Worried!

My girlfriend and I are leaving in 2 days. We are visiting WDW for 4 days and I need to know if I should Pre-purchase 4 day park hoppers at the disney store or should I wait until I get to my resort (POP CENTURY) and just buy them at check-in. Is there any savings in pre-purchasing these tickets before-hand or not? Any suggestions are most welcome!

You do save by purchasing them ahead of time (probably around $30-$40, total for you). You can buy them online and arrange to pick them up at a will-call window at any of the parks. We did this in December and it was really no trouble at all.

If you buy at Disney store they are somewhat cheaper and you have them in hand. JUST DON'T FORGET TO BRING THEM. I did that once. had to buy new tickets, which I did not have money for and had to borrow money for them, all very embarrassing and upsetting.
If you are an AAA member AAA also sells them and when I got them from them it was at a discount plus I got pass for the AAA parking lot, though I use the HC lot usually.

If you buy them ahead of time, don't forget to make a copy of the front and back - JUST in case you lose them. Disney will be able to reissue the tickets if they have the bar code numbers from the back. I always make 2 copies - I leave one at home with a friend/family and keep one in our suitcase. I keep one with a friend because I am worried that if I lose the tickets and they were in the same location as the copy (e.g. both in my checked baggage) that I would be out of luck.

It's also one less line to stand in when you arrive
