So before you make a special trip (especially in holiday traffic!!!) you may want to call first.

No need to treat the tickets as cash (as they used to need to do when they had the cardboard tickets behind the counter), changing the price is very easy, just change the one price on the rack, etc.... But as others have said, check in advance, or go to Disneyland.com, basic shipping, or Will Call are no extra charge.

Originally Posted By momofbuzzfan We just bought 3-day park hopper bonus tickets (two 10+, and one 3-9) at one of our local Disney Stores to use next week. All of the tickets say that the first use must occur on or before January 2, 2008. We paid the current 2006 advance ticket prices for these ($149 and $119), but they have no dollar amount listed on them. As I understand it (from the Disneyland website), ticket prices will go up in 2007 (advance tickets will go up to $159 and $129). If we plan on going again next November(2007), and I went today to buy park hoppers for that trip, I would only pay the '06 price yet they would be valid through until Jan 2, 2008. This would save me $40, as I will have to buy 4 passes if we go next November (my 2 year old will be 3 by then). I guess my question is this - if I did that would I have to pay the increased ticket amount when it came time to use the passes at the gate? I'm not sure that I would actually spend the money now since there are (sadly) no guarantees that we will return in 2007. I'm not trying to be sneaky or shady, but saving $40 is always nice when budgeting for a trip.

Make sure and check each and every Gift Card you purchase, there still might be some old "Expire 1/2007" in the stack. The other thing you don't know, will Disney run a special offer for the Fall of 2007? If you are SURE you are going, I might buy them, but if you are not, then I would just wait until the Fall of 2007.
