WHERE TO PURCHASE MAGIC YOUR WAY TICKETS
YOU CAN BUY YOUR ADMISSION PASSES
on arrival at Walt Disney World or buy them
in advance. Passes are available at Walt Disney World resorts and theme parks,
at some non-Disney hotels and shopping centers, and through independent ticket
brokers. Because Disney admissions are only marginally discounted in the Walt Dis-
ney World-Orlando area, the chief reason for you to buy from an independent broker
isconvenience. Offersoffree orheavily discounted tickets abound,butthey generally
require you to attend a time-share sales presentation.
Magic Your Way tickets are available at Disney Stores and at
disneyworld.com
If you're trying to keep costs to an absolute minimum, consider using an online
ticket wholesaler, such as the
Official Ticket Center, Undercover Tourist, Kissim-
mee Guest Services
, or
Maple Leaf Tickets
, especially for trips with five or more
days in the parks. All tickets sold are brand-new, and the savings can range from $3 to
more than $81, depending on the ticket and options chosen. If any options don't make
sense for your specific vacation plans, the representatives will tell you so.
All four companies offer discount tickets for almost all Central Florida attrac-
tions, including Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, and Cirque du Soleil. Discounts for
the major theme parks range from about 6% to 12%; tickets for other attractions
are more deeply discounted. The
