Save $$ on Disney Tickets





by Female Abroad



Screw the Disney hotel, I just want to go to the park! While saving money on just tickets cna be difficult, it is not impossible. Here are my go to's:



Target Red Membership

Target sells Disney gift cards and with a Target Red membership you will save 10% on the actual gift cards. So if you price out the park ticket to be $100, head to target and buy a $100 gift card and use your Target Red membership which means you'll only be charged $90. Technically that means you saved $10 on your ticket! You can of course pay for your entire trip this way so you can end up saving 10% of your entire vacation if you use the gift cards.


Some people find tickets on eBay - buyer beware

usually you'll save 10 - 30% but due to the high risk, I do not suggest this

Disney is becoming wise to this so they are starting to not just finger print but also take photos for the person who is using the ticket. If someone is reselling a ticket you might not know until you get to the park.

Tickets also have an expiry date so you have to watch for that as well


Undercover Tourist

usually you'll save 10 - no risk


Orlando Fun Tickets

usually you'll save under 10% - no risk

the price you are quoted includes tax at the check out


Get Away Today

usually you'll save 1 to 2% - no risk

they are better to use if you package your ticket and hotel as they can usually knock some of the cost off of the hotel


Buy an Annual Pass

Depending on how long you are going for / if you are going multiple trips in a year, it might be worthwhile

2020 Annual Pass: U$ 952.11

2020 4 day park hopper ticket: U$ 453.41

so if you are going for a 10 day+ or at least 2 trips in a calendar year then it will save you money

you'll get a free PhotoPass ($169 savings) & 20% off select dining & merchandise so even if one person in your group gets it, it might be worth it


Age Out

Children are 9 and under, as soon as they hit 10 (and Disney does ask for birth dates) then they are charged at the adult rate
