WDW Park tickets

My family of 8 will be going to Disney next Easter. We just started the planning. I'm reading that the ticket prices are increasing in August. Is it a substantial increase to the point where I should buy my tickets now? Does anyone know where I can get a discount on the prices? Thanks.

Go to Mousesavers and follow their link to Undercover Tourist! They have discounts there. Nobody knows for sure how much the increase will be but there are rumours flying around that it will be about 5-6% with the bigger increase in the childrens' ticket!

If you would end up purchasing a Disney package I would not buy tickets now as a ticket purchase would be required with the package.

I would definitely wait to buy the tickets. If a package deal comes out then you'll be required to buy tickets as part of your deal meaning you'll end up buying your tickets twice.

We are not planning on doing a package. Our plan is to rent a pool home.

If that's the case (and you're sure that you wouldn't want to take advantage of any onsite promotion - like free dining) - then I would definitely second the suggestion of using Undercovertourist NOW to buy them. With that many tickets to buy - every little bit helps.

Thanks. I just tried the Undercovertourist site and it's temporarily down. Hopefully it will be up soon.

Okay, I'm confused. I just booked a room and dining plan with AP rates. I don't have an AP yet, but was going to buy one AP for myself and three Park Hopper tickets for my family members prior to the rate increase. Are you saying that I will have to buy additional tickets? Is what I booked considered a "package"?
