how long to buy tickets at the gate?

[doctor tigger]

Dear WDWMagic users,
Hi out there and hope that you're having a great weekend!

One question---It looks like we're going to have to buy our tickets at the gate the first day we're there (don't ask why, that's just the way it's going to work out given the party that we're going with.) How much time should we allow for this? We have an 8:15 priority seating at the Crystal Palace that first morning--how early does ticket sales open so that we can do this that day?

Thanks for the advice and help,

Doc Tig

PS---I love how creative all of you are---I really enjoy reading all the forums and seeing your artwork.

buy tickets

If you are staying on disney property than you can buy the tickets at you hotel the night before. I fond out that it is alot cheaper at the hotels than at the gate. but do not know what time they start to sell tickets at the gate

You can get them at any Disney Store. AAA has them at a slight discount also.

Alot of it depends on how busy the park is

I would HIGHLY recommend getting the tickets before you get to the park.

You don't want to miss that PS.


Waiting until the last minute is too stressful for my personality. You may be able to handle it.

You can also purchase tickets at Downtown Disney's Guest Relations building in the Marketplace.Thats were i always go the night before to get my passes (well not more since I bought an Annul Pass for the year).

There are many other places that you can get tickets besides for the gate at the theme park.

A Few Are...
Downtown Disney Guest Relations
Disney resort Guest Relations
Disney Store
AAA

If you have to buy at the theme park the Transportation and Ticket center (before MK) might be your best bet. But at 8 in the morning there might not be many windows open which means there may be long lines. You could always take a chance with going across the lagoon and trying MK guest relations...but that could also be crowded. I would definately try to get to the tickets in advance before getting to the park. It will save you a lot of time and will be very reassuring to you not having to worry about the PS.

Thanks, all you kind people on the WDWMagic forum,

Things have worked out great after all---the people that we're going with decided that it's a good idea to purchase their tickets ahead of time, and so we did so yesterday! YAY!:sohappy:

Thanks for all of the advice---I hope that it was helpful to other people, too.
