Annual passes from vendors - specifically Supertrips

Hi all!

Looking at getting Magic Plus APs. Was going to get them direct from Disney but they seem a bit cheaper from Super Trips

Has anyone used them or other vendors?

How long did the tickets take to arrive? We want to book hotels ASAP with the discount.

Thanks so much!

I bought DLP Dream APs for DW and I for the RunDisney Weekend last year from Supertrips. I just checked the dates, we bought them on 13th September, received order confirmation the same day, notification of order completion on 14th and on the 15th an email from a named member of Supertrips staff (rather than a generic mailbox type address) which contained links to download a pdf version of each of the passes purchased. Each of these has a unique reference number on it, so I had to reply to Supertrips to confirm I had received/printed them out, in order that they could validate them.
So in total it was less than 2 days from completing the order to having usable tickets to gain park entry.
Once in the park I had to go and exchange the voucher for my annual pass at the Passport Office.

Thank you!

Just booked with them even though they didn't reply to my email.

Told them we are going sooner than we really are to try and speed them up. I want to book hotel tickets!

How was the run? That's what we are going for!

Has anyone tried buying the new APs from Disney but asking for the price in GBP?

We bought Dream Passes in March (for activation in August) and the GBP price worked out significantly cheaper than the Euro price - even cheaper than SuperTrips or discount-ticket-store could offer.

The run was good fun, I managed to get round the 5K quite quickly, despite stopping for all the characters that I wanted, including Roger Rabbit! Near the end I even caught up with Paula Radcliffe and managed to get a selfie with her.
I took a bit longer of the 1/2, doing it with a friend of mine who had never completed such a long race before and we had good fun too, not so much time to do characters etc. as we were near the back, queues for the characters had got quite long by that point and when we met Darth Vader we were very close to being swept.
The Expo was very busy when I first went in with long queues for merch, but the advantage of getting in really early was that there was no queue for the Castle to Chateau registration when I went to do that. A little later in the day the queue was out the door.
Hopefully they have learned a lot about the expo side of things, but I don't think they could have done much more on the 5K or 1/2 courses

Have you checked discount ticket store. I was looking at lunchtime and noticed they were a bit cheaper from there.
