Best Places to Purchase Park Hoppers

Hi.
I will be heading to WDW on Friday for a 2-day weekend. I am now looking for the best deal on park hoppers. I've already checked out AAA, WDW website and the two websites recommended by www.mousesavers.com. Are there any better bargains? (probably not but I'm looking for "second" opinions). Thanks!

Park Hoppers are not available for only 2 days, you must purchase 4 or more. The exception to that is the Ultimate Park Hopper that you purchase if you stay within the park at a Disney Resort. You can, however, find all sorts of un-used days that people re-sell on eBay.

Sam,

Thank you for your reply. I know that 4 is the minimum number of days available on park hoppers. I am actually planning to buy a 7-day Plus which gives you the best value for the buck. I am, however, looking for the best deal (preferably on www).

Eugene, if you are staying on property, you can purchase a length of stay pass for 2 days. I've done it a couple of times.

GoTravel,

Thanks. I'm staying off-property (got Best Western Lake Buena Vista on Priceline). However, I would still by the 7-day Plus Hopper (best value!).

I just got back two weeks ago and had done a ton of research and compared prices. The best deal I found is joining Simple Escapes. You join for $1 (on a credit card). They'll tell you it's like $79.95/year, but if you cancel within 90 days all you've paid is a buck. I did it and ordered the quick and casual meal vouchers and 1 adult and 3 children park hoppers. They have the best prices. The 7-Day (Plus 4) for adult is $294.27, and child is $236.76 (includes taxes). They ship within a few days and postage costs you nothing (they actually sent them 2-day priority to me). WDW prices were $339.74 Adult and $272.65 child, but I heard they increased their prices by $2 for a 1 day/1 park as of June 1st, so I'm assuming they raised the price on all. The number for Simple Escapes is 1-800-455-2399. Just make sure you call within the 90 days to cancel. They do offer a refund if you ask though, but my 90 days isn't up yet!
Best of luck!

Sam,

Looks like you got a great deal. I don't think I'll be able to use Simple Escapes as I'm leaving for WDW next Friday. Thanks for the suggestion!
