I'm going in April...help

[Piebald]

Ok so my family is planning on going to WDW from April 6-9. Tuesday through Friday. We're leaving Tuesday morning at like 7 and we're gonna hit up a park that same day. We're not new to the whole deal since we live in Florida but we are thinking of purchasing the Park Hopper pass. The 4 day one. We would like to go up MK,Epcot,MGM and BB. I think they're 109$ without tax which with the four of us is cheaper than paying everyday for tickets at the park we choose to go to. Can anyone help us with this? How do these tickets work? Is my idea of just getting them for the four days better and cheaper or should we just buy them individually at the parks? Thanks!!

The Park Hopper is definitely the way to go!

You can save even more money by getting them at your local Disney Store before you go. They are cheaper there! Also, pick up your souvenirs there too for the same reason!

You might even consider getting a 5 or 7 day pass too, as they NEVER expire!

HAVE FUN!!!

:wave:

You will need to purchase a park hopper plus if you are looking to go to Blizzard Beach. A standard park hopper is only good for the 4 main parks...MK, Epcot, MGM, AK. They are not good for the waterparks. The PHP includes at least 2 "plus" features that you can use to get into the waterparks. PHP's only come in 5 + days. If you have a Disney store near you, you should purchase them there. You can save anywhere from $16- $22 per pass.

Good luck planning!

What would I have to pay for that? Is it possible to get a 3 hopper pass then just buy the tickets to blizzard beach?

Also, I heard I cannot buy them easter week because of some blockout. Can anyone clue me in?

The $109 is the Play 4 Days, Florida offer, correct? I just got a postcard on that, lets see if I still have it, I might have thrown it out, since im an AP holder anyways..

Here is it...

They do not include the waterparks, and im sorry to say that the tickets have a blackout date of April 3-15 2004... You need to show proof of Florida residency to get the ticket.

We (Disney Store) only sell 4,5,6,7 day hoppers. You cannot purchase anything less than 4 days on a hopper. If you are staying on property you can purchase an ultimate park hopper from your resorts front desk. This pass is good for all major and minor parks. It is only good for your length of stay. If you purchase a park hopper and you don't use all of your days or plus features, you can save them and use them another trip. I don't have the exact price of our hoppers with me. You can check on line or give the nearest store a call and they will be happy to help you. As for an UPH the current prices are...

2 day- $132
3 day- $180
4 day- $251

I don't know of any blackout days around Easter. If you are a FL resident and you have a Seasonal Annual Pass I believe there are blackout dates with that.

Florida residents have a Play 4 Days Pass, which is basically 4 1 day park tickets for $109.

It has a blackout date of April 3-15

Blackout date of April 3-15th? That means we CAN'T get hopper passes? That sucks...

No, you can't get the special $109 rate. You can get the 4 day Ultimate Park Hopper for $251

 

[Ergens2]

Ah! Didn't know about the Play 4 thing. That would make sense to issue blackout dates for a promotion like that! That is a great deal!

 

[Piebald]

Well since we cannot purchase the 4 Day deal for 109$, is there anything we can do that would make it less expensive or are we left with the only thing to do which is buy tickets individually at each park?

Actually, it's a 4 day park hopper, not a 1 day ticket. Pay about 1/2 price of a regular 4 day PH, but has blockout dates and expires in June.

Buy a Florida Residents pass. The regular one is $299, the premium is $399 and iincludes the water parks. When I lived in Florida we had the seasonal florida residents pass which was much cheaper but had blackout dates at spring break, xmas, and in the summer and was just for the four main parks. Best money I ever spent
