my family and i are visiting disney in 3 weeks time we are a bit confused as to whether we have to use or hopper passes to get into downtown disney or is downtown disney just an area outside a theme park?

Chris

No. Downtown Disney is an area open to all, that includes shops, restaurants, and other attractions, where it cost to go into.

Hopper

You don't need a Hopper Pass to get into Downtown Disney - it is a separate entity from the Parks.

At Downtown Disney there are two areas that you would need separate admission - Pleasure Island and Disney Quest. The rest are all shops and restaurants as the others have mentioned. If you are purchasing Hopper PLUS passes, you could use the "PLUS" to be admitted into these venues. Have fun!

Contact me know if you need hopper tickets. I have 5, 2 day hopper tickets left from our trip. 3 adult & 2 child. Adults are ages 10 & up. Hope you have a pleasant trip.

Penny -
Just to let you know - unless things have recently changed - your Disney passes are good indefinetly! I had 1 day left from a pass I had purchased several years ago, and brought it along last year to WDW to see if they would still accept it. They did, without any trouble! Only reaction was "Wow, this is really old! Have a good time!"

I agree with Penny about Hopper passes. If you will at Disney for a couple of days it is well worth it to get the hopper pass. Especially since you can use the extra days at a later time. We have one day left from a trip 4 years ago that we plan to use this summer. When we bought our passes the smallest pass advertised was a four day but when we asked, we were able to purchase a three day.
Have Fun!
