WDW tickets - where to buy from?

[pigby]

In previuos years for our tickets, we have either had Annual Passes or booked these with the tour operator. This year, I have booked a DIY Universal Studios/Disney trip. We have the 5 park Flexticket to use whilst at Universal (9 nights) but need Disney tickets for the 5 night on-site stay (6 days in WDW parks) and wondered where you have found the cheapest deals (either in the UK or US).

As our stay in WDW is (too) short, we're not planning to waste time park hopping and we'veno time for water parks, so think that the basic tickets will be fine for us - unless the ones with more options are only slightly more expensive.

Try www.ticketmania.com for MYW base tickets - they're my personal fave

Check out undercovertourist & mapleleaf (don't foget to factor in the delivery charge) too for price comparisions

We're going for Mapleleaf when we get to Orlando - I trust what JohnnySharp2 (and others) have said about them.

Hi pigby
We used http://www.undercovertourist.com/ for our tickets this year. They delivered proper tickets free of charge 4days after we booked them.

MapleLeaf are very good, and you have the advantage of either getting your tickets posted or buying them direct from their store on the 192 in Kissimmee.

The best deal I've seen around town is to buy a 4 day base and get a free day. The discounts get bigger as you put on more options such as hoppers and premiums. Disney tickets are really tricky to get good discounts on because they don't give the ticket agencies alot fo breaks. Universal and SW are a different story.

we went with Johnnys opinion to and went for Mapleleaf. they were so helpful and we got real tickets through the post. also felt because the $ rate is so good just now we got a good deal.

our son can't do water parks so he said to us don't waste money on the magic your way + the 7 extra days go for the 5 and for me that showed us they werent just in it for the hard sell. tickets came within the week to

Thank you very much for this info - I checked out the price with UK based Keith Prowse and we are talking over £520 for the 3 of us (DD now classed as an adult) but this was for the Hopper type tickets couldn't see the option to buy just base tickets.

The Base tickets from Maple Leaf will cost us around £350 based on an exchange rate of around 1.80 - quite a saving (including the $8 postage). However I notice the price of $207 per ticket will only save us just over $8 per ticket on the gate price so a saving of only $16 altogether and wondered if the risk in posting them from the US is worth it - I'd be nervous if they went astray - would there be any comeback?

On the other hand the US $ rate go go up (or go down, I know that). Plus I have never queued up at a park to get my tickets (park time way too important). Picking up tickets at Maple Leaf's office on the 192 isn't an option as we won't have a car.

One thing's for sure, looks like I'll be buying in dollars from somewhere.

We've bought from Mapleleaf several times and always had great experiences

We've had tickets delivered to the UK, ordered and collected from their office and, literally, walked in with a computer print out of ticket prices we've collected from ID 20 minutes earlier...................................

Brilliant service

like Alison says Mapleleaf posts your tickets here to the UK

I know, but I wondered what would happen if they went missing in the post, would Mapleleaf send duplicate tickets? As it's a big outlay, I wondered what the risk would be?

yes, now maybe Johnny will know better than me but I was told they are computerised and therefore can be replaced. somebody here tickets never arrived within I think it was 14 days and the took it that they had been lost in the post so they were sent knew ones. It turned out it was a royal mail fault although I can't remember how they found that out.

I think to be honest it is a risk from whoever you buy them from unless it is disney direct. All I can say is Maple were ever so helpful re my son, infact they phoned me here in the UK to advise me about buying the ticket with the shortest amount of days at the water parks (my son can't do water parks) now to me that was service.

you go with however you feel happiest with.
