At your local AAA office.

Comparision shop--I found that my AAA office prices for park hopper passes are slightly more than buying them from the disney store. However, if you buy AAA passes you get some sort of priority parking spaces at the parks. If you're driving that might be an advantage. I've done quite a bit of comparision shopping for park passes and always find buying them direct from the Disney store is the cheapest. Plus, I trust that method better. I'm leary of some websites that offer deeply discounted prices for passes. There's no way to tell if these passes are used up before you go to the park. At least with buying them at the Disney store I feel if I keep the receipt and pay using a credit card I'd have a leg to stand on if I got to the park and the passes weren't valid. Even if I had to pay for the passes at the gate again I could dispute the charge via the credit card. However, don't buy the passes too far in advance. Most credit cards only allow 60 days to dispute a charge once its posted, so don't be beyond that window in case something goes wrong with the passes and then you're stuck with the charges.

AAA parking is for folks that purchase vacation packages, not passes only, from AAA.

Buying in advance from Disney usually saves you money, however, the online ticket brokers IE: ticketmania.com floridaorlandotickets.com and the brokers right here on this site, plus a few others I do not have the sites for sell legitimate tickets.
I have yet to hear that they were not valid tickets and sold as advertised. EBAY, well, that is a different story as are some of the timeshare comeons.

If they are lost and you have the receipt and have taken a photo copy of the back, they can be replaced by Disney.

I bought a 4 day park hopper from AAA last July, and did get the Diamond parking pass, without buying a package.

We have tried that here and they say it is only for packages, I am happy they let you have one.

I got one too..without a package. Didn't find it to be all that useful. The parking is closer..but the walk is longer..no shuttles.

I just payed $197 for a 4 day Adult hopper at AAA - cheaper than TDS b/c they don't discount on 4 days, only 5 or more. I also received the AAA parking pass with just the pass hoppers - not package. I didn't even ask, the woman just handed it to me with the passes. For those on LI, this was at the Garden City Office.

Hi!
We live on the New Hampshire/Massachusetts states boarder
and compare the prices of all the passes offered by AAA offices in each state.
We have lookedup office locations in the AAA State Travel Guide Books, in the back , of cities we were going to pass through in any travel we do or on our way to WDW or in Florida.
We found different offices have a price advantage over others.
The prices of passes include the Universal, Seaworld, and others.
Lastly the usual check-in at Mousesavers.com is helpful.
ENJOY!
