Disney Theme Park Tickets

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me out, I'm looking for discounted Disney tickets, has anyone had any luck dealing with any of the discount brokers down in Orlando? I think the best deal I have found so far is buy 4 days get the 5th day free, but it's only a little cheaper than what Disney has, so I'm not sure the benefit outweighs the risk.

Thanks in advance.

check out www.mousebuzz.com a lot of the members there are Disney pros and helped me a lot over the years of Disney planning. Since we go every year I bought 6 day w/ Waterparks & More / No Exp tickets and its lasted us 4 years as we do 3 Days @ Disney and 3 Days at the Beach.

I highly recommend undercovertourist.com. We've had great service and found the consistently best prices (not huge discounts, though) from this company over the past few years. Also check out Mapleleaf tickets and TicketMania, and your local AAA office may also have good Disney ticket discounts.

I second undercovertourist, and in fact just bought our Disney tickets there. When price comparing, be aware that most vendors, including Disney, quote prices before taxes and shipping. Undercovertourist includes both tax and shipping in the price, which makes them the lowest price out there that I found.

For the tickets I need - 7 day w/water parks w/expiration - ticketmania.com was cheaper than undercover tourist. $ 266 compared to $277. The price also includes tax and free shipping.

I have used TicketMania and was very pleased with them. No problems.

as you've seen, the "discount" discounts are only a small discount over buying direct from WDW (which we have done a couple times). We get them by mail from WDW. It costs a few bucks more but for that much money (4 multi-day tix---well over 1000.00) I didn't want to mess around. All the deep discount tickets involve a timeshare tour. 100% of them. Always buy brand-new tickets, too, not one advertised as a multi-day with some days remaining. There is no way to check without physically putting the ticket in the machine at the gate at WDW. Also, now they do the finger thing (not finger print exactly, but roughly similar) on all multi-day tickets so you can't swap them around. If you do tour a t/s, though, the ticket deals can be pretty good. We've done that for $100 Disney Dollars, etc.. Not too bad.

Which t/s tours offer free Disney tickets. We are only looking for 1 or 2 day tickets?

stop at ANY of the THOUSANDS of kiosks anywhere in the Central Fla area! Marriott gives, typically, Disney Dollars (about 100). Westgate gave Disney tickets or greatly reduced. We got 3 tickets to Cirque du Soleil for 100.00 (they are about 80 each normally). Stop and ask. If the deal sounds not good enough, drive 100 yards to the next booth----literally.
