    Default When should I get my park tickets advice anyone?

    I don't know if this is the correct section if not I apologize in advance. Anyway, I just wanted to ask advice. I'm going to the Kingdom in July and I haven't bought my tickets yet, I'm going to get a park hopper pass. I am not staying at a resort and I know its preferential to book a couple months in advance if you want a resort, so is it going to be easy for me to get a park hopper pass say in June? They don't sell out of that kind of stuff do they? Maybe this is a dumb question but I thought I'd ask.

    You can buy park hoppers at the gates - it's very easy and there's no need to buy in advance.

    You'll be fine. If it's just passes, you can get them the day you get there, so there's no real rush. It would be more convenient to get them ahead of time, so if you go that route (which it looks like you are), all you have to worry about is ordering far enough in advance so the tickets arrive before you leave.

    We used Official Ticket Center (an Intercot sponsor) last trip and it worked great!! Just click on 'buy theme park/attraction tickets' to the left. They give you a discount and you can get them before you even leave home. Since you're going a busy time of year, that will be one less line you'll need to wait in when you're ready to get to the magic. Have a great trip!

    Default buy now

    I recommend buying your tickets now. They are cheaper if you get them ahead of time, and I always do it as soon as my plans are made (and before Disney decides to raise prices again). We always get ours online. Shop around.

    Default Try Ebay

    Shop around, beause there are many deals out there. Paying at the gate is always more expensive,a nd if the InTERCOT link can give you a deal, use it! ALSO, try EBAY. They have passes for sale, and you may luck out and get a deal.

    I would NOT recommend buying tickets through Ebay. Most people sell tickets that are expired and/or fake.

    Sign up for a news letter through mousesavers. You'll get a huge discount for WDW tickets through a special link they have from the undercovertourist. We bought our tickets and they were cheap!!!

    Sure you can buy them there,BUT....if your a member of AAA, they have some really good deals on them and you can save money..plus if you are driving you can get a special parking pass that allows you to park right next to the gates...CHECK IT OUT!

    I'm a AAA member and the last time I checked they offered substantial discounts on lodging at WDW but no discount on park admission media at all.

    Is this a recent change?

    Stay away from Ebay. You don't know what you're getting. Stick with a reputable vendor or wait until you get to the World

    I would definitely advice getting your tickets early...that way when you get there, you are ready to go and don't have to stand in line to get them. Also, there are websites that where you can get your tickets discounted or even get some free days. If you pm me, I will give you the website of the company we are using. We are getting a 7-day MYW + hopping for the the price of a 4-day MYW = hopping

    I agree. It's almost always cheaper to buy them ahead of time. This goes for any theme park.

    Quite recently there has been a lot of attention placed on these eBay scams.

    A quick scan of their site shows that they do offer discounted packages that include discounts on theme park tickets.
