WDW - 3 day Park Hopper Passes?

Does anyone know where I can get the 3 day Park Hopper Pass for Walt Disney World? I know they are out there, I just can't seem to find them!

On another note, are length of stay passes worth it if you don't want to go to a water park?

Thanks much!

We ordered our passes directly from WDW. There are hotels, etc. that sell them. You also can get special nighttime admission--I think it was $12 if you stayed on the grounds. These were for after the park closed to everyone else. Not all rides were available but Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and some others were. It really is neat. No lines; you can ride the same ride over and over.

Anyway, we had 5-day passes, did not go to a water park and could easily have stayed another 3 days. There is so much to see and do and so much that you will want to do over and over.

We have been 6 times and this time we finally stayed on the grounds (except for our honeymoon when we stayed at the Contemporary). I can't say enough about biting the bullet and doing that. We stayed at the Yacht Club and could walk to Epcot. It was awesome.

Try to eat at the Prime Time Fifties Cafe in MGM Grand--What a hoot!!! Your kids (and you, too) will absolutely love it., and the Animal Kingdom--especially the Safari is not to be missed. Although, I would recommend getting there when it opens and head immediately to the Safari.

Another great thing that we had passed up before was the character breakfast at the Crystal Palace. We always thought that it just wasn't necessary, but did it this time for the 9 year-old. BTW, I also have a 22 and one that would be 30 if he were here. THey all have loved it. Anyway, about the character breakfasts: We went to the one at the Yacht Club and the one at the Crystal Palace and they were wonderful--especially the Crystal Palace; I still am pinning away for the food. Make reservations.

Also went to the Hoopty Doo Review. All the kids, from 8 - 20 loved it. Great food and entertainment. There is so much to do, you won't need to go to a water park.

Sorry that I said so much that you didn't even ask about. Guess you can tell that we love it there. I'm as bad as the kids. Can't wait to go back summer after next.

Check w/ Costco. They have a special discounted pass for 4 days at Disneyland, so maybe they also have something for Disneyworld. You should be able to get the passes at a Disney Store.

I could be wrong, but I thought they eliminated 3 day Park Hopper passes when Animal Kingdom opened several years back. I think they only have 4 day and 5 day now.

Lat time I looked into this issue was Feb 03. WDW only offers the 3 Day Park Hopper to convention groups. Sometimes those groups oversubscribe and ticket brokers take the excess. They are not easy to find and not available directly for individuals from WDW.

I tend to think that the length of stay passes are not a good value depending on when you are arriving and departing - you tend to pay for more time and more parks than you actually will use, especially on a short stay. IE if you arrive at 4pm and stay at a WDW resort, you will pay for a full day on the length of stay (los)pass even though you may only use 1 evenings worth. The way around this is for WDW to book you two reservations - One with no pass for a single night and another for the remainder of your stay with the los pass. but that means checking in and out and that's a hassle.

On the other hand the 4 day Park Hopper doesn't expire, so if you don't use that last day you can use it on a subsequent trip.

check out wdwinfo.com and mousesavers.com for more info.
