Disney Tickets. Before or After Arrival

[jester911]

Just wondering if I could pick the brains of all you disney plan-o-holics out there. I am searching and searching online for the best deal for tickets to a few evernts in the Disney area for my October trip. Early but hey thats what we do. Anyway. Is it better to buy tickets to events like Disney and waterparks. Pirate dinners and Universal Studios that sort of thing before you go online. Or should I wait and look when I get to Florida. Not interested in Timeshare deals. Although they do look good. Just I am going with my family and my DW and I with our four DS's don't want to waste any time.
Thanks in advance.

So are you looking for regular Disney tickets or to special events like Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party?

If you are looking for regular Disney tickets (and don't already have them included with a Disney Vacation Package) I recommend using Undercover Tourist. They are an authorized Disney reseller; I have purchased from them twice and they are very reliable. You should also sign up for the Moussavers.com newsletter to get an extra discount on Undercover Tourist tickets. Please note the Undercover Tourists prices include tax and shipping while most other resellers do not include those items until check out.

We haven't done Universal yet. We're waiting for our daughter to be a bit older. I have seen three month passes for Universal at the local Costco for about a hundred dollars. Haven't looked recently but they have been there the last couple of years.

Undercover Tourist is terrific! We've used them 3 times and been very pleased with their fast, exceptional service.

Thanks so much. I really like the Undercover Tourist site. Also If you had to pick two out of the four parks to do which ones would be best for kids. All boys ages 9,7,6,6. It will be their first time.
Thanks

Well, we love all 4 parks but I think it would come down to what attractions appeal to your crew. I would think Magic Kingdom would be a must, then do you want to touring the countries in Epcot, do the coasters in Hollywood Studios or see the animals and shows in Animal Kingdom.
