Hi all,
I leave for WDW on Thursday, and I just realized that I didn't buy any theme park tickets! I'm arriving Friday morning and I'm departing Tuesday morning. I plan on being in the parks for a few hours in the day Friday, Sat. afternoon/night, all day Sunday, and Monday during the day. I was planning on buying the 4 day park hopper for $220. Does anyone know if I can purchase this directly from the hotel's front desk (I'm staying at the Swan)? Or do I have to go all the way to the TTC (or whatever its called) to buy my ticket?


Also, does anyone know if the Swan offers free internet in their rooms? I was hoping to bring my laptop.

Thanks,
Sean

The funny little message bubbles on their site says that all rooms have high speed internet access.

I found nothing about tickets.

Get your tickets here! Ticket desks are located in the lobby of each hotel, providing guests the opportunity to purchase park tickets even before leaving the hotel.

Thanks! I wasn't able to find that at all (but I went though the offical WDW site instead of that one).

You're going to pay $55 a day for a park hopper that's only going to be used for a couple hours for one of those days? Given the crowds at the parks and how much there is to do outside of the gates, I'd recommend against that.

As flippyshark and I discovered yesterday, there's a fantastic view of Wishes (with music) from the ferry dock at the TTC.

Have you visited:

To see if any of their suggestions can save you a bit? For example, if you can drop by a AAA office before you leave...

Basically, yeah. I'm only going for 4 days, and I really want to see the parks, because I don't know how long it is until I will be able to go back. I'm getting major discounts at the hotel and on airfare, and I get a travel reward, so this is worth it to me.

Also, moonliner, I don't qualify for any of those discounts, since I'm not a AAA member. Thanks, though!

Even if the Swan didn't offer tickets, ANY park sells tickets (not just the TTC)

And the difference in cost between a 3 day MYW Basic and a 4 day is only $15, so I think it's probably worth even 1 ride and Wishes close up for $15. I vote stongly for the 4 day ticket.

Yeah, that was my thinking. I'm looking at the hopper, and its like 206 for the 3 day and 220 for the 4 day. For the extra 14, its worth it for me, since I've only been to WDW once and I don't remember it, and since I don't know when I will be able to go back.
