AAA for park tickets

dmallan · #1 03-20-2007, 06:15 PM

We are still in the planning stages and have decided that booking everything separately rather than buying a package will save us money. Especially since we can buy park tickets before any rate changes.
My questions have to do with buying the tickets through AAA.

1) Will I be purchasing a voucher, paper tickets or swipe cards?
2) If these are paper tickets, do we get one for each day or one ticket that is good for all six days?
3) Where does the finger scan come in? Do they do that at the gate when we first use the tickets?

Thanks!

Donna

AAA will issue a plastic swipe card good for the # of days you buy. You will do the finger scan the first time you use your pass and every time after that at the parks. Planning is alot of fun, enjoy and have a great time on vacation

Don't worry about the "paper" tickets, I have been told that they can't be ripped. I don't want to try, why take the chance.

Another question for AAA Discounts, Is there one for Annual Passes?

No. I don't think AAA even sells Annual Passes.

We bought our passes at AAA for January this year and had no trouble at all. You get a plastic card and a receipt with a number on it that can be used if you lose your ticket.

How does the cost of purchasing them through AAA compare with buying them from Disney? And is there a limit on how many days they can issue?

The best deal we found was ticketmania.com
All prices include tax and they'll ship out tix for $6, signature required. 7day park hoppers, don't quote me...$910.
Good luck...

$910 was for 2 Adults & 2 Kids

AAA quoted me $212 for a 6 day base ticket, including tax. According to the theme park ticket price list on Intercot, the same ticket goes for $221.39, including tax. $9 x 5 tickets is a savings of $45. Every little bit helps!
