    I was told on booking it was free at dtd.....I have also got my voucher and it doesn't mention any payment. I've had my tickets since Sat.

    New dilemma, I applied for a caxtonfx card to load my money on at a pref $ rate. I emailed today to say I haven't yet received it, theres a delay! My dilemma now is to A.apply for a new card and hope it arrives in time. B. Order $ at the higher rate exchange (looking at Crown currency) C. Just use my debit card

    Sorry if this has been asked before ( yes, I have done a search ! ), do Disney have any promo codes for Disney tickets ?

    If so, where do you get them from ??

    They must do, as in the box on their website, just before you pay it says ' do you have a promo code ? ' or words to that effect.

    Cheers.

    Hi there

    I'm not aware of Disney doing promo codes for tickets, but they do occasionally have promo codes for hotel rooms* and this may be why there is a box there.


    Happy to be wrong though :)

    Cheers

    Thanks for your reply Karen, I am thinking you are correct BUT... this is what it says on Disneys website :

    Your Walt Disney World holiday itinerary is displayed below

    I've just checked with VH and they insist the Downtown Disney check-in for return flights IS operating as normal (and still free to VH customers), so it sounds like you just got a bit a clueless agent on the line!


    Very odd that, I thought the same so I rang them back straight after and was told the same thing. WIthout for the want of belittling VA/VH, their overseas call centres are awful. The amount of staff I've spoken to that simply don't give a toss or have problems understanding what you're saying..

    I do not think you are wrong Karen. They rarely offer discount codes, if you want to check the best price then you cna use the https://www.touringplans.com ticket checker and I am told this is being upgraded to include UK tickets.

    I bought two one day passes from AAA for mu folks when we were over at Easter and got 15 bucks off but I had to show my Florida ID when I collected them.

    For the best price on buying tickets before you leave, you're usually best off checking out the big UK ticket brokers like Attraction Tickets Direct, Theme Park Tickets Direct and Orlando Ticket Deals. The Ultimate Ticket isn't for sale in the US, for example, hence the choice is more aimed at UK visitors who go for 2 or even 3 weeks. But, as already noted, there are no 'discount codes' for tickets as such, although Disney is keen to promote its free dining plan at quieter times of the year.

    If you have a Voucher for park tickets (as opposed to the actual tickets themselves, which will have a black credit-card type bar on the back), you will need to exchange them for the actual tickets at any park ticket booth or Guest services outlet (like at Downtown Disney).

    .

    Soon these ticket agents will be added to the Touring Plans least expensive ticket checker at https://www.touringplans.com so you will be able to search the best current deals from one place which will help. Also Attraction Tickets Direct mentioed by Simon do offer a price match and also sponsor the Disney Brit podcast (have you download episode 17 yet :) ) so have to reconmend them LOL

    Yes, or any of the ticket booths at the main parks :)

    Have fun!
