When planning your vacation to Disney World even the park
tickets can get complicated. Do you buy them as part of your Disney Package
while staying onsite? If staying offsite should you buy in advance or when you
get to the parks? At which point does an Annual Pass make sense? Let’s look at
each of these.
Buying park tickets as a part of your travel package always
make sense if you are staying onsite. The cost is reduced and you lock in the
rate once you buy your tickets. Annually Disney will increase the park ticket
costs, so the sooner you lock this in the better.
If staying offsite you have many options when buying park
tickets; you can buy online at the Disney World website, you can wait until you
get to Florida, you can buy from the Disney store, or you can buy from a
discount vendor. Typically I recommend Undercover Tourist for discount tickets
over buying direct. There are savings to buying from them and you get the same
ticket options as buying direct from Disney. One ticket option you should think
of the No Expiration tickets. As I explained, Disney does raise the price of
tickets every year – this option lets you buy the tickets and use them for your
trip, and then any remaining days can be used for a future Disney vacation. Get
these tickets now with no expiration as the rumor is that they will be
discontinued.
At which point does an Annual Pass make sense? The math
works out to visiting the parks for more than 10 days within a year. I try to
make this work by scheduling multiple trips within a year where the tickets
expire right after our last trip.
Buying the annual pass also has some perks which make it
worth it to us. This generally these would be merchandise discounts (who
doesn’t leave some money at Disney) or buying the Tables in Wonderland card (a
Dining Discount Card).
There
are multiple levels of Annual Passes at Disney World and I don’t recommend the
Deluxe Annual Pass unless you will be visiting the Water parks or Disney Quest.
