When to buy Advance Purchase Ticket?

[TimNDansMom]

I haven't bought tickets this way before but plan to phone down to Disney to buy an Advance Purchase Park Hopper and wondered how close to my arrival can I do this? 24hrs? 48hrs??

Where can you pick up the tickets and does Disney give you a confirmation number or something?

You can do that whenever you want. I have my tickets bought for July 3rd. There is no date on them and they don't expire.

Hi, I think you can call up to the moment you go into the parks. It's considered advanced purchase if bought anywhere except at the gates.

Tickets I think are picked up at the guest relations and yes, Disney will give you a confirmation #.

You can also buy park hoppers at Disney stores and some AAA offices.

We've always purchased advance tickets either through Disney (online or the Disney Store). This year, however, I used a ticket broker (Maple Leaf Tickets) that was recommended by other DISer's. It worked out great and I saved about $100 for the family.

I received them in the mail within a week, or they have other delivery/pick-up options.

I'll certainly use them again - think of all the cookies I can buy at Seashore Sweets with $100!!!
