About the Tickets

Disney World is what runs Orlando, so you can purchase the tickets absolutely anywhere.  International Drive is one of the big hubs of hotels/restaurants, if not the biggest, outside of the Disney grounds, so you will find tickets readily available anywhere there.

If you have the opportunity and the money, go to the Polynesian restaurant at the top of the Polynesian Hotel for dinner (not the lau (sp) - the restaurant - forget the name.)  The view is spectacular, and the food is absolutely wonderful, and lots of it, too!  All you can eat shrimp, beef, chicken, lamb, etc. cooked over spits Polynesian style........

Have fun.......

We are planning a trip to Orlando over spring break. Does anyone have experience with purchasing tickets on-line or purchasing them at the hotel travel desk, pros and cons of each? We went years ago before Internet and purchased everything when we got there and would like to do that again. Any suggestions?

$56 when we got there.  I'm very happy we waited!  This was at Disneyland-Anaheim.  The bad news is that they said the gaits would be closed by !0 a.m. or when the crowd reached 45,000, but that didn't happen.  The park was terribly crowed, and we heard "upwards of 65,000" from a cast member later that day.  Every ride had at least a 2-hour wait, and even Main Street was full of people - not just on the sidewalks, mind you, but the ENTIRE street from side-to-side! 

I priced them through Travelocity and on the airline's web pages and I got a better price direct from the airlines.  On NWA you can preregister on-line 24 hours before your flight leaves, so you just walk into the airport, drop your bags and head for the plane.  For the parks, we booked everything through AAA.  The price was about $100 less than booking direct with Disney on-line.  There are very few places to get cheap Disney tickets, don't waste a lot of time trying.  If you're staying on the Disney grounds, let me know and I've got TONS of tips for you.  It is a GREAT place to vacation.
