Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

Undercover Tourist through MouseSavers for regular and park hoppers but not APs. But there are several places you can purchase them without a worry about reliablity. TicketMania for one.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

We have purchased through the Disney store in the past and most recently have been buying directly through Disney directly. We have AP's, so we renew them on property.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

We have bought from Omar at Maple Leaf Tickets. We have also bought from Undercover Tourist through a link in the Mousesavers Newsletter--using the link gets you an even better price than going directly to the website. We have never had a problem with either and would recommend either one to anyone. In fact, I have recommended both to friends and family.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

Not to thread-jack, but how much can you save buying from Maple Leaf Tickets or Undercover Tourist?

I used Undercover Tourist last year for my Mother's tickets. They had a special 6 nights for the price of 4.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

With one exception, I've always gotten my tickets from WDW itself, either through e-tickets on line for special parties in the MK or regular passes from the brick and mortar ticket windows. My first annual pass was bought on line and redeemed at WDW and renewed in person at WDW.
There is only one time I got tickets elsewhere. One day we decided to go to Disney Quest as a stand alone and got our tickets through one of those tourist ticket operations in the Perkins on I Drive at Sand Lake. We actually had to pick them up at a different location, part of a gas station near WDW on 535. We saved a few dollars and had no problems with what we got, but
since that time, we've had park hoppers or APs exclusively through WDW or Disney Travel.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

Well I did a little internet research and this is what I found. I looked for a three day magic your way base ticket:
From Undercover Tourist it was---$214.95
From Maple Leaf Tickets ---------$216.00
From Disney -------------------- $203.00

So, it looks like buying from Disney is the way to go and you have the security of knowing that your tickets are legitimate.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

Ok, I can't get to the checkout portion on the Disney site. (my computer is having issues today) On Maple Leaf they charge a shipping fee and on Under Cover Tourist there is no fee or taxes. So, I think that it will all be about the same in the end. Remember it is about 7 dollars more at the gate if you do not preorder from Disney.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

Since I've stayed off-site twice, I have had to buy tickets my tickets separately. Both times I bought them directly from Disney. The first time I bought them on the Disney website and the second time I bought them from the World of Disney store in NYC.

Re: Where do you buy WDW tickets?

I am a faithful follwer of mousesavers.com and have used Mary's recommendations many times before becoming an AP holder. I point everyone to Ticketmania and Undercovertourist. They ARE cheaper than Disney- their prices include taxes, but Disney's don't. Sign up for the monthly newsletter for special offers.
