single day pass vs length of stay

ssn · 02-28-2004

Hi! I'm trying to figure out the most economical way to purchase park tickets for upcoming trip. We'll be able to visit the parks for 3 days (day 1 after 12 noon, day 2 all day and day 3 til about 2pm) Since there is no 3 day hopper I'm kinda confused about what to do. I've considered the length of stay pass - since we probably will want to park hop in order to see as much as possible in a short time. The only thing is we will be with a 3 yr old so probably won't take advantage of the water parks, Disney Quest and Pleasure Island. I looked into the single day passes, but am a little nervous about not being able to go to another park in the evening or something. Someone suggested a 4 day hopper and save the xtra day for the next trip. The only problem is that would be the most expensive option and I'm trying to stay within a budget for this trip.

Any suggestions - or did I miss another option?

There are 3day Park Hoppers sold by some ticket brokers.

How soon are you leaving?

ssn · 02-28-2004

We're not going until May. I actually just looked on the Mousesaver website and did find that Alamo offers 3 day hopper plus tickets ($473.97 total). When pricing it its actually only $6 less (total) then the length of stay pass ($480.33). Any opinions on which would be better a hopper or length of stay?

Central Florida tickets offers a 3day Park Hopper for $160 adults, $130 children, tax included. They will deliver the tickets free to your hotel.

Their phone number is 1-888-678-8899.

Have you used this service before? I am interested in the three day also and I am just wondering if they are reliable.

jmouse · 02-28-2004

No, I have not personally used this ticket broker. My fmaily uses annual passes which are only sold by Disney.

They appear to be a major ticket broker though. Their website is:
Central Florida Tickets

ssn, are you a Florida Resident? If you are, theres the Play 4 Day park Hopper pass just for FL Resdients that can be used now until June 4th. Its a 4 day park hopper pass thats $116 including tax. Thats what me and my mom got to use at the Meet and Greet and it works great. We have to use the last 2 dyas of our tickets before June 4th though. If you aren't a FL Resident, I would go with the other tickets you found on MouseSavers, its probably the best deal for you then.

No, I'm not a FL resident, but thanks for the info!

Has anyone ever purchased the park tickets from Alamo?

jmouse · 03-01-2004

The park tickets that used to be offered on Alamo's site actually are sold by Disney.

I am pretty sure that DisneyAnne got her last set of tickets through Alamo. You may want to check with her.

Also, if the prices are high, you may want to consider getting passes with extra days left on them so you will have them for your next trip (depends on your money situation, I know). Prices on the passes only go up so you end up really saving as you add more days.

BTW $400+ sounds way too high. Do you mean for 2 tickets or for 1?

ssn · 03-01-2004

Mickey Momma,

The $400 is for 2 adults and 1 child. Do you still think that's high? The Alamo 3 day hopper was really the least expensive I could find!
