Park Tickets not purchased from Disney?

[mkla2015]

My company has access to a discount site called "lifemart"- I noticed they sell Disney tickets with a small discount. I'm torn on if I should buy from them (saving $115) or just go ahead and purchase my park tickets through Disney. I have never purchased tickets anywhere other than Disney.

Has anyone heard of this site or used them? Have you purchased tickets from somewhere other than Disney and successfully linked them to your account?

I'm pretty sure the site and tickets are legit- my concern is not being able to link them to my account and not being able to make FP+ selections.

Plenty of third-party resellers are legit, you can link tickets from all of them. I've never heard of lifemart.

Compare their prices to Undercover Tourist.

Compare their prices to Undercover Tourist.

Do you still have to use the special link in the Mousesavers email in order to get the lowest price?

Make sure you compare the final price (ticket + tax + shipping/handling). A number of places seem cheaper until the final checkout.

You also need to find out if you are getting physical tickets (guaranteed to work in MDE) or electronic /will call (sometimes you need to obtain another code to work in MDE )
You also need to get your tickets before your 30 or 60 day FP+ window opens

Please be careful nothing starts off the vacation like being scammed - I haven't heard of it but maybe a quick ring to Disney to see if they are legit?

Although I'm confident that you're in a good spot as your company is affiliated with it

I've heard of LifeMart - my company has had that as a perk in the past. However, when I started looking at the final cost with taxes, shipping, fees, etc...it was definitely not a cost savings.

I had better luck using the MouseSavers link to Undercover Tourist, and I cannot sing enough praises for that company. My tickets either come from Undercover Tourist or Disney itself.

The final checkout price was $115 cheaper than Disney- not much but hey it's $100! There are 2 options- they can mail physical tickets or they can email them to you.

I'll check out undercover tourist- do they actually mail tickets or is it email?

we bought ours through AAA. No problem at all linking them.

Either one.

Undercover Tourist prices include tax and shipping is free.

I have access to Working Advantage and, although the initial price of the tickets is much less, the shipping costs were out there!! UT was the best I found. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!

I did some comparison shopping including Tickets At Work, Undercover Tourist, The Official Ticket Center, AAA and Disney. I found the best price for my Disney tickets was using my touring plans link and buying from The Official Ticket Center while my SeaWorld tickets were cheapest through Undercover Tourist so I bought them from each company respectively. I requested physical tickets for Disney (it was 6 months before my trip) and had no problem at all linking them to my account (and also no problem linking Magic Bands myself as I was staying off site).

UT is often not the best 3rd party option- even with the mousesavers link. Officialticketcenter and Parksavers are almost always less on all but a couple of ticket options, and sometimes the difference is quite a bit. If email delivery is an issue for you, then these may not make sense- but we opted to save more money since we have to go to guest services to validate a new AP anyways.

If you purchase 3rd party tickets, but are staying on site, do you still get 60 days for fp+? Or are you down to a 30 day window?

Yes.

You may find the green link in my signature helpful.

This summer, Orbitz had the best ticket deal: 5 days for the price of 3. It was about $17 per ticket cheaper than Undercover Tourist with the Mousesavers discount.
