Ticket purchase timing

[pjweaver]

DW and I are heading down to WDW in July, but haven't got our park passes yet. We are renting DVC points and wanted to pay that off before getting the tickets. Has any rumors popped up about price increases?
We will be getting 10 day park hoppers, and get a slight discount through either of our jobs or AAA.
Thanks for any tips.

If memory serves, prices went up last year in early summer (June??). They do go up every year, at least once.... The general of rule of thumb is buy them as soon as you can. Also, check out Undercover Tourist for discounted tix. Reputable dealer, nothing to worry about in that dept. At least see how their prices compare to the discounts you mentioned.

The past several years tickets have increased near the end of February. Disney usually announces it a few days before the increase goes into effect. I would bet it will be the same this year.

Thanks Legomom, I'm trying to hold off, so we're thinking April.
My wife made me stand in line for that M&G because I was wearing my Doug shirt. It caused a magic moment for us, as Doug spent too much time with me showing me his toys until the handler had to step in. I'm not usually into the characters, but I'm sure you can attest that this is one great stop.
