POLL: Do you Pre-Order your Tickets or Pay at the Gate when you get there?

[fairytinkerbell]

Wondering if i should buy now (charge and pay off next month) and pay off before the trip so that's all done and paid for, or wait until i get to the gate.

What do you do?? Please select your choice on my poll.

Bought our tickets at the Disney store a couple of months ago. They were cheaper than at the gate and I used my Disney visa and will put the points toward our stay.

Even if you buy them ahead of time, and dont end up going, they are still good until next time that you do end up going.

I buy them at the Disney Store also. That way I don't have to waste precious time standing in line at the park and paying more. There's also a chance that the price of the advance tickets will go up, so I buy them as soon as I know I'm going for sure.

We always buy our tickets at least 6 months in advance. I like to have as much of the vacation paid for in advance as possible!
We had a family member back out of the last trip at the last minute...so we already have a 7 day hopper for the next trip.

Just back from 4 days in the world!!! Always buy our TIX at TDS also - saves a little!!! Then you know they're paid for!!

I buy AP's and there is no advance discount. I buy when we get there unless word gets out there is going to be a price increase, in which case I buy vouchers ahead of time.

Always buy them ahead of time to save money and have one less thing to do when we get there. It's bad enough to wait in line to have an AP validated.

We Dont buy Tickets But Having a spouse that is a Castmember Does Have its perks My Wife works for a Disney Co. ABC Television Yay We dont need Tickets

I voted that I buy them upon arrival in case we have to cancel. That's what I've done every trip except the most recent. This last trip, June 2004, I bought them a few months early & we picked them up at will call. That saved us about $140 for five 5-day-PH's. I figured we go so often we'd always be able to use them.

We bought our tickets early - just so we could save a few bucks!

 

[jbwolffiv]

We have always bought before getting there. We too used our Disney Credit Card to get points for the purchace.

I buy mine usually at AAA, but I usually just get them at the gate if I don't have the time.

I purchase hoppers at AAA if I don't have AP's.

 

[mommytutu]

I made a room reservation, bought 5-day park hoppers, and tickets for MNSSHP all with one phone call. All the tickets arrived in the mail and made my day. Doing it all at once saved me time and buying the tickets early saved me money. I want to have as much of this trip paid for before we even leave the house.

 

[fairytinkerbell]

i guess i should order my tickets early!

 

[Bill K]

There is a discount if you purchase in advance! Does not hurt to buy hopper passes in advance, they never expire..

 

[RamseyTrio]

We buy ours in advance in order to save a few bucks and have as much of our trip paid for in advance as we possibly can.

Last year we got them from paramount travel for an excellent rate plus a b'fast voucher. This year we got them from AAA with a special parking pass.

We definitely take advantage of the discount to buy ahead. Our last trip we only needed a 7 day park hopper, so I ordered it online and did "will call" pick up.
