I have purchased tickets from Undercover Tourist and Tickets At Work.

Ticket At Work may only be available if your employer has registered with them. They offer mostly the same ticket deals as any other ticket broker. That said, check with your HR office to see if they have any discounts available.

I like Undercover Tourist because they offer free shipping within the 48 continental US states and allow refunds on unused tickets (eg. unwrapped, still in the original packaging, 5% restocking fee).

Another that gets heavy mention here is Maple Leaf Tickets.

There's not much savings regular tickets (eg. I saved $80 on three 10-day non-expire park hoppers from Undercover Tourist), but they all have 5-days-for-price-of-3 or 7-days-for-4 or variations of which is where one sees the real savings.

Is it up to date?

The ticket calculator says a 3-day adult park hopper "at the gate" is $303.

I'm looking at the DisneyWorld site and it says a 3-day adult park hopper including tax and standard shipping is $283. "Express" shipping takes it to $293. Does Disney charge more "at the gate" versus their online site?

The ticket calculator says a 3-day adult park hopper from Maple Leaf is $296.

I'm looking at the Maple Leaf checkout page and it says a 3-day adult park hopper is $274. With 6.95 shipping that takes it to $280.95.

I don't think you're comparing totally-equal tickets.

A 3-day Hopper *Non-Expiring* ticket is $303-and-change from Disney, both through the WDW website and at the gate.

The tickets you're looking at on the other sites most likely do not include No Expiration. (A 3-day Hopper that expires 14 days from first use is $279 from Disney)

If you're going to be using all 3 days on your trip, the No Expiration option is a waste of money.

Incidentally, I believe Disney's website doesn't show tax until the last step of the payment process, so they look less expensive in some cases, until you get to that point.

I purchased an adult 3 day park hopper w/3 days free from undercover tourist. I paid $275.00 with free shipping. I had them in my mailbox in about 4 days. I was very happy with the service and the quickness of the delivery of my ticket.
