How far in advance do you purchase your park tickets and whom do you buy them through?

For our holiday next March we have just bought Universal annual passes - where we get an extra year free - these were bought direct from UniversalOrlando.

Disney we have the Magic Your Way hopper/non expiry , will be our 3rd holiday on the same 10 day tickets.
These were bought from www.mapleleaftickets.com.

If we have to buy new tickets we either buy several months in advance or from Maple Leaf's own store when we arrive in Kissimmee.

If you plan to go in 2009, the Annual Pass Premier is good value for Universal and Islands. If you order before the end of the month you get a two year pass for the price of an one year one.

I worked it out to buy an Annual Pass plus a Sea World and Aquatica 14 day ticket is just £10 more expensive than buying a Flexticket 4 park with the advantage that in 2009 we won't have to pay anything to go in Universal/Islands.

Usually I buy when I think the price is right, usually before a price increase which I think is usually in January. Though you have to make sure the Disney tickets are for the year you are going to use them.

Bev....Where did you get the prices for the Sea World & Aquatica 14 day ticket? I have been looking for the prices so that I could do the kind of comparison you've done above.

Thanks

I agree and we bought APs recently too, again because we have 2 visits within the 2 year period.

Hi Ali,

Yes , you can either order online or visit their store on the 192 in Kissimmee.
They definitely post to the UK.

We have visited their store twice and found them friendly and knowledgable, although we did buy our Annual Passes recently direct from Universal we would always go to Maple Leaf for our Disney tickets.

To be honest I have recommended them so many times on here I am thinking of asking them for a discount!

Hiya, it was attractionticketsdirect.com. I think the price was £49 for the 2 park ticket.

I've been looking at ticket prices for our trip next March/April and found this site today http://www.tickets4fun.com/usermain.asp?tcatid=6. I haven't used them but their prices look competitive.
I bought the Universal tickets last week froms Dreams Unlimited for $86.00 as I don't think we will be going again for a while after our trip next year.
Disney have just had a price increase haven't they? Is it likely there will be another increase in January?
