Going in 1 week - buying park tickets before?

[MeridaAndAngus]

My friend & I are going to DLR for one day next week. Is there any way to buy our tickets before we get there so we will have a physical ticket we can walk straight to the turnstiles with when we arrive? From what I remember if we buy tickets online we still have to redeem our receipt for a physical ticket at guest services.

Can we buy actual physical tickets at a Disney Store, or will we still have to go to guest services?

Buy your ticket through Disney and take the printout directly to the turn styles. They will swap them for real tickets - it's a very fast process!
I don't think there's any way to get your hands on real tickets before your trip.

If you have the Disneyland app on your phone, you can also buy them on the app.
