Shopping in the Magic Kingdom...

[RedOctober25]

I was wondering if the Magic Kingdom still does the 1 hour Shopping Pass and if so, how does one go about doing this. ; The reason I ask is to bypass paying for short amount of time. ; I have an Aunt who wants to take her Granddaughter to see the Princesses. ; It looks like it was just announced that once Toon Town closes the Meet-n-Greet will move to Exposition Hall. ; With the move, I think that it would be possible to go into the park on a Shopping pass, meet the Princesses, then head out of the Park. ; I realize this is a little backhanded way of doing things, but I know they wouldn't pay $200 for the three of them to just meet the Princesses. ; Of course I don't know if they would really drive a 4 hour round trip just to meet the princesses as well, but just wanted some opinions on this idea.

i've got nothing for you on that one... ; never heard of the shopping pass, but i would imagine you would be escorted by someone, no?

I thought I remember hearing somewhere that they still did this in MK. But I'm definitely not 100% sure. I would try calling guest relations at the park to find out. They would know for sure. Hope that's a bit of help.

Please let us know what you find out.

I never heard of a shopping pass either. ;

They would almost have to, otherwise you could go anywhere just like any other guest.

I forgot all about the shopping pass.
We were allowed into Epcot front gate once, to get to the back gate, but that was at least 12 years ago.

I doubt that would work now.
We really did have to get the back gate, I cant remember why, but I remember we rode SSE on the way....

I hate to give the bad news...but they do not offer the shopping pass at Walt Disney World Theme Parks anymore. ; Bummer, I know!

Well, I think my aunt was talked out of going anyway. ; But I was thinking it might have been a last ditch effort. ; I think that while it was going on you left your credit card with the ticket booth, then if you did not get back within the alloted time your card was charged for a days admission fee.
