Hi Ken,

Cheaper options for Disney?  There are, but there are always conditions.

If you know someone who lives in Florida, Florida residents can buy tickets at a discount - and then give them to you.  They have to have a Florida Driver's Licence or Florida Resident card, though for the purchase.

If you know someone who lives in Canada, Canadian residents can often buy Disney tickets with Canadian $ 'at par' - currently a 25% discount.

If you belong to AAA or AARP, there are discounts for those members.

Maybe somebody else can suggest other options.
