Disney World Tickets
Disney World Tickets are a big ticket item. It's sad but true. I think Uncle Walt probably turns over in his grave every time Disney raises ticket prices. (Uncle Roy, on the other hand, grins from ear to ear.)

Annual Passes
Annual Passes are great for those that will be at Disney World more than once in a year, or will stay more than 10 days (the length of the longest Magic Your Way Ticket). A Disney World Annual Pass comes with some perks that you should check out if you're staying outside of Walt Disney World.

Disney Tickets are available from just about everyone. There was a time, and maybe you still can, where you could purchase them at Wal Mart.
All of us are looking for ticket deals or cheap tickets. This makes us open to scams. It's natural. We want a good deal. Tickets are expensive and getting more expensive all the time.
Dad gets a question about a ticket scam
Some of the scams are pretty easy to spot, like the one above, but some are innocent. In Dad's humble opinion (see what Dad thinks about IMHO) -
YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY DISNEY WORLD TICKETS ON EBAY OR CRAIGSLIST OR FROM A GUY IN A PARKING LOT.
Did you get that?
Where not to buy tickets
A little advice
The first thing to do when you buy Walt Disney Tickets is make a few copies of your receipt and the tickets. Take the copies on your vacation. Stick a copy in the backpack, a copy in a wallet, a copy with the tickets, a copy in your waistband...
You get the idea. Be sure you have a copy any time you enter a park. You never know when gremlins will demagnetize the magnetic strip on the back of the cards. You'll have a easier time at Guest Relations if you have a copy of the receipt.
(Oh, yeah, make sure you have the credit card you used to purchase the tickets with you too.)
Ask Dad
Dad gets lots of questions and he is glad to answer all of them. Some of the questions are about tickets. If you have any question about tickets to Walt Disney World, why not ask Dad. (He know everything.) Here are a couple of the questions Dad has answered about tickets.
