Before purchasing Walt Disney World tickets, you should consider all the options available to you. For example, you should first consider whether you plan to stay at a Walt Disney World resort or one of the hotels near Disney World.

There are different benefits to each decision. For example, while you might save a few bucks by staying close, you may need to rent a car or pay for parking. Next, you need to consider whether or not you want to buy tickets to one park, like Disney Animal Kingdom, or if you want a combo package to experience it all. Is this a quick stopover or a Disney vacation?

If you’re planning a quick tour of Disney World Orlando and it’s not the only base for your trip, there are a few ways to save on day tickets. For some, $71 is small potatoes for a full day of fun. However, when you add in meals, parking, and hotel accommodations, that one day can be expensive.

“Discount Theme Park Vacations” is currently offering two one-day tickets to Disney for $25! However, you will need to stay at one of the hotels near Disney World that the site partners with. The good news is that these hotels are value conscious and if you don’t already have a spot reserved, this will be the least expensive way to see Disney for the day.

On the other hand, if you’re planning a Disney vacation, you’ll want to find a package that includes Walt Disney World tickets. Many travelers are surprised to find that the official Walt Disney World Orlando website has plenty of super-affordable deals. If you want to look elsewhere, travel sites like Expedia or Orbitz also offer last-minute deals.

A sample Expedia trip would be a 4-night air/hotel package for two, departing from New York and staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, for $353. Orbitz is offering a $150 discount on Disney vacation packages of more than 5 nights, for a stay at a Walt Disney World resort.

When looking for Walt Disney tickets, you should be wary of timeshare solicitation offers that offer free or discounted park admission. While there’s no mandate that you have to buy something, the presentation is always longer than a few hours, and you’ll encounter several persuasive salespeople who will pressure you to buy, buy, buy.

Timeshares are a great deal if you and your family plan to travel every year and if you are the type of family that needs 5-star accommodations. If you’re considering vacation ownership, you can always look to Disney Vacation Club, with memberships starting at $16,640, plus closing costs and a small annual fee. That way, you’ll at least be entitled to special Disney privileges, discounts, and trips out of the country with one of Disney’s many partners.
