones this is approved for, but it might be worth looking into if you guys are staying on property. The 3-day Ultimate Park Hopper prices, if purchased before leaving is $161 for 10 & Up and $129 for 3-9.

I was always under the impression that the Ultimate Park Hopper was only part of the Dream Maker Package, a package that is not that awesome if you break out each individual price of everything that is included, especially now that I know you can get Ultimates by themselves. Definitely making dreams come true for Disney, but for those of us on a tight Disney budget, every little bit helps. Also, something else to keep in mind, the UPH will expire.

Good luck in your ticket search.

Jana

Thanks for all the responces and help with locating prices and passes. I am going to pick up the great ticket search in the morning. Thanks again all.

One thing that I was told was that when you buy the tickets from Disney you have to pay tax on that amount. When you buy from TicketMania the price quoted already includes tax + shipping. I think that when you add this in you can save a few dollars over buying direct from Disney. That's the info. I got from Mousesavers, so I bought mine from TicketMania. Also, if you get the Mousesavers newsletter, there's usually a link in there to a special TicketMania Mousesavers rate. That link saved me an additional $10 on each of our 5 day Hoppers.
