Annual Pass questions - where to buy?

[merlin307]

Hiya everyone......need some advice from the experts......

We have booked for christmas / new year in fabulous las Vegas and Orlando. Because we are also planning 3weeks in April/may 2012, then a possible short break (10days) next October we think it will be cheaper to buy annual passes (ideally we'll buy the options without blackout dates).

Each time we go we buy and use 7 day Disney hoppers with water parks etc and 14 day Orlando flexi tickets, so we'll save around £900 buying the annuals (not counting the parking savings and discounts).

What I wanted to know is -are the annual passes only available through the parks websites (Disney.com, universalorlando.com and sea world.com) or are there other sites which offer the annual passes..........

Can anyone help.......?.....???

Not sure about the flexi tickets, but this link explains a great way to end up with a DISCOUNTED WDW annual pass by first buying regular tickets [read post 7]

For us, we will end up saving about $30 each by first buying discounted tickets from Undercover Tourist (using mousesaver newsletter link) and then "upgrading" them when we arrive at the parks.

Also, don't forget to read up on the Tables in Wonderland card as well. For my family's eating style, this will save us more than a meal plan.

Read this thread about upgrading UK tickets also, works out cheaper than buying AP outright. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2808111

Yes to your question, AP are only available direct with the parks, either online or at the gate.
