When planning a Disney vacation, the attraction tickets can cost as much as the lodging, dining and transportation. Finding cheap Disney tickets keeps those costs down. Whether traveling to Walt Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California, discount tickets ensure enjoyment of the Disney rides and all the entertainment the parks offer for budget-minded travelers.
Check the regular gate prices of the Disney tickets online before making lodging reservations and other travel plans. All current Disney ticket prices are found on the respective park or attraction page on the Disney website (Disney.go.com).
Book a room and attraction package at a Disney resort. Because Disney resorts offer accommodations in price categories ranging from value to deluxe, and because all components of the package are discounted when purchasing a package, including theme park tickets, a visit including a Disney hotel can cost less overall than a stay at a comparable hotel off property.
Take your military or Department of Defense identification to receive a discount on either vacation packages or attraction tickets. Disney ticket counters and Shades of Green, the official Armed Forces Recreation Center on Walt Disney World property in Central Florida, both sell military discount passes.
Research independent ticket wholesalers such as AAA. Although not available through Disney itself, some sellers offer ticket prices cheaper than you can get at Disney. Some wholesalers require membership to purchase the discounted tickets.
Purchase as many days and options on your Disney ticket as your cash flow will allow, then add the "No Expiration Date" option to the ticket if you expect to take future vacations at Disney. Since longer tickets cost less per day than shorter ones, stretching the tickets you buy at today's prices over the course of several vacations decreases the price per day and beats the inflation that raises ticket prices at least annually.
Buy tickets as a Florida or California resident. Residents of the states containing Disney parks receive discounts on passes and other perks.
