Tickets???

When comparing prices. UT is usually best I'm my experience. Be aware when you are looking at different sites that you are comparing apples to apples. Some will not show tax or shipping etc until checkout.

Possible Tip (I think):
Because of the convoluted pricing, a 5 day PH+WP ticket was $20 more than a 4 day PH+WP ticket. But from what I can tell,

1. it will only cost me $10 to upgrade at the park -
2. and I can wait to see if I want the extra day.
3. Or am I missing something?

Assuming YOUR numbers are correct:
1. Adding one day to a 4-day ticket will cost $10, plus tax.
2. Yup. (But you won't be able to make any FP+ for that day until you do the upgrade.
3. Nope. (USE the original ticket to enter a theme park at least one time BEFORE doing the upgrade to get the $10 price.)

My current most likely plan is to move from USO to BCV on a Tuesday morning, spend the day at either TL or BB, and maybe, just maybe, go to the MNSSHP that evening. When I was looking at the free fifth day, that gave me the option of planning to skip the party and go to Epcot around dinner time and enjoy the evening EMH.

If indeed we decide to forego the party and upgrade to 5 days, I'd start my FP+ for Wed, taking through Sat (our last full day), but use the ticket on Tue evening, and then upgrade. For that sort of evening, I don't see a need for advanced FP+.

Obviously we'll decide whether to do the party or Epcot on Tue before our 60 day window hits, since we'll want to get the party tickets much earlier.

I looked at Official Ticket Center, Park Savers, and Undercover Tourist.

OTC had the best prices for what I wanted, but when it came time to submit my order, it just looped, with no error message. That, plus incomplete security caused me to give up. (Incomplete security means doing things like having insecure images on an otherwise secure web page. Because of the way browsers tell you about the page security, it's a bad idea to do this, even though it's technically not a security hole.)

PS doesn't seem to have physical tickets, so I gave up. Also, Touring Plans had a link to Park Savers that should have explained how to link a ticket voucher to MDE, but it was a dead link. I can't tell if that's TP's or PS's fault.

So I gave up on both of them and went with UT. Upgrading to include the water parks brought their price in line with the other two. The web site is much smoother than either of the other two, especially the checkout, and that means something for me.

Just that you can only book 4 days of FP

Yup.
But, we've already come down this path in this thread.
