We offer everyday savings, which are clearly listed on our Disney World ticket page, and they toadally add up! A family of four could save over $300 on four days at Walt Disney World by purchasing tickets through us. That's a whole lot of green, even for us frogs! But there are even more ways to save on Disney World tickets if you follow our trusted tips.
We'll hop into the specifics below, but here is a summary of the best ways to save on Disney World tickets.

Before we hop into more ways to save on Disney World tickets, let's talk more generally about visiting the parks right now and why it's important to buy tickets early. We probably don't have to tell you that it's been a little different the past couple of years. You need a Disney Park Pass reservation in order to visit the parks now through Jan. 18, 2024. However, you cannot make your Disney Park Pass reservation without your tickets. For this reason, we highly recommend you purchase your tickets and book your reservation as soon as you know you are visiting. This is especially important if you are visiting during traditionally busier times, such as this spring or summer or over the holidays. We cannot stress this enough. As we frogs like to say around here, "the early frog gets the fly!"

Where to Buy the Cheapest Disney World Tickets
It's very important to purchase through an authorized seller like Undercover Tourist. This is important because when you need support, Disney will only work directly with authorized sellers. But there are only a handful of legitimate third-party sellers such as Undercover Tourist. Many third-party sellers, including those found on eBay and Craigslist, are often scams. Selling partially used tickets is illegal. Disney uses fingerprinting to assign tickets, so when a person uses a Disney theme park ticket once, admission is tied to that person. The ticket cannot be transferred to anyone else. If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Tips to Save on Disney Theme Park Tickets
Purchase your tickets online in advance through Undercover Tourist.
This should go without saying, but buy your tickets online and in advance. If you can, try to avoid buying tickets at the gate, where prices are often the highest (plus it just takes extra time).
Bundle your Disney World vacation and save even more through Undercover Tourist.
You can often save up to 30% off your Disney World vacation when you bundle your hotel stay, tickets and rental car. Keep an eye out for special hotel offers to deepen your savings!
Look for limited-time and extra-day FREE promos.
Typically, Undercover Tourist offers limited-time discounts and extra day free promos, so you can stretch out the fun for less cost.
Stay longer.
If you're looking for the biggest per-day savings, look for the seven-, eight-, nine- and 10-day tickets. A 10-Day Disney Theme Park Base Ticket currently runs for $622.79 through Undercover Tourist, which works out to $62 a day, versus a 1-Day Disney Theme Park Base Ticket, which starts at $107.86.
Stick with one park per day.
Park Hoppers are a popular option because they allow guests to hop among the parks on any given day. While they offer the most flexibility, they also come with a much bigger price tag. And you can't hop for just a day on a multi-day ticket. You must either hop or not. With so much to do around the resort, it's easier than ever to fill your day without having to hop from park to park.
Check your start date.
Disney requires you to pick a start date for your visit to the theme parks and to make a park reservation. If you're looking for the cheapest Disney tickets, check our calendar to see the rates by date (which you can see on our availability calendar). And keep in mind that start-date prices fluctuate the most on one-day tickets. Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays often see higher prices. January, February and September historically offer the cheapest prices on Disney tickets.
Consider whether you want to visit the parks on arrival and departure days.
While dropping the luggage and heading straight to the parks sounds like the perfect way to kick off your party, depending on when you arrive or depart, it can actually mean less bang for your buck. We often kick off our first day at the pool in the afternoon and then head to Disney Springs for dinner. Likewise, we often spend our last day at Disney Springs, because inevitably we're looking for that last souvenir we have yet purchased. (And Disney Springs just keeps expanding, including its newest offerings for you sweet tooths — Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, Gideon's Bakehouse and the M&Ms Store!)
Take your kids before they turn 3.
Children under age 3 are free, so many parents will plan visits before that big day.
Consider special event and After Hours tickets.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are two of the most popular events at Disney World. They are also separately ticketed events. While the parties typically don't start until later in the evening, guests with tickets usually can enter Magic Kingdom starting at 4 p.m. Disney After Hours events also give guests access to the parks past closing time, meaning shorter wait times and less crowds.
Take advantage of Florida resident tickets.
Florida residents can save even more than out-of-state visitors with Florida resident tickets. Additionally, a couple of times a year Disney will offer additional promos for Florida residents that will allow them to save even more. Discounts on one- and two-day tickets are rare. If you find these, snag them while you can!
See if you qualify for extra discounts.
If you're a veteran or active duty service member, you can often buy discount Disney World tickets at the nearest base.
Make sure you're including tax.
When comparing Undercover Tourist against official prices, make sure you're including the cost with tax so that you have the full picture.
While a few dollars here and there don't always sound like big savings, they can and do add up! For those of you hoping to make your Disney vacation come true, this is often the best way to do it.
