Disney Park tickets ???

Hi Ladies,

I was researching on how/where to purchase disney park tickets. I found that "Magic your way tickets" is the way to go once you decide how many days we wanna visit the parks.
Are the tickets cheaper when you book online before travelling or the price is the same once we get to the park entrance ?

My sister's family would want to visit the 1 water park too ? Should we just add the water park option?

I guess Universal and Sea world tickets we have to buy at the entrance unless there is some corporate discount at my office.

Thanks
Seema

I am not totally sure, but I think tickets at the gate are the same as they are if you book them as a part of the package with your room.

Hi I did extensive research on tickets because I'm a cheap yankee! haha.

I am sure if you are staying at a Disney resort and bought through Disney there might be packages with cheaper ticket options. But if you did not, I found the best prices for the Magic Your Way w/ Park Hopper and 14 day expiration on Maple Leaf Tickets. They are an authorized dealer and were recommended on allears.net. Alot of the online ticket brokers have lower looking prices, but they do not include tax! So make sure of what you are actually getting before you buy!

I also bought my universal tickets from them. I think there might have been another broker that was like $1 cheaper but then I would have had to pay shipping twice, so it made no sense. The Disney site itself was more expensive than what I got.
Also if you are an auto club member or a member of a wholesale club, check if they have deals. AAA does but theirs weren't more expensive slightly then what I got.

If you don't have a package with tickets, everything I have read says Do Not buy at the gate. It costs more and it takes up time.

Sea World had a deal going on for a 1 day ticket on their website. You get the adult ticket for the price of a child's ticket. They consider an adult over 9. I think it's still going on but it's only up until a certain travel date. And it is an e-ticket, they don't mail it to you, you have to have a printer.

I'm sure the people on here who have more expertise will have more to tell you but this is just my two cents.
