Any DVC Ticket Deals Currently?

[boxer]

Taking my son and his GF with us next trip, and wondered if DVC is offering any ticket deals right now? Haven't bought tickets for some time (we are AP), so lost track of what offers might be out there. If Disney doesn't offer anything, I'll just go with UT.

No DVC discounts on tickets.

Yes. So far you can still buy and extremely over-priced day ticket.

All jokes aside, UT discounts really don't start until 3+ days from what I remember. Check and make sure. Unless you're dealing with discounted tickets, it's always safer/easier to go with the source (Disney). I use UT all the time for our guests, but we're usually days into the discount period and that's why.

I have 11 months until my next need for tickets - I am contemplating how long I will wait to get tickets in case they offer an AP or discount -Thinking 50/50 odds in the next 6 months

If you're looking at park reservations for next September, I'd be more than willing to roll those dice. Park reservations aren't going to be a problem in Sept, especially if you're staying onsite. I'd wait until next August if it was me. No danger in that, and surely something will break one way or another by then.

Yep, will need 7-day tickets for them, so that is why I was leaning to UT. We got a couple months (May trip), so I'm gonna kinda wait to see what happens over winter.

I went through DVC Rental Store this time, and it was a great experience. Prices were a little cheaper than UT. I didn't even know they offered them and then saw it on the site. We only did a 3 day ticket, but it was $10/person savings...not much, but covers an extra snack or drink for each of my guests!!!

If you're a sams club member, you can get discounted tickets through them. Seems to be the cheapest ive found for discount pricing. Costco may have them as well.

I bought some 10 day tickets a few weeks ago. Gave up waiting on AP's to be sold for our upcoming November trip. I used Boardwalk ticketing. If you google search disney ticket calculator, there is a great website that you can enter the information of the number of days you want, dates, hopper or non-hopper, and it will give you the best prices of about 4 different ticket sellers. I'd put a link here, but not sure it would be allowed.

You can buy Disney gift cards through the Target website using your Target Red Card. Use those to buy the tickets direct through Disney. That will save you 5% which is about as good as you can do anywhere else, plus you'll be buying them direct from Disney.

My $0.02...

I looked at all my options, but buying direct on my 10 day from Boardwalk ticketing was still a better discount than my red card Disney gift cards. But depending on how many days she needs, the discounted gift cards might be a better deal. I’ve bought up several thousand from target to pay for our upcoming fort wilderness camping stay. In general the Target Disney gift card bought with the red card is a slightly better deal than Sam’s club.

AAA offers discounted tickets to members, too! Not a big discount, but better than nothing!

We bought tickets through Boardwalk Tickets after using Touring Plans ticket calculator.

Including tax prices for 5 and 6 day hoppers were $681/$708 via WDW site, and $623/$648 via Boardwalk. Near $60 savings per ticket either way.

I also noticed adding the hopper was about $20 less than what WDW site charges for those ticket lengths.

Ok, gotta ask. What is Boardwalk Tickets? That is a new one to me

Billboard on I-75 says you can buy discounted Disney tickets. You can also see Baby Alligators.

Boardwalk Ticketing is another authorized reseller of Disney and other theme park tickets. It’s worth checking their prices as well as others when you’re ready to buy.

From looking at the Sam’s Club website, it doesn’t look like you have to be a member to buy Disney tickets.

Are there any limitations with tickets from a discount service or a Sam’s Club compared to buying direct?

 

[drzeller]

If you don't buy direct, can you still apply unused tickets to the cost of an AP if they become available?

Assuming Disney doesn't change their protocols, yes, you should be able to apply unused tickets one-to-one to the purchase of APs. If they don't change the AP system, and you're not eligible for Membership Extras, you'd be purchasing the IncrediPass.

However, it's quite possible that if/when APs go on sale again for WDW, there may be great changes. So I wouldn't count on anything.
