Park Tickets: When to Purchase and Where Most Economical?

[purplebelle]

So our POFQ trip is just around the corner! The past few trips we've been using old park tickets, so it's been awhile since we've bought new ones. We'll be staying for 5 days 4 night (probably only going to the parks those 3 middle days). We'd like to go to MK, MGM, and Epcot for sure, and maybe hop over to AK if we've been through all the other parks. When should I purchase my tickets (we're just under 40 days away) and from whom? I don't belong to the AAA club or anything like that. The WDW main website appears to offer a discount. Is that best? I receive the MouseSavers newsletter...do they offer cheaper tickets?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I purchase my tickets from TDS so I won't be of much help to you on saving a few bucks but check out this thread to compare prices on different websites and such http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=669818 . Also so check out http://www.hotwiresavings.com . I heard they have the best prices on Disney Tickets.

Thanks, Amirah. I'll check out this threads.

What is this hotwire people speak of? And if i join and quit within the 30 days, there's no penalty...really?

I joined Hotwire on Sunday, got my tickets yesterday(Wed), and will be cancelling my membership this weekend. We also got some movie tickets. The 7day PHP was 303 for adults and 242 for kids, a really good deal since it included tax and shipping!
