disneyworld park ticket puchases

do you have to buy them ahead of time or can you wait until you get there? Is there a price difference? What do you recomend?

Re: disneyworld park ticket puchases

I take it that you are staying off site? If so then parking is $14 a day. If you are going to more than one park you just retain your receipt. If you stay on site - parking at the parks is free, and free at the hotels unless you valet park.

When are you going? If you aren't going in the very near future you might want to consider going through mousesavers.com newsletter and get some savings and go through undercover tourist. Ticket prices just went up on the 4rd. Not sure if you would be able to get the old prices still on UT or if they are probably all sold out by now. Even if not they are a very small % off. I believe you can also order tickets through AAA but don't quote me on that (you can get them from AAA but just not sure if they are a deal where you order them or they have them at their travel offices - they do sell them online). We usually get our tickets from our package because we stay onsite and do a discount package. If you are going soon and don't have time to go through AAA or UT yes you can purchase them at the gate but they will be full price. There aren't really any significant discounts no matter where you get them.

Do you plan to do any sit down meals? Character meals? If so you should go and book ADR (advance dining reservations) if you are going within 180 window - as they book up very quickly and it can be hard to get the most popular ones. Depending on when you are going you can't really do walk ups.

If you are just doing counter service you are good.

Where are you saying? When are you going?

If you're staying offsite and just need tickets, you can order them from Undercover Tourist to save a few dollars. You CAN get tickets onsite, but why waste vacation time you don't have to? I like to buy in advance if only so my expenses are spread out.

If you're staying offsite, parking is $14 per day, but as LK said, you can save the receipt when park hopping.
