Where can I find discounts on Disney and Universal tickets?

Tickets for Universal Studios & Disney in Orlando FL?

• Im looking for inexpensive tickets for Universal Studios. Im staying at least 4 or 5 days. I have seen crazy prices like $200 or more. I just want to stay at an inexpensive hotel and get some tickets that are decently priced. And my friend has never been to Disney World so I want to find tickets for that too. If any body can find me some cheap tickets for Disney and Universal I would be very happy. Im a college student. Is there any way college students can get discounts on tickets? Thanks so much.

• Answer:

  As far as hotels, the least expensive ones are going to be in the 192 area. Just be sure to read reviews so you know what you are getting into ahead of time. Not all of the hotels in the area are very good to stay in, but they will be the least expensive. For a little more per night you could stay onsight at Disney and know what you are getting. The best thing to do with Universal, usaully, is to just go to their site to order the tickets. They will usually offer a promotion for the tickets on there and it is the best place to look. Other than that the only they I can think of is doing a time share tour. But just remember it takes a good part of one day to complete the tour. They will try to hassel you into buying it, so don't think you just sit for an hour and they give you the tickets. It is a much longer process. Also, be careful with online sites selling them cheaper. You may end up receiving expired tickets, non-transferrable tickets, used tickets or you may never receive the tickets. It is best to buy the tickets once from a reliable source than having to buy them again if you buy from a bad source. Disney prices really aren't that bad for what you all get. I'd get them straight through Disney or your travel agent. This is really the safest way to go. If you buy from eBay or other online discounters you may get there and find out that the ticket was expired, has no days or was non-transferrable. So the money you save will only cause more headaches and you will end up spending more than if you bought them from Disney. Trust me, this happens a lot more than it should. The tickets this year are very inexpensive and will lower in price if you buy the longer pass, it can average down to $30 a day for adults. I always think it is safest to go to the source. You never know what you are getting if you save money and you wouldn't want to buy them twice. If you don't want to go very long, but still want to save some money, add on no expiration. Then, you can buy the ten day ticket and make it so it doesn't expire. Next year or ten years from now you can use them when you go back. You can also do a timeshare tour. They generally give free tickets for completing the tour. This will take a good bit of your day up. But if you really want to get the tickets cheap this would be a good way to go. Hope this helps
