Question about buying park tickets

[kitkatsmom]

I tried to search this to see if someone else asked but I can't get the search feature to work? It might be my darn computer.

Question:

When you buy tickets in advance I have heard they are cheaper then if you buy them at the gate.

Does it save you money if you buy them in the disney stores at the mall?
Or is there a better place to pre-buy them from?

We are looking to do a fast last minute trip to disney.

Thanks for any help

I recommend purchasing them through a online discounted ticket broker. I purchased mine through ticketmania, but I hear that undercovertourist is good, plus no shipping charges. I recommend that you go mousesavers.com and register for the newsletter. She sends it out the 15th of each month with a special link to discounted rates, these rates are given only to members of the newletter. The problem is you may be too late for today's issue, but it is worth a try. good luck!!!

Thanks. I do subscribe to the mousesavers newsletter so I will see what's in it.
I didn't realize it came out today.

Ticketmania is great. We saved $100 on our tickets last year. They came in about 10 days with a photocopy of the backs of the tickets. Turns out, DH lost 2, so we really needed those copies.

Did the actual tickets come or just photocopies and then you picked the tickets up at the gate?

 

[seashoreCM]

The photocopies and also the tickets themselves come together. For those agencies that don't send photocopies you should copy down all the digits and codes on the back yourself (or make your own photocopy), actually two copies are better, one to leave at home and the other to bring and lock in the resort room safe.

When buying tickets from non-Disney sources you need to be more careful of what you want. You may lose any savings if you need to upgrade or add to the tickets since you generally pay the difference between gate price of what y9ou want versus wholesale price of what you have.

Doesn't matter whether your computer won't do the search, if you don't succeed in finding what you want within five minutes, feel free to post your own question and ask. It is preferable to add your question to an existing thread about the same topic but you do not have to click and wait for each pageful of existing replies to read first.

I need some advice...
We are only going to be able to do 2 full days of WDW in June
Are there any places that sell discount tickets for just one day, or is there such thing as a two day pass? I notice ticket mania sells 3 day passes, anyone know.
Thanks

There are NO discounts that I can think of on 1 or 2 day tickets.
