Park Hopper vs. Annual Pass - HELP!!!!

[joviacdan]

Hi all.

In kind of a bind. I'm leaving for Disney in September for 8 days. I purchased a 7 day park hopper plus ticket. These sell for $342. I've decided to go back in March of 2005. Obviously, I could save a bundle if I buy an annual pass. Those sell for about $399.

Can I return my hopper ticket at a Disney Store and buy an annual pass? Do I need to call Disney?

Or, am I just screwed?

AP is the Theme Park ONLY Annual Pass. PAP is the Premium Annual Pass which includes Pleasure Island, both water parks, and DisneyQuest

Couldn't have said it better.

My 150th post WooHoo :sohappy:

OK - Got a plan.

First off, I just booked the hotel. 7 nights at All Star Movies February 4-11. Total is $609.95, and if AP rates come down and are less, I'll get the discount.

I'm going in September. I'm going with my GF, her son, and GF's mother.

The 3 adults all have 7 day park hopper plus passes.

My girlfriend's mother won't be using her plus options at all. She'll actually only be there for 5 days, and won't be going to Blizzard Beach with us and won't be going to Pleasure Island.

So, what we do is use my girlfriend's pass to get into Blizzard Beach once, and Pleasure Island 3 times (that's all we'll go there for.)

We'll use my girlfriend's mother's pass for me to get into Blizzard Beach and Pleasure Island 3 times.

I'll just use my ticket to get into the theme parks, that way, I don't have to upgrade to a Premium Annual Pass, but only to a Theme Park Annual Pass.

How does that sound?

Oooh. You so sneaky

And am I the only one who immediately thought he was going on this trip with his Grand Floridian when he said he was going with his girlfriend? I need a 12-step program. :brick:

Yeah, I'd say you're just about there. No more so than I am though. I went last October for 7 days, this past January for 7 days, September for 8 days, and now February for 7 days - And I'm going by myself then!!!!

But seriously - It should work right? I'm not doing anything illegal. We paid for all these passes. I simply don't want to get stuck with a Premium Annual Pass.
