Hi all,

So today is the day I was going to finally buy my 4 day park hoppers. All along I had been planning to get them from GAT because of the 2 MM/EEs but at the last minute I decided to check out Ares travel. Wowie! Their tickets are $35 off EACH. x4 = a nice chunk of change. I like the idea of using GAT but I am not sure 1 MM is worth $35 per person. We will be in the parks Wed noon-ish-Sat. noon-ish Mid May and I had thought we would do MM on Thurs and Sat. Will I be bummed on Sat AM, our last day and not even a full one at that, if I don't have MM?

If you only have one MM, I'd save it for Saturday since you don't have a full day, it'll add an hour to your time in the park, I really don't think that MM is worth 35 per ticket but that's just me....if you are in line for the gates and are near the front you can get almost as much done if you go straight to fantasyland and hit the 'killer wait' rides like Peterpan and Dumbo...everyone seems to be seeing the same thing about Nemo, wait til later in the day when the wait times are shorter than first thing in the morning.

^ I am with MammaSilva. I just don't think MM is worth $35 a person, that's a pretty big savings. I agree that if you make sure you're there at opening you'll be in good shape. In Nov. we did nemo at 1:30 p.m. and ony waited 30 minutes. It was at least an hour or so wait in the morning.

When we did our MM we were in line for 30 minutes so we only had 30 minutes in the park before general opening; I certainly wouldn't do it twice. Totally not worth the extra cost. Just my opinion.

So this is why I love Mouseplanet. The question I posted seemed obvious, is MM worth $35? The answer is, of course, "No". The twist with your responses was that we should save MM for Sat. I was so focused on my touring plans and the fact that we were to do MM on Thurs that it did not occur to me to wait! So thank you thank you thank you all for letting me ask an obvious question and still giving great advice.

I did buy the tix from Ares but I also called Getaway today and offered to let them match the price. They could not but it was worth a try;). Now I get the fun of revising my touring plans...the planning is always half the fun!

I'm not sure where you are looking for the tickets. When I checked both sites the difference was only $5 per ticket. PLEASE make sure you buy the right tickets and not the 2-day free tickets, which looking at your countdown will expire before you get there. If the difference is only $5 I would go with GAT.
