Trying to order tickets, Need Help Please!

[IBLarsen]

Hi, I know I JUST read a thread on this and can't find it now. I am trying to order my tickets and have an option of E-Tickets where I print them at home, or I can have them delivered via mail for $3. The $3 is not a big deal to me, is it better to have them mailed or to print my own at home? If I print them, I think I read that I have to turn them in for actual tickets once at DL? Is this right? Here's my thought process, and I'm sure I'm way over thinking this. If I print E-Tickets then I can print of multiple copies to have as a back up, in case of losing tickets? But will I actually be able to have them re-issued off of an e-ticket anyways if lost? (if I have another printout of the eticket). The good thing with mail delivery is I don't have to worry about my printer screwing up a bar code and I don't have to stand in line to get Real Tickets right??? What seems to be the most liked method from you all?

Make it easy on yourself and print them at home. You just take the paper(s) to the turnstyle and they scan the bar code like a regular ticket, then exchange your at home printed ticket for a regular sized park ticket that works in all the fast pass machines. If for some reason you lose, or forget your ticket you can go to guest services with your cc number (I think, someone else may be able to clarify) and they can recover the ticket numbers for you.

Have a great trip!

Yes, Califgirl is right. Just print them at home. First of all, I am not sure that you are able to print 'multiple copies.' Maybe you can but they may have it fixed in the software where you cannot do that. You MIGHT be able to print one extra. But it seems to me that I tried that last year and was not able to. Otherwise, you could just hand all kinds of free tickets to other people to use (though that may be easy to catch or stop if they recognize the barcodes)! It is very easy to do. You have to go through the turnstiles anyway, to get in the parks. You are not taking any extra time to hand them the paper. It takes them two seconds to scan it and hand you the real ticket. And it saves you the trouble of having to get the tickets at a different location, and why spend the extra $3.00 to order them by mail if you do not have to? You will also get a discount coupon for merchandise when you order and/or print your tickets from the website, too.

Thanks for your help Califgirl and Sherry! I wasn't sure how the turning in the etickets for real tickets worked. I think I will go ahead and do the E-tickets and print them at home.
