Can a US citizen buy passes &/or hotels through Disney's foreign websites?

Interesting. A 14 day ticket with MM is less than a 9 day park hopper (without MM) direct through Disney, even with exchange rate.

I bought the UK 14 day magic tickets with hoppers and MM included. Was less than a 9 day non hopper ticket on the third party sites here in America. When I went to pay I just had to verify with my bank I was really making the purchase. Saved a lot of money and got the hoppers and the MM as a bonus. Plus it came with a card that gives you’d money off drinks and stuff in the area. Excellent deal, great costumer service, no issues at all. Added it to my MDE with no problems.

Am I seeing this correctly, around $500 savings purchasing a WDW 7 day park hopper through AttractionTickets UK site (using a no foreign transaction fee credit card and based on today’s exchange rate) compared to Undercover Tourist?

£2304 vs. $3429?

Also curious if these tickets will be allowed to purchase MPLL 7 days prior to arrival?

If it’s a yes to both I won’t hesitate to purchase from AttractionTickets for our next trip.

I’m not doing the math, too late at night for that, lol. But the tickets are emailed. You add them to your MDE account & assign them to your party members. They are actual, normal WDW tickets just the same as if you bought them from WDW. Anything you can do with a ticket bought from WDW you can do with this ticket.

Can I upgrade the value of these into a sorcerer pass?

I think they only give you the value you paid not the face value of the tickets. They changed that a few years ago

The 14 day ticket isn't offered if I use the drop down menu on the top and select the US flag ( USD currency).
Leave location as UK and you're still good to go.

It's clear these tickets aren't intended for US residents. YMMV

I see they are running 15% off for Black Friday with code BLACKFRIDAY.

Just want to share my experience for a data point. I went through attraction tickets and chose Ireland to process as euros. I kept getting “payment failed”. I even emailed with them and they had me try just 100 euros instead of the whole amount (I tried both credit card and Apple Pay), but kept failing. A sales woman called me the next day and tried over the phone, but still payment failed. So she decided to build out my tickets in the UK states (pounds) instead. Ran credit card for 100 pounds and worked! She sent me a link and her email and said wait 24hrs then I can pay off the rest if I want, but to contact her directly if issues and she will call me again. Overall, a bit of a pain but great customer service! So if you have issues with payment just reach out or call them and they will help you.

I tried paying with my credit card and payment failed. I then did it through PayPal with the same card and it went through. With the BLACKFRIDAY code it’s a very good deal.

Yes! We don’t need all 14 days, but still cheaper and includes waterpark and memory maker! Also nice I could purchase the insurance for about $20/ticket to cancel or change and get full refund if needed.

I was only planning on getting 7 day hoppers and skipping the parks on arrival and departure day. But these tickets come out even cheaper than 7 day hoppers plus we get memory maker! Since we’re staying at AKL we figure it won’t hurt to go to AK on our arrival and departure day now.

Yes exactly!!

I had a similar issue when I bought tickets for our September trip. It was the end of a sale & I was getting the same messages. I had gotten an authorization message from my credit card company & indicated it was me making the purchase but still didn’t go thru. I ended up calling my CC company & it eventually went thru. I had discussed the problem thru email but also had great customer service.

I agree it’s a great deal, especially if staying a week or longer. I would definitely use them again.

Another update - logged in to make full payment with credit card and went through fine this morning! I received a notice that tickets will be sent mid-Dec since they are for 2025.

so what I'm reading here is it seems attraction tickets is the way to go....but I only see a 14 day option,not 7...is that the only one?

They sometimes have a 7 day option but I don’t see it at this time.

Right now they don’t have the 7 day option. When I looked before the 14 day wasn’t much more than the 7 and right now they have a 15% discount code for Black Friday. If you don’t need all 14 days you can change your start date to be earlier if it’s cheaper. Example we plan to arrive on a Sat but the tickets were more expensive to start them that day so I chose Friday as the start instead to save some additional $.

I was going to say this exact same thing! My tickets start about 3 days before we actually arrive because it was about $10 per day less, and since you have 18 days from the start date selected to use them (I believe that is the length of time), it was fine. As @jennab mentioned, I also had issues this year when I tried to check out (I've bought tickets from then before with no problems). Their customer service was great and they helped get everything taken care of.

So if you wanted to buy a few tickets for December of next year, you could just put down a deposit if you chose too and pay them off during the year? This sounds almost too good to be true. Is there a catch or any risk involved?
