My wife and I would like to take the kids down to Disney early in the winter. The last time we went down we bought a 5 day pass which saved some money over daily passes but wasn't cheap.

Does anyone know some good sites to get discounted tickets to Disney. Normally those Corporate Discount sites that I have access to work for amusement parks but surprise surprise, Disney isn't on the list.

You MIGHT be able to get discounted tickets through AAA.

Other than that be very wary of anyone offering discounted tickets and never buy through ebay. There are many horror stories of people who bought discounted tix and when they get to the front gate find out they dont work, have no days left on them, etc....

Slight discount through AAA. Other than that, as mentioned, do not buy anyone's used tickets with unused days - adults tix have a biometric scanner, and once someone's fingerprint is associated with it, only that person can use the ticket. Disney recommends writing names or initials on the tickets so you don't hold up the line at the scanner.

Great point with the fingerprint scanner

As I remember there were plenty of vendors in the Orlando Area offering tickets. If you could wait till you get there you might be able to find a resonable deal.

Horrible idea. These are not vendors endorsed by Disney, even if they claim to be. This is where you can get screwed. They will sell tickets with no days left on them, or not as many days as promised. Also, as mentioned, there is an issue with the fingerprint scans.

I have heard undercovertourist.com is good and legit, but I have never used them so I can't speak firsthand.

Sorry can't help but my corporate discount does include Disney... shouldn't be "surprise surprise" it's not.

EDIT>> looks like it links to http://www.TicketsAtWork.com and we have a special # and code to use. Don't know how far you can get on your own.

That's right. There are NO vendors endorsed by Disney to re-sell tickets.
