Disney Park Tickets

Question

Hello, I would like to suprise a friend and purchase Disney Park tickets. Does anyone know if I can purchase them from someone selling them at a reasonable discount price?

Thank you.

Answer

Good question — yes, you can sometimes find discounted Disney World tickets, but you need to be very careful. There are legitimate ways to save, and also risky / scammy places to avoid.

Here’s a detailed breakdown: what to watch out for, where to buy safely, and some common pitfalls.

Things to Be Careful About

There are a lot of fake ticket scams. Very low prices (especially from unknown sellers on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay) are a big red flag.
Disney tickets are non-transferable in many cases: once a ticket is linked to a person’s fingerprint or My Disney Experience account, used or partially used tickets sold by someone else may not work.
Even with resellers, discounts are often modest — not “half-price”.
Beware of timeshare presentations or overly “good to be true” offers. Some low-ticket-price deals require attending a sales pitch.

Safe / Reputable Places to Buy Discounted Disney Tickets

Undercover Tourist: One of the most trusted authorized third-party sellers. They buy tickets legitimately and resell them, and they’re authorized by Disney.
- They offer e-tickets that you can link to your My Disney Experience account.
- They even have a return policy on certain unused tickets.
Get Away Today: Another Disney-approved ticket agency. They often have slight discounts and package deals.
AAA: If you’re a AAA member, they sometimes offer discounted Disney tickets.

How to Be Smart About It

Stick to authorized sellers only — look for “authorized Disney ticket agent” language.
Buy tickets well in advance so you can link them to your Disney account and make park reservations as needed.
Read the fine print carefully: check for blackout dates, refund policies, and whether the ticket is for a specific number of days or has limitations.
Compare the “all in” cost: ticket price + tax + any fees. Sometimes “discount” sites add on big service fees.
If someone’s offering a huge discount on tickets, especially for 1- or 2-day entry, be very skeptical — that’s often where scams hide.

Bottom Line / Recommendation

Yes, you *can* buy cheaper Disney World tickets, but only safely from authorized resellers. Undercover Tourist is one of the most trusted. Avoid random individuals or “too good to be true” offers. If you're unsure, spending a little more for peace of mind (by getting tickets directly from Disney or a well-known trusted seller) is often worth it.
