Disney Park tix cheapest?

[Disney Pal]

I was wondering is it cheaper to purchase online, disney store or hotel?

Undercover Tourist online, but use the link provided in the Mouse Savers newsletter for an even cheaper deal. I believe there is no price difference if you purchase from Disney, be it the Disney Store, Disney.com, or your hotel. Buying at the hotel while on the trip could make it difficult to get good FP+.

Buying from an authorized reseller like Undercover Tourist or Maple Leaf Tickets is a much smarter plan than buying directly from Disney.

Just to answer that question directly...
If you are buying from DISNEY on-line, or a DISNEY hotel, or Disney Store...
the prices are the same, regardless.

If you buy them from the econo-lodge then you'll probably get stuck in a timeshare trap.

If you have access to Tickets At Work they sometimes have some deals. No one offers great deals but if it pays for a couple lunches might be worth it.

Just be careful. I have access to Working Advantage through my Union and, although the tickets themselves were cheaper, the cost to process and ship made them more expensive than buying from Disney. I used Undercover Tourist.

I was just wondering whether to buy before we leave our trip or from our hotel when we get there. That way they could connect with our magic bands. Thanks for all your comments!

I priced out lots of options (make sure to get all the way to the check out in order for all taxes/fees to be included), Tickets at Work, Undercover Tourist, Disney, AAA and the Official Ticket Center. I found the best price for my Disney tickets to be through Official Ticket Center and my Sea World tickets to be through Undercover Tourist.

You can't book fastpasses until you have your tickets, so you'll want to buy them at least 60+ days before your trip starts. You can add them to your MDE account regardless of where or when you buy them.

PP is correct, I just wanted to add that your magic bands basically contain the info in My Disney Experience (MDE). The moment you add info to MDE, it can be read by the magicbands. So, yes, get tix before, add them to your MDE, and make your FP+ reservation 60 days out. Your tix are not activated until the first day you enter a park.

Purchase them before your trip so that you can book your FP+ before you arrive.

Agree with above, if you are at a Disney hotel buy before 60 days. If you purchase via your MDE account where your hotel reservation is the computer will automatically attach it to your account. If you are off-property buy before 30 days via Disney they are still linked to your account. If you buy from someone else ...it's easy to link them to your MDE account.

You absolutely want to book FP+ as soon as you can.

Is tax still charged if you buy at Disney Store in a state with no sales tax?
