Ticket Overview


Disney Tickets and passes are probably the most expensive part of any Orlando vacation with the possible exception of accommodations.

As is the case with accommodations, there is a bewildering array of options a
nd price ranges to choose from.

One size definitely does not fit all when it comes to park tickets.



The most common questions asked are which tickets/passes are right for me?

where should I buy my Disney tickets/passes?

Are there any discounts available?

I recommend that you read this whole page to find your answers and familiarize yourself with the many different options available to you.

DisneyShopping

Before you can decide which Disney ticket to buy, you must first answer the following questions:

  1. How many days of your vacation will be spent inside the parks?
  2. Will you spend most of your time in one particular park or visit all four?
  3. Will you be moving from park to park in the same day?
  4. Do you plan on visiting the water parks?
  5. Will you be visiting the nightclubs at Pleasure Island and or the interactive indoor theme park at Disneyquest?

Once you have the answers to these questions, you are ready to hunt for the right Disney tickets for your vacation. Don't be hasty with this decision, as picking the wrong Disney Tickets can mean making an expensive mistake.

Where Can I Buy My Disney Tickets

Disney tickets can be purchased from a number of places, direct from Disney either in advance, at the gate, or if staying at a Disney resort from the front desk. Many large off site hotels also have Disney ticket desks.

Another source to look at are ticket brokers but be sure you only use an authorized ticket broker. I recommend Maple Leaf Tickets , an old established authorized Orlando ticket broker, or Viator.com who specialize in worldwide attraction,tour,theme park,and theater tickets.

WARNING: Do not buy old tickets with unused days from anyone! There are many places in Orlando that specialize in buying and selling discount Disney tickets with unused days. BE WARNED: There is no way of telling how many, if any, days remain valid until you run the tickets through a park turnstile scanner.

Disney are also now using finger scans to match people with tickets, so even if the discount Disney tickets you buy have valid days left on them, they have been scanned and used by someone else and they might not work for you. Remember if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

How Do I Find Discount Disney Tickets


Advance Tickets

Purchasing Disney tickets in advance will usually always save you money. This can be done by ordering direct from Disney who discount most advance purchase tickets, as long as they have at least one plus option.

Ticket Brokers

The cheapest option is to buy discount Disney tickets from an authorized ticket broker such as Maple Leaf Tickets Generally speaking, ticket brokers will always save you money over buying direct from Disney with the exception of one and two day passes which are never discounted and always cheaper when purchased through Disney.

ebay

If you are buying multiple day tickets, check
ebay.It can be a great source of discount Disney tickets.

Many times people have to change their travel plans at short notice and need to sell their tickets. For this reason it is sometimes possible to find tickets on ebay at prices unobtainable anywhere else.

Warning:Before bidding you must know the full retail value of the tickets you wish to bid for and any shipping costs.This will prevent you from overbidding.

There is always an element of risk involved when buying from someone you don't know. For this reason I have made it a rule only to bid if the owner of the tickets has an E-Bay rating of 99 or above.

Only bid on new tickets and never bid on any used ticket with unused days! This is for two reasons 1. There is no way of knowing if the ticket is good without running it through a Disney ticket scanner. 2. Disney now takes a finger scan when you enter the parks so if you have a used ticket it will have been scanned for someone else's fingers and may not work for you.
If you follow these rules, ebay can net some great bargains. I have used it successfully several times and saved a substantial amount over gate prices. To search for or to bid on tickets on ebay click here. If you aren't already a member of ebay, you will have to sign up before making a bid.This only takes a moment and is absolutely free.

Timeshare Presentations

If you are looking for a really cheap way to vacation and are prepared to give up a half day of your time check ebay for heavily discounted vacation packages which include a mandatory timeshare presentation. These are especially valuable if you are going to to Disney World or Orlando as they will generally include free theme park tickets as well as accommodations.
They are terrific deals you won't find the kind of prices they offer anywhere else. Your only obligation is to attend a two to three hour sales presentation. If you are not interested in buying a timeshare property don't worry, there is absolutely no way they can make you buy, they will usually make you up to three offers each a little cheaper, all you have to do is politely keep saying no. Having been a timeshare salesman I can tell you that more people say no than yes. If you don't mind sitting through a three to four hour sales pitch ( they will tell you 60 to 90 minutes but it is always much longer), or have an interest in buying a timeshare, they are well worth attending..click here to check for deals on ebay

If you are not interested in attending a sales presentation, watch out for very cheap vacation offers on the internet that include Disney or other theme park tickets. Read the small print carefully. Somewhere you will probably find words like, vacation ownership (another term for timeshare) and take a tour of our beautiful resort. These are red flags, read on with caution. What these words usually mean is that you will have to attend a sales presentation and if you don't you will have to pay a substantial penalty.

Please understand I believe vacation ownership can be a very cost effective and fun way of vacationing. But I also believe that before you book a vacation that includes a sales presentation, you should understand what you will be letting yourself in for.

Florida Residents Discounts

Disney like to encourage those of us lucky enough to live in the great state of Florida to visit their parks regularly so to entice us in, they offer discounts on most theme park tickets and on annual passes. These discounts can be substantial.

Florida residents also have access to a seasonal annual pass which has certain blackout dates but is much cheaper than the regular annual pass. Also available to Florida residents is a special annual pass which allows access only to Epcot and only after 4PM. This is a bargain if you live close enough to Disneyworld to take advantage of it.

Florida residents should only buy direct from Disney as they receive substantial discounts that ticket brokers can't match.

To qualify for Florida resident discounts, you must be able to prove residency in the state. Acceptable forms of ID are a valid Florida drivers license, Florida State ID card with Florida address, voters registration along with photo ID, student ID from a Florida college, Florida based military ID.

U.K. and European Special Discounts

U.K and European visitors should check Disney's International website for special deals not available in the U.S.A. But as the exchange rate is so favorable especially to the U.K. pound, it may still be more advantageous to buy from an U.S. based authorized ticket broker.
