Ticket prices

[bazzanoid]

Evening all!

I was doing some ticket research tonight, and found that Orlando Attraction Tickets come out cheapest for the main WDW and Flexticket options. Having never heard of them before i've done some digging and it seems its operated by the folks who run usrentacar.co.uk. Just thought I'd share what I've found today for 2013 tickets in case anyone else finds it useful:

Surprised you haven't heard of them, they have been coming up on ticket searches a while now. Kenny used to include them in his monthly ticket thread around 2 years ago. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2788722

Saying that they were not the cheapest for me a few week back. I used http://floridaescapes.co.uk/attractions/disney but since seen cheaper here with this company who I had not heard of, they are part of Charter Travel who I have heard of.http://www.best4usa.com/attraction_tickets.html

In a real quandary here over tickets, we are there from 11th august until 18th then 27th till the 31st, I am unsure if I should go for a 3 week ticket or get an annual pass as I think I will be there in July next year looking at my holidays going forward.

AP = £424
PAP = £507
21 Day Ultimate = £257

We initially had 21 tix to get free DDP last year, upgraded to PAP's knowing we were going back April, got 20% off purchases and got a good deal converting to tickets(cheaper than buying a PAP outright)
Now they have changed the discount to 10% on all purchases with either AP or PAP and we don't use the water parks we are going to renew but drop to regular AP, renewal price is £360. We will be there 17 days next month and 14 days next May so hopefully get use out of it. After that we have decided to drop Disney for a few years.

Don't forget some of the cheaper sites sell vouchers rather than actual tickets which you need to exchange at the gate. They're mainly fine but we are rope drop people so don't like that extra hassle for the sake of a few quid.

We are totally the opposite, enjoy going to DTD on arrival night and swapping any vouchers, this time we won't have vouchers but will be renewing AP's Never found vouchers hassle but others do.

When I have bought tickets rather than passes I have always got the print off type direct from disney, one less thing to go wrong for only a few pounds difference.

Just now our plans after May are to do Busch (my fave park) & Seaworld then explore Florida a little more, maybe split stays with another state as we are this next trip, 17 nights in Florida then 7 nights around New Hampshire.
Feeling Disney are all take just now, increasing OKW, inceasing tickets, parking, removing benefits like 20% off purchases etc. I am sure after a year or 2 break we will be ready to pay again.
I pay £39/year for Busch, same for SeaWorld, wish I could get a Disney AP for same price £39 x 4 parks = £156, that would entice me back

I agree ticket prices have risen a lot. We do annual pass and as DVC we got a very good rate this year. But we are venturing out of disney this year Using avios for hotels. Just looking for flight deals any thing to keep the cost down.
