I have always bought mine from AAA before we left home. That way there is no waiting line for tickets when we get there. Plus, AAA gives you a few perks that you can't get with reg. passes like free parking and one day of early entry.

We purchase our tickets through Getawaytoday.org. I don't know if it is still available but for evevery adult pass we purchased we got a free child's pass. The deal was also a 5 day pass ofor the price of a 4 day pass. Also on the back of the ticket it said to show it at the ESPN zone for $10 zone card. This was good on the adult and child passes. It is like a credit card that you slide in the games. I think it worked out that each card played 4-5 games depending on the cost of the game. We payed with a credit card and we were sent a voucher. We presented the voucher at the desk when we checked in at the GC and they gave us the tickets. We needed 7 adult tickets but only 5 childrens but we got the two extra and gave them to our cousins children that live in the area and spent the day with us. It turned into a great deal. They were park hoppers. Good Luck we had a great time.

You could always get them at the Disney Store, and if you have a Disney Club card, you might be able to get a small discount.

I don't think ticket lines will be very long unless you're going during a peak season. We were there the 2nd week of October and there were no lines at the ticket booths, only the entrances. My guess is a lot of people get their tickets with packages, in advance, or at the hotel they're staying at.

If you decide to purchase tickets at the park:

If the lines are long at the main ticket booths, purchase your tickets at the monorail station at Downtown Disney. I have never seen more than 5 people in line here. You can also purchase your tickets at any of the Disney Hotels.

Have fun.

As much as I'd love to order my tix thru CAA here in Canada, they only sell DW tickets!! Would any of you recommend I buy my passes at a Disney Store in Michigan, or wait and buy them at the hotel (I am staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel)??

we got our tix and hotel from them...my dad got tix only from them...we got the 4 day hopper for 3 day price, kids tix free and 10.00 espn game card. they fed-exed them to us and they were cheaper than AAA or disney club prices! if you go to their website, you will find a 1-800 # to use if you want to talk to a real person and order them over the phone instead of ordering online!

We were there this weekend (Sat 11/24) and at 8:45am the lines were HORRENDOUS. If you have a choice, by all means get the tix early so you can walk right in. Hope this helps!!
