When to buy park passes???

[ChristyS]

Help!!!! I am trying to decide when and where to order the park passes. This is our first trip and several people are telling me different things....Do I wait and purchase the park passes when we arrive at the hotel or purchase them before we get there??

Thanks for any information you can give me....

Hi, ChristyS!

Most people say to buy your passes before you arrive at the parks, because you can get discounts, even from Disney itself. The budget board has a lot of posts about passes and different legitimate places to buy them. The mousesavers website also has a really good list of where you can buy passes.

If you do decide to buy them from the Disney Store and you have the Disney Visa card, there are triple points at the Disney Store until December 24th!

Definately buy your passes before you leave. Purchasing them from TDS will save you time once you get to WDW. Have a great trip! :)

Buy it 2 weeks before you leave. I have bought from Paramount and FloridaOrlandoTickets for atleast 10-20% discount from Disney. (Remeber Disney charges tax while Paramount/FloridaOrlandoTickets don't). In addition to that Paramount throws in few free breakfast character meal vouchers. This was my experience in May 2003.
