Wanted to correct a comment in Today's article...

Before leaving for Anaheim we knew that we would not need anything more than two- or three-day passes to the parks. We hesitated to purchase any tickets up front because we didn't know if we would have that third day available to us because of the trade show, so we couldn't plan ahead. So when I was told that the very best deal for Disney tickets would be to purchase them online, not being able to order them before the trip just about killed me. However, when we checked into the Howard Johnson's, we found that the Good Neighbor Hotel ticket deals far surpassed the online deals at Disney.com!
On Wednesday morning, when we left our room to walk over to the parks for the first time, we simply stopped at the front desk and purchased a pair of three-day park hopper passes at a very good price versus the normal gate price (at least that's what we were told). We paid $134 plus tax for each ticket, which was only $12 per ticket more than the two-day passes sold there at the hotel. The best price I could get for a three-day pass on Disney.com was $159 (since I'm not a Southern California resident). The bottom line? I'm pleased with the three-day park hoppers that we purchased. I feel that we got good value and a reasonable price.
The Good Neighbor pricing on the 3 and 4 day ParkHoppers are $5 MORE than what is currently offered at Disneyland.com Advance Purchase discount.
For example, the 3 day ParkHopper is currrently $129 at Disneyland.com for use thru April 26th (Everyone at the kids price), the Good Neighbor Hotel tickets will also go up on April 27th. The offer is good for anyone...

You might have gotten misled with the yellow box, but if you click that and type in your zipcode, you will get an expanded list, with offers like the 2fer and the 2 day ParkHopper for the price of one day.
Since Disneyland.com offers free regaular shipping, it is usually the best deal around. A couple of Internet Travel Sites do have tickets for a dollar or two less, but they do have a shipping and handling fee, check out MouseSavers for one of the places that sells the tickets for slightly less than Disneyland.com.
