Originally Posted By Darkbeer One ticket, might as well either use Disneyland.com or a Disney Store. They are cheaper than at the park (same price), and no shipping charges if you use Disneyland.com. You can find a couple of places that charge slightly less than Disneyland.com, such as ARES Travel (MouseSavers.com recommends them), but for one ticket, the shipping charges will wipe out the savings, and end up being more expensive. Usually you need to buy at least 4 tickets to see a reduction in price.

My SIL just bought 5-day passes from a friend on the base for only $129! That is SUPER CHEAP! Love and hugs to you and the family. Tell that old hubby of yours he did a fantastic job barbecuing the other day!

Originally Posted By mickeynewe I know that our AAA office stocks them. However, in the past I have been told they only keep certain passes. I think for anything over a 3-day pass it takes a couple of days for them to get in so be sure to leave yourself enough time to get them!!
Originally Posted By redlegtwo Our AAA office did not have 3-day hoppers in stock. They only had 2-day or 5-day. The 2-day I purchased at the AAA office was the same price as the Disney.com price. The free parking is a great perk and makes AAA tickets a better deal if you're going to be parking at Mickey & Friends parking structure.

Originally Posted By SuzieQ Woo Hoo! We are going the fist of the year, and they are having adults at the kid's price. A 3-day hopper saves $50 per person. Since there's 10 of us, that's a HUGE savings. We added an extra night of hotel with what we saved.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer Current Bring a Friend offer 2 day ParkHopper - $20 off ($96 for adults, $76 for kids 3 thru 9) Frist day of use must be between November 27th and December 13th, 2007 and the last day must be used by December 14th. So the time window is small, but a good deal if you want to visit during the 2 and 1/2 weeks the offer is valid.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer ^The AP offer requires an AP holder to go to the Main Ticket Windows (per the rules) or go to Disneyland.com/ap and order online. The Hotels might be able to print the tickets at the front desk. As for upgrading a 2 day ParkHopper, if you do it onsite, they would charge $73 for the extra day (The difference between the cost of the 2 day ticket and the full price (day of) 3 day ticket. The better deal is to order a 3 day ParkHopper in advance at Disneyland.com. It is $149 for adults for the rest of the year.
