1st stay GCV. How should I buy DL tickets?

[alldiz]

Hi,
This is my 1st trip to DL
I see on parksavers.com (don't know if reputable) , a 3 day park hopper is $299...$16 cheaper than list.
Tickets from email confirmation is redeemable at a DL box office.
Where are these?
Can I buy my tickets at checkin at GCV or is this not a good way to go?
Thanks
Kerri

Are you going to San Diego too? We decided to do both since they are so close together and such a long plane ride for us. We will save hundreds for our family of 4 when we buy the SoCal pass. You'll get 3-day DL park hopper, LegoLand, Sea World, and the San Diego zoo (this last one is an add-on). Just something to look into.

Parksavers is reputable and popular over on the DL boards as are Ares and Get Away Today Travel Club. Sam's Club also apparently has good prices on tickets. There's an entire thread about how to save the most money on on tickets over on the DL boards. You should come check it out

The ticket booths (box offices) are in the esplanade between the two parks and some vouchers can be brought directly to the gates and traded for tickets there. You can buy your tickets at the VGC frontdesk but it won't be your best value or the fastest way to do it.

when we went to DL, we used parksavers as it was the cheapest we could find at the time. had no issues with them.

No we only have 3 nights at GCV on way to Hawaii. Very excited 1st DL and Hawaii trip. Lucked out with my DVC points at 7 months.

Ok so I think parksavers would work nicely. Quicker and cheaper wins every time

So you were able to redeem right at regular booths in esplanade?
Thanks

We have used park savers for our WDW tickets and never had an issue with them.

We lucked out on a VGC stay last November. I was able to get 4 nights at the 7 month window. I was super excited!!! It was a great trip. I loved VGC!!!!

Have a great trip!!

Last minute travel club is who myself and entire family used in January. They were by far the best deal for DL tickets. The voucher they email you is one you take directly to the gate and they will issue you a ticket.

There is a fee to become a member however there are lots of codes out there that make it free to join. I believe others have mentioned just calling in even without the membership and being able to purchase though.

Here's the link for Last minute travel DL tickets(there are 2 that are very closely named)

It's the cheapest I was able to find a few months ago.

And this was reported to be a code that discounted down the membership to free and was valid at the end of Feb: WFREEBIES15

OMG.....so I went onsite and code worked! But for some reason it is not accepting my CC. Weird is this a European company?....Was asking country code.
Love this place find out great info that can be trusted and I went for it. But I don't get why won't take my card. I will try again later. GRRRR LOL

No, not european. It showed as a Florida address on my CC statement.

Ok thanks

Well site didn't take my card because my CC declined them. I received a fraud alert email. Normally this would make me run ( hope my trusty disboards works out)
But this happened when I bought target cards on raise. (Fraud alert)Saved a lot on my DCL cruise buying those discounted target cards then buying Disney cards with additional 5 percent using target card.

So I just redid transaction and it went through.... so thanks so much!!!
Bummer I could not find place to put new code of wfreecoupon in. It is $25 off 1st booking. Still happy with savings

So you were able to redeem right at regular booths in esplanade?

We were staying at the Grand Californian and the front desk redeemed them at check-in. I would imagine you can redeem them anywhere.
