My CAA not offering the new 7 day hopper discount passes properly, help?

[Taddy]

My husband and I are taking his 13 yr old sister to WDW Feb 22- march 2.

I called my CAA branch here in SK to get the 7 day hopper passes. According to the email I gto Disney and from CRO and other CAA sites, you buy the first one full price, 2nd one at 50% off and 3rd at 25% off.

My CAA rep is telling me that there is no such thing as the 3rd or additional at 25& off.....

help? how can I convince her of this?

And a side note I called CRO and canadian residents can buy these special passes through them with the discount (I was under the impression you coudl only buy them at Disney Stores and CAA)

I research my trips VERY well and have been there a few times...so this CAA travel agent is really ticking me off. I may end up buying them through CRO, we have no Disney Stores in SK.

Anyway any help or tips would be gladly appreciated

I would either

A) Go to Disney's website that mentions the deal http://www.disney.ca/vacations/disneyworld/offer/index.html and print off the bottom part which says:

Tickets are available for purchase only in Canada by Canadian residents only. Tickets are valid for arrival 11/15/02 - 04/30/03. Two or more Special Offer 7-Day Park Hopper PLUS Tickets must be purchased at the same time. If one of the two persons traveling together is between the ages of 3 and 9, the 50% reduction shall be on the lesser priced ticket. Each additional guest will receive 25% off their Special Offer 7-Day Park Hopper PLUS Ticket.

and bring it into the CAA office with you.

OR

B)Find another CAA store that will sell the ticket at 25% off and have them mailed. We did this 2 years ago, as my CAA wasn't offering at par Universal tickets. I just called a CAA in Ontario and purchased them there and they sent them to me *cost was about $6)


Or, just order them through CRO!

Good luck!

I believe that Sears travel also sells these tickets. Is there a Sears travel office near you?

you have a very confused Caa office...but just to let you know when I went in Nov. I got prices from many different sources, CAA, Holiday House with TA, Disney Store & CRO. Now each one I called gave me a difference pricing structure. eg. one said 1st tick full price, second tic 50% off - then 25% on 3rd.
then it was different when I called some one else BUT THE REAL BOTTOM LINE is: the price is 25% off each ticket (as long as your buying more than one ticket!)

So for your situation: 3 Adults X $312=(936)-25% =$702US
or $312+156+234= 702US - same thing no matter how you slice it!

$702@ 1.58 exchange= approx $1109.16 CDN (I'm just guessing at that rate to give you and approx $ comparison)

So, however they stucture it just do the 25% off reg price (1st ticket)X3 and you'll know if you're getting the right deal price

I did find that at the disney store that at least they were already priced in CDN dollars so I didn't worry about the exchange rate. If they only will sell in even numbers then try someone else- TDS or like I did, get them from CRO and I picked them up at WDW ticket window.
