WDW passes buy in UK or US?

[david_howkins]

Hi,

I am visiting WDW in July 2007. In the past I have purchased 5 or 7 day passes in the UK before my trip. With the UK/Dollar rate being so good right now, a 7 day pass costs £165 buying from the Disney site in the UK, but around $208 plus tax if buying in the US - a huge saving as I am buying for 10 people.

Question - can I buy passes from the US before travelling, paying the US rate rather than the UK one?

Or - I have friends in the US, could they purchase the tickets on the web for me?

Any tips welcome!

David

Google for UK only offers - we tend to get some very good ones as generally we get to stay there for longer.

I just did a Google and this turned up:

There will be other offers around. See what you can find.

I searched the following sites prior to purchasing my 21 day tickets last August -

Attraction Tickets Direct

Florida-Magic-Tickets

Online Florida

Orlando-Ticket-Deals

Teletext Tickets

Themepark-Tickets

Just keep in mind that the 14 and 21 day unlimited passes can only be purchased in the Uk and not in USA, if your staying that long

Have a great trip

I've bought directly from the WDW website before. Just make sure you get on the US site. Don't forget to compare like for like though.

Last trip we bought a 14 day through Attraction tickets direct, and to be honest it was the best decision, we didn't worry about popping back to the parks for just a couple of hours, or just to watch fireworks as we weren't using a 'day'.

Good luck

Are purchases restricted based on location or citizenship. In other words, if I as an American citizen wanted to purchase the 14 or 21 day unlimited pass, could I do so through a UK retailer/website?

Yes, its only postage that would add to the cost. Though the poor exchange rate may make it prohibative

Thank you.

I think it strange that Disney offers alternative types of passes available to different countries. I assume that it's meant to be an enticement to those of you across the pond, eh? :veryconfu

Indeed... but they can be bought (and used) by anyone...

Its an acknowledgement that we tend to holiday in 14 or 21 day blocks

Offering a 14 day unlimited pass means we spend more dollars in disney

Not necessarily for us it just meant great flexability, after all some days we went in for an hour and bought nothing!

You lasted a whole hour without purchasing something :lol:
