We are going for a week Apr 27- May 5, and I am looking for any budget tips. We would like to go to Universal/Island of Adv for 1 day, Epcot 1 day, Gatorland, IFLY, Kennedy Space Ctre and just wondering what people think about buying tickets on line versus the gate. We were only seeing $1.00 difference by doing it online. Wondering if anyone has any tips or places or coupons or codes to help me save money. Also any day of the week/time better than another one to attend these places? Thanks!
 
Neither Disney nor Universal discount one day tickets. The cost is the same online or at the Gate. And they do not wholesale out one or two day tickets, so the authorized resellers will actually add a premium to the prices for one or two day tickets to cover their expenses.
 
Unfortunately Cheshire is correct, there are no 1 day discounts. I would say just buy them at the gate when you go. At least that way you don't spend money on an unused ticket if the plans change. Have a good vacation.
 

I prefer to buy beforehand.. the lines at the ticket gate can be long and why waste time waiting in line for tickets.:thumbsup2

But usually if you buy online you still have to go to a ticket window or ticket vending machine to exchange your voucher/reservation for an actual ticket.
 
Thanks very much everyone, I am getting excited a couple more days and then off I go.:)
 
I usually just buy one day tickets at the gate or Downtown Disney the day we get there.
