Disney vs. Ticketmania

[katallo]

I need some advice. How much, if anything, will you save using Ticketmania rather than ordering from the Disney Website? Is it substantial? I may have misunderstood but will they only deliver tickets to your hotel? We aren't going until March and I'd like to purchase now.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "substantial" and how many tickets you are buying, however I like any kind of savings. Book using the mousesavers link (you must subscribe to the monthly newsletter and use the link in the newsletter) and you will save a few dollars more. And no, your only choice is not hotel delivery; they will send to your home (and delivery is free). I would suggest comparing prices and see what comes out best for you (I believe on the Disney site the prices that are quoted do not include tax and/or delivery). I have used ticketmania twice this year and was very pleased.

I second the suggestion to sign up for Mousesavers and follow the link to save money. For what I needed, I figured I saved $100 total with buying 5 passes. Make sure when you price it out with Disney, you realize they still have to add taxes, and shipping & handling. Ticketmania quotes a price that includes everything already.

They will ship to your home for free. We bought 8 day park hoppers from ticketmania for $230.00, Disney was $237.00. We needed 6 tickets so it was worth it. If you think you may change to a package later on you would have to buy a ticket with the package also.

We used Ticketmania for our June, 8-day trip. We bought a 7 day parkhopper plus water park option. I believe we saved between $8-10 a ticket. They arrived two weeks before we left (4 days after purchased online) and came with Orlando area discount books which were fun to look through. We used a couple coupons at the outlet stores and Ghiradelli Ice Cream Shop. We were happy with the discount and service!

I used them for the first time in the last month. We saved quite a few dollars and their service and delivery was terrrific. I will use them in the future.

Does Disney include tax in their final price? Not sure exactly what happened, but I went throught the Mousesaver link to buy 5 day hopper passes from Ticketmania, and paid $222. My friend decided to buy from Disney directly and do "will call" and paid $242 (price listed on the website is around $228). I thought that was a substantial difference to merit using Ticketmania.

Thanks everyone!

we also just used ticketmania for the first time recently and give them a big thumbs up. The thing to remember is that the WDW website lists prices of tickets w/o tax and w/o shipping while ticketmania includes those in the price. Once we priced out 10 day hopper plus waterpark plus no expire, it was a significant difference b/w WDW and TM. Got the tickets this weekend in the mail and there were maps, coupon books, etc...plus copies of the back of our tickets.

I just did the Ticketmania through the mousesaver link for our trip last week. I checked into Pop about 12:30 and my tickets where waiting. Just becareful I almost ripped the tickets. They are in the white paper on the envelope with your name on it.

I did get DQ tickets for $21.00 compared to 34.00. So that was a big savings.
