And whilst there are a million and one other exciting places to visit and explore on your central Florida vacation, these parks are without doubt the biggest draw for most tourists. Well, who could resist Mickey Mouse?

But with such a vast choice and diversity of attractions comes another problem for the holidaying guest ~ which tickets to buy and where to get them from?

Whilst the majority of guests simply turn up at the entrance of the theme park they wish to visit and buy tickets at the gate, there are other options that could save huge amounts of money, and in addition, save you hours of standing in line at the ticket window, waiting to get served.

Guests travelling on a “package tour" will often have park tickets included in their overall holiday costs, but on closer inspection, this is not always the cheapest option. Of course, upon arrival in the Orlando / Kissimmee area, you will be inundated with offers of cheap park tickets almost everywhere you turn, but beware, these are not what they seem, and often involve having to agree to what is effectively a hard sell time share presentation before you receive your supposedly “cheap" tickets.

Without doubt, reputable on line ticket vendors are rapidly becoming the way to safely and securely purchase your tickets prior to arrival, and their extremely detailed yet user friendly web site information makes working out your ticketing options a breeze.

With such companies there is no hard sell from time-consuming timeshare presentations, just genuine theme park and attraction tickets, with a number of delivery options, as opposed to vouchers often supplied by some vendors. This means that you can simply enter the theme park of your choice as soon as you arrive, so you don’t have to waste valuable “fun" time standing in line to exchange your vouchers.

Bottom line… there are excellent on line ticketing options out there that will certainly save you money, so don’t be so quick to accept your travel agent’s word that their ticket prices can’t be beaten. I for one know differently...
