Undercover Tourist

[Dewy]

I read something briefly about them a while back and I'm considering using them for our October 8 day vacation. Are they really a better deal than buying direct? Also, I'm used to having our room key and park pass all one the one card that the resort gives you when you check in; what are their tickest like...is it a paper ticket, do you get a seperate one for each day at the park you've purchased?

Any other pros and cons??

Thanks to all who reply.

Yes, they are much better. First, they much cheaper, especially if you use the special link from the Mousesavers newsletter (don't forget that their prices include tax and shipping and Disney's don't, so take that into account when comparing prices). Second, tickets purchased from Undercover Tourist can be downgraded or returned for a refund (minus a 10% fee unless there is a hurricane), and tickets from Disney cannot. Third, they will keep a photocopy of your tickets on hand so that if you lose your tickets they can contact Disney and get your tickets reissued.

Also, I'm used to having our room key and park pass all one the one card that the resort gives you when you check in; what are their tickest like...is it a paper ticket, do you get a seperate one for each day at the park you've purchased?

You get one paper ticket per person that has all your days on it. If you are staying on property, they can transfer your paper tickets to your room key when you check in.

We used them last year without any problem! We did the dining plan this year, so we couldn't use the tickets and save money. Their prices increase Aug 3 I believe, so buy asap!

I have used Undercovertourist a few times and they are great. They also send you a copy of the tickets, so that in the event you lose them, they can easily be replaced at Guest Services at any of the parks.
They are the exact same paper tickets you get if you purchase them at the parks. I am not sure if they can be put on your WDW resort room key, though.

We were just there in June, got our tickets from UT. Yes they can be added to your room key. We just presented our tickets when we checked in and they added them to the key.

Dewey - I was just wondering the same thing for an upcoming trip in October. Glad to hear you can combine the park tickets into your room key while staying on-site.

Anyone know of any cons of doing this?

Do they mail the tickets or do you have to pick them up?

this morning from UT. (their site says prices are going up 8/3.) They will ship standard mail for free - estimated 15 days until receipt but ours came quicker last time. You can pick them up at their ofice if you wish.

I bought two adult and two children ten day park hopper with no expiration. The list price is $1,778. I paid $1,681. Not a huge savings but not a lot of work either. I used the Moussaver newsletter mentioned above. The tickets would have been about $60 higher without the link.

The newsletter comes out the fifteenth of every month.

They have the lowest prices that I could find. The ticket are on heavy-duty paper that doesn't tear. They can be transferred to your resort key.

I ordered my ticket online on a Tuesday night and the tickets arrived in the mail on Saturday. And you have to sign for the package when it is delivered.
