Deadline for purchasing ticket

[LSU Mom]

Have a trip planned soon but because of illness in family, I don't want to purchase my ticket until the last moment in case I need to cancel trip. How quickly do you receive confirmation when you purchase tickets from ParkSavers or UndergroundTourist? Tell me about your experiences with these sites?

Thank you.

The later you buy tickets, the later you have to wait to book FP+.

You can order "e-Tickets" from UndergroundTourist and get the confirmation numbers from them within a couple of days of your order.

We did Parksavers. Got a receipt immediately, but it takes 72 hours to get the confirmation number to link with MDE (and then it was easy).

Thks. Not concerned about FastPass+ because it's a solo adult trip.

We bought eTickets from undercover tourist on 2/16 at 9:49am and I had the ticket numbers in hand to link to MDE account at 9:52am. So in our case 3 minutes.

I've used UT in the past....Never even heard of PS until a week or so ago...Their prices are actually way cheaper than UT. Does anyone have any experience with them and how reputable they are...

Also I might be bridging them to DVC golf in Nov. If I'm able to lock down another trip next summer. Any problems with sound that Do the this company?

ParkSavers has been recently much discussed (within the past few weeks,) at length.
Others have bought and used their tickets.
They are an authorized WDW ticket reseller, with the same tickets (printed by Disney) as UT sells.
Their tickets can be upgraded just like other authorized WDW ticket resellers' tickets.

What UT has is "e-tickets" with near-instant (within minutes, up to within a day or two) attachment to your MDE account in order to make FP+ reservations sooner (if necessary.)

And, UT has a stellar record on this board with great customer service.
So... that's a consideration, too.

I have only used UT and only for having them send the actual plastic tickets not the eTickets. Took maybe 7-9 days to get them in, but I ordered the day after the most recent price increases were announced, so I'm sure they slammed since at that point they were still selling at the old prices. I'm not sure about the eTickets, but physical plastic tickets that are multi-day for WDW do not have expiration dates, so as long as you know you will go at some point, there's really no harm in going ahead and ordering one. If you have to cancel this trip, it would be able to be used for a future trip.
