I have been sitting here with my calculator trying to figure out who has the best deals on park hoppers. I get down to WDW a couple times a year (usually long weekends) and I only have 2 days left on my hopper which I will use for my next trip in June. If we decide to do Disney three days instead of two I will need to buy another pass. My next pass will most likely be a 5 or 6 day hopper plus (because we usually end up going to one of the water parks in the spring). Where have people found good deals? I do have AAA but Michigan AAA doesn't offer Disney Hopper tickets for sale. Can a MI AAA member buy tickets in a FL AAA office? I baught a Busch Gardens ticket at Christmas in Kissimmee so I am assuming you can. I have purchased tickets from one of those roadside stands but I don't feel like being that daring again.

You can get them at the Disney Store, if there is one close. One other option is that they will take your current pass that has a couple of days on it and upgrade you to another pass. You will basically get a credit for the days you paid for, and just pay the difference for a new pass.

Oh, I didn't know you could do that. I wonder what the differance would be. Do I have to have my ticket on me? My sister keeps them all down in Kissimmee with her Annual Pass so our tickets don't get lost or forgotten at home.

Yes, you have to have your pass, though you can only do the upgrade at guest services at WDW. Sorry, that wasn't very clear in my last post.

I went to WDW 2 years ago and my in-laws tried to buy their tickets at the FL AAA office. They were told that only FL residents could purchase them in that office and that they should have purchased them in their home state of NJ. We are going again on 5-4-03 so I bought my tickets here in NJ on Monday. But yesterday I discovered how to get them even cheaper. And AAA doesn't offer the "Park Hopper Plus" option(w/ water pks & PI). If you join "www.connections123.com." you can purchase Park Hopper "Plus" tickets for less than the cost of the AAA regular Park Hopper tickets. You can also buy tickets to Universal and Sea World as well as WDW meal vouchers(they are a HOT item on eBay). They arrive in 3 to 5 business days(we'll see). There is no cost for shipping but you do have to pay a $1.00 fee when you join. If you decide to continue the membership, it's about $80. per year. But you can cancel within 30 days and only pay $1.00. I just bought meal vouchers yesterday and I made sure to use my credit card instead of my debit card just in case of a dispute over the membership fee. I also saved a copy of the membership agreement that states I have 30 days to cancel. My only regret is buying the non refundable AAA tickets before I found this wonderful deal. You can also buy Park Hopper Plus Tickets at the Disney resort front desks.

Don't know where you are exactly in that state up north (we in Ohio are not allowed to call it by name) but have you considered calling a AAA office in Ohio, putting on a credit card, and having them mail the tickets to you? I'm sure they can do it.

I bought our Disney 6-day hoppers (2 adult, 1 child) on Monday. Price was about $770 I believe.

I'm ready for the adventure....have the airfare, have the reservations at WL, have most PSs, have the tickets....darn, almost forgot the kids! :dazed Now, need to save some more money. :whistle:

I copied and pasted that website and it didn't work. Are you sure that is correct?

Sorry, I had it backwards. It's www.connections123.com

Prior to using connections for anything, please read this mousesavers page:

I am also a connections member and have had great service! Other people seemed to have problems when they were canceling the one month trial. I kept the yearly membership and have used them for Universal passes and PHP passes and meal vouchers all at great prices and very good service..ordered on-line and received vouchers/tickets in 3 days. If you don't want to join connections, ticketmania.com and floridaorlandotickets.com both have better prices than AAA. Have also used them both and got great service.
