HI we are off to Florida in March and was wondering whether best to buy in Orlando at the theme park gates or over here. We have 4 children so it is working out quite costly when the tickets are priced up over here. We are thinking that it might be cheaper to buy with dollars than pounds. Does anyone have any advice for us? Thankyou Cheryl
The link to park tickets above offers a very good exchange rate (better than you can get on the high street). You could take a chance and wait to see if the exchange rate improves but it would still be cheaper buying them from this site.

When were there at christmas the queues were very long to get day tickets.
We buy all of out tickets from above link as they cheap and it means you dont have to queue.

Yes - the queues can be very long (and slow!) at busy times - and there is nothing more frustrating than a long wait just to get inside a Park.

I would definitely buy from the site linked above.

I checked last year and it was definitely cheaper to buy from this site than at the gate (or anywhere else that I could find, come to that). I suppose you could hang on in the hope that the exchange rate works in your favour, but it's a real gamble, you could end up worse off.

I have just bought my Disney tickets from the above link and will probably get any others when we get out there as we do not know where else we will be going yet.

The cheapest tickets we have found anywhere are from the link above
Have a look for yourself on http://www.park-tickets.com/
The dearest place for tickets is definately at the gate.

Apart from anything, you could be very disappointed standing in line, in the heat, waiting to get tickets, when hundreds will arrive and excitedly rush past you AND the kids and pass through the turn styles, and into the "Magic"[msneek]The kids will not exactly enjoy that anymore than you!! I would have no other answer for you , than buy from the link above, while you have time to decide exactly what you want to buy at an excellent price, and then you are all set from the minute you arrive in the Transportation cars from the carpark at the WDW park [8D]Whoa!! The excitement:DCheaper at the gate? I don't think so[msnoo]?
You are definately better off purchasing them before you get there.

I would never purchase at the gate. Substantially more expensive than buying in the Uk no matter the exchange rate!

I bought a 3 day Disney with Hopper and Fun with no Expiration. When they arrived it seems Disney have upgraded their fun days on a 3day from 2 to 3 [clap] Quids In!!!

After doing lots of research I found this site to give the best deals, especially at the moment as the £ v $ is on the up again. It also saves time and you can get them all signed and photocopied before you get out there.

martin,
will (disney or universal) they issue you a replacement then or is it more for insurance purposes to claim back at home??
As a homeowner I thought would be able to get a better deal but believe me this site is way cheaper than anywhere else. Dont forget they include the sales tax in the price
