Should I get the tickets from AAA, Costco, DS website, etc? Also, any chance of a deal on the AP's? Or are they going up in price so I need to purchase them before we go? It seems like they usually go up in early Jan. Thanks!

Since you plan to upgrade to an AP, there isn't too much worry about saving money, since they will credit the amount paid for the ParkHoppers towards the cost of the AP. Since you will leave the car at HoJo's, and not need free parking, no need for that perk when you buy ParkHoppers for AAA. So I would go with the Disneyland.com choice, no shipping, and will call is available. Now, if you wait a few weeks, Disney is supposed to add a new option if you buy from their website. Disney'e E Ticket is a Print at Home option, where once your credit card has been approved, Disney will send you a barcode to print at home on your printer. Then you take that printout straight to the turnstiles. The CM will scan the barcode, ask for an ID, and then a printer at the turnstile stand will print out the entire families ParkHoppers, which will than be scanned and you will be allowed in. Just make sure and order under the "2007 tickets" option, and not the current 2006 page.

Originally Posted By junglejoy Thank you Darkbeer! You always come through! Is the early entry perk still available on park hoppers? If not, then we'll just get the AP's.
Originally Posted By junglejoy Thanks Darkbeer! We may get the AAA tickets because even though we've never parked while attending DL (always had a close hotel) it may be good to try. Maybe we want one premium pass for parking/merchadise discounts and the remaining four just get Deluxes if we like the ability of driving to DL. This opens up our hotel options quite a bit too! I think the last time we bought DL AP's they were around $175. Eeeeek!
