Best bet for a 1-2 day ticket?

[DisLaw]

We have some family members we're meeting up with who are staying offsite and who only want to do a day or maybe 2 at Disney (!! I know!!)

We have multi day park hoppers but I'm trying to figure out what the cheapest option is for them. It's so aggravating in some ways because they keep complaining how expensive Disney is but that's because they are only looking at the price of a one day ticket in prime summer season!

To me the best deal is the 4 day 4 park at $79 a day but they don't want to do 4 days I don't think. Anyone have any other ideas?

When I checked a couple weeks ago for my oldest, who is heading to Orlando in a couple of months for a college convention, the best deal I could find was directly through Disney.

I just checked a couple of the discount aggregators, and the best they came back with on a two-day is also from Disney.

It really seems that the discounts really don't get good until you start working on 4+ days.

Typically, Disney does not sell 1 & 2 day tickets to authorized resellers at a discount. Because of this, UT and the other resellers will charge more for 1 & 2 day tickets than direct from Disney.

You will not find a discount on 1- or 2-day tickets. They should buy them directly from the Disney website

There are no discounts on 1 or 2 day tickets. Purchase directly from Disney.

If the total ticket cost comes out less than buying less days, who cares if it's too many days.. it's all about what the final price you paid is and lower=better. Also ask them what they want to do. don't just assume they don't want to do 4 days.. maybe they were thinking less because they thought it would cost more..

tickets, especially lower number of days are rarely any type of special deal.. Just make sure you buy them online and not at the ticket window, that will raise the price of any ticket higher and there is a small discount for online purchase (or I should said, an increased price for ticket booth purchase).
