Best bet for buying park hopper passes

[ramblingreds]

Hotel and plane are booked now we are anxiously awaiting out departure for Disney in only 3 more weeks - first family vacation with our 3-year old

The only thing I'm wondering about is park passes. Is it cheaper to buy somewhere online? At our hotel (Wyndham Bonnet Creek) or directly at the parks?

Also, if we get a 4-day pass, can we split the days apart or does it have to be 4 days in a row?

Recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Jenn

Most recommend under cover tourist though don't wait too long it can take a few weeks for you to get them.

Undercover tourist has never taken more than 4 days to get to me and Ive been using them for years unless we get free dining and we HAVE to go through Disney. I wouldnt wait that close to leaving but I would do 2 weeks and not worry about not getting them.

It may have gotten better but right before and after the price change UT was saying 3 weeks and most people were sweating when their tickets hadn't shown up after 2 weeks. Also the OP is in Canada.
