what is the best legal way to get cheap tickets?

[TwilightZone]

I'm curious to find out so for future trips we don't have to pay as much as you would normally do. sorry if this is already a thread.

Several credit unions offer discounts which could be quite a saving when buying multiple tickets.

This site offers discounts thru several members

It varies, in the past you could sometimes get a discount from AAA or even Costco.... Some companies have been known to have discounted tickets available for employees. I wouldn't start looking for discount tickets until I was maybe 9 months out of when I was going to go.... otherwise you run the risk of thinking you have a source only to find that it doesn't have them when you are actually ready to buy them. In general Disneyland tickets don't seem to be as prone to being discounted as they used to. You'll even find that the special ticket events like Mickey's Halloween are pretty much 20 or 30 dollars more per ticket than if you were to go to WDW which should give you an indication that Disneyland tickets are more a sellers market than a buyers market.

Find an active duty military buddy and have them go with you. 3 day hopper is literally 50% off regular price.
We were stationed in San Diego for 5 years and we ditched the AP and went with buying military salute tickets. sooo much cheaper. Disney got wise though and required non-military ticket holders to be accompanied by the military member.

Get a Disney credit card, charge everything to it that you'd normally pay with cash or a debit card, and then pay it off monthly. You'll accrue points that can be used on anything Disney, including theme park tickets.

Move to Florida and get a resident rate.

So, I just got a membership to lmtclub and went to check out current rates and they're almost the same as buying them through Disney. I'm seeing $368 for a 5 day (1 Park per Day) ticket, which is $370 on the Disney site. Am I missing something? Did they stop having good deals?

Assuming you work and sell Disney Destinations, they check your productivity and agent credentials...

Sorry I havne't logged on to this site in a while and missed your post. They still have their old prices. Did you make sure you logged in before checking the prices (because that is the only way to see the discount)? I just checked and they still have the old prices and haven't changed after today's price hike. Give the following link a shot:
