Im sure its been asked before but....

[itsdisneytime]

I have been trying to find a straight answer on google and I cant seem to find one ...

I have CASH on hand -- I do not have a credit card I wish to use and I need to purchase my tickets ONLINE for my daughter and myself. I have three questions actually:

1. Where is the best place to purchase tickets (like the best deal)

2. Can I purchase a Universal Studios Gift Card and use that to purchase my tickets over the phone?

3. If you answered yes to #2 --- what sorts of places sell Universal Gift Cards ... ive heard Kroger but then I heard to beware of them ... how about Walgreens or CVS?

Thanks in advance for your help

I would call Universal and ask them the best way to do this.

You can't use the gift cards to buy tickets over the phone or online. We recently had a thread about that. You can only use them at the gate.

Not sure how you can make online payments with cash. Do you have paypal? I'm not sure if they even take that.


Best place to buy tickets is www.undercovertourist.com and it doesn't look like they take paypal either.

Yup, in some of their stores but not online.

You might be able to purchase a VISA Prepaid card from a local grocery store and then use it to purchase the tickets online.

That's probably the best thing to do.

if you google i saw that amex has a gift card promo with no fees currently running.

Costco sells tickets.

glad you mentioned that. The current offering three days, park to park good through December 2015 works great for us. We will be in Orlando June 2013 and 2015.

I was debating buying 1 day park-park or two day one park passes for next summer. The Costco ticket solves that dilemma.

If you have an AAA membership you can buy Universal tickets through them and pay cash to the Agent that assists you.

all awesome ideas!! you guys are great! I would get the costco ticket BUT, I really can only use 2 days.

You know, I WAS JUST at AAA with my mother and I did not even THINK about that! I am a premium member so that is what I will look into. I wonder if they charge a surplus charge for buying them there. I heard that there were deals on tickers online though and I think that was why I was so dead set on purchasing them online. I think I will do some studying up on the ticket prices.

I really like the amex info especially!! that is good stuff! thanks again

With the Costco ticket, you can use the three days any time you like over the next 3 years.
