I am beginning research for a 2017 trip. I got my tickets last time from The Official Ticket Center at a reasonable price! I read on another Disney info site that Maple Leaf Tickets is even better! Has anyone used them before? What was your experience? Any ideas on other ticket outlets?

I have checked the following:
-The Official Ticket Center
-Undercover Tourist
-Hotwire
-Travelocity
-Disney
-other travel websites...
BUT I WANT TICKET OUTLETS ONLY! One that sells Park tickets with NO GIMMICS! I don't want to sit an hour and half and listen to a Timeshare deal that I won't buy into just to get a $25 or FREE Disney ticket! My time is worth more than that!

To be honest . . . you're planning a trip three years away. With MM+ going on, who knows what the ticket situation is going to look like in 2017. It's possible that some, if not all, of these places might be able to sell WDW park tickets. While I'm all for planning ahead, I think it's probably best if you wait a year, or two, before you start planning a trip to WDW three years from now. Not trying to be mean, there is just so much that can change that you'll essentially be wasting your time now. But to each there own.

Question, how much does one actually save by purchasing Disney tickets through one of these places? I'm a AAA member and I just remember looking at the AAA discount and it was only a couple of dollars off of what I would have paid at the ticket window at the MK. Surely these outlets can't save you more than AAA right?

QUIT YELLING AT US! :p


Undercover Tourist is the default discount ticket seller. They buy the tickets in bulk from Disney, so they get a nice chunk of savings, which they pass on to you.

Travelocity offers pretty tempting deals every so often but there are two main hangups: 1. to get the deal on the park tickets you have to buy a full package including hotel and airfare. 2. blackout dates.

Depends on the reseller. And yes, some can most definitely save you more than AAA. AAA discounts tend to vary from club to club, for instance the Northern New England branch currently has NO WDW ticket savings. But UT currently has a 6 day hopper with WP&M and No Expire, for $65 less than gate. But if you don't get the No Expire, it's only $21 less than gate. But even that $21 per person is enough to pay for a TS meal, so savings is savings.

Comparing resellers can be tough, some include tax and or shipping in their posted price, others don't. Make sure to include both tax and shipping when looking at prices.

I am heeding the warning of NOT planning until 2015ISH! But the reason why we are planning this far out is very simple and may be hard for some to understand. We are on disability and have limited cash to save for a day trip let alone a Disney trip. So we have to adjust and start planning much earlier than most that have a regular bi-monthly income! Buying tickets through the outlets DOES save you money if you are not staying on property. Some Good Neighbor hotels have room/ticket deals, like our does! I just basically wanted other avenues of tickets to add to my research to find which one has the best deal going at least right now! I do realize that the prices will change but this gives us a good starting point to begin saving!

THANKS to all who has offered advice and ideas!
