thanks for the info, they also say stay away from tickets being sold on E-bay. I read somewhere that they were selling used tickets and you don't find that out till you get to the parks.

Even though most outlets that offer "discount" tickets are valid the emotional distress of having to sit through 2 hours of high pressure time share selling is something I would suggest also to stay away from. Best and most reliable way to get park discounts like the 14 day 4 or 5 park flexticket can be bought from the Universal website. Also some minor discounts can be available from Disney online as well if bought in advance.

Never buy tickets from ebay...
Stay away from those timeshare discount outlets, if you refuse the selling spiel you pay normal prices anyway.
Annual passes are the best value if you visit any park several times a year or if staying for 10 days or more.
Annual passes can be bought seperately for the Disney water parks and Disney Quest, just 3 or 4 visits and the value becomes apparent.

I prefer an annual pass because of the simplicity, its good for a year and if its a premium (PAP) it gives you food sdscounts, free parking and such. Also if you visit WDW only once a year come back the next time a week or two earlier and reuse you AP or PAP before it expires, and just before it does RENEW it! Much cheaper to renew it, also look for discounts from being a AAA member also.

I thought regular AP's give discounts at some restaurants, free parking, and some shopping discounts as well???

According to this link:

Annual Passes and Premium Annual Passes are about equal in perks, water parks/DQ not withstanding.
