Mousesavers Ticket Discounts - Anyone use the brokers?

In the most current Mousesaver's email newsletter there was a special discount listed for two ticket brokers, Ticket Mania and Discount Orlando Vacation. Has anybody ordered tickets via either of these two? If so, what has your experience been?

We bought 10-day MYY tix from Ticketmania (with the discount) in Feb. No problems. The tickets were waiting for us at the front desk of the hotel (we ordered too late to have them shipped to us - I prefer the hotel delivery option anyway). Great price, great service - recommend them highly.

I used Ticketmania. Best prices I was able to find. Shipping was free. They even included a copy of the back of the tickets in case I would lose them. They also included a lot of central FL destination brochures. Great service. I saved over $20 per ticket (7 day prem with park hopping and expirations option).

I always use TicketMania - best prices around. I use to get better prices at AAA, but the Mousavers rate is usually the best now.

Order without fear!

We are looking at using Maple Leaf for our upcoming tickets but I may have to look into the others.

Talking Wow -

I have AP rate for coming trip in Sept...

I really liked the flexibility.... Now you loose 1 nights deposit??

Ugghhhh.

And 3 months in advance?

At any rate, it didn't seem like this is very well planned out at this point.

Glad I have DVC, and now I don't feel as bad about wasting points on weekends

Ticketmania

I've used Ticketmania via the Mousesavers newsletter. Very happy with the service and price. Used them last summer, when we arrived at Boardwalk, tickets were waiting for us at the front desk in an envelope from them.

Another thumbs up for Ticketmania. I've used them several times and never had a problem. I've had them mailed to the house and picked them up at the hotel.

Another vote for Ticketmania - we used them for the first time this year (two weeks from right now I'll be relaxing somewhere in Lake Buena Vista with a margarita in hand!!! ) and I'll happily use them again.

We bought 6 day MYW tickets from Ticket Mania through the mousesavers newsletter. Had them mailed to my house as we had plenty of time before leaving. They arrived fast and we had no problems. Highly recommended, and I never saw them priced lower.

I used Ticketmania.com very recently. Ordered on the 7th and got the tickets on the 17th. I did say in my order that we aren't going until November, so no rush. Well, I guess their "slow" service takes only 10 days! I posted about it here but it got moved to the Budget Board.

I used DOV in late May somewhat skeptically but the service was great. They e-mailed me when the tickets were mailed and included lots of Orlando discount magazines with the tickets and included photocopies of the backs of our tix for us. We received them in Seattle about 5-7 business days after ordering. For the tickets we purchased (10 days non-expiring with PH and extras (DQ and waterparks)) they were cheaper than Ticketmania.

I gotta put my vote in for Discount Orland Vacations (DOV) too! I've used them 3 times now and have had excellent service, prompt emails and fast shipping every time. I like how they send you the photocopy of the back of the tickets too. I did alot of research on tickets, DOV came out the cheapest and if you sign up for their emails sometimes you catch a great sale too.
