single day disney world tickets - discounts?

We'll be in Florida in February, and as usual we'd like to do a day at Disney, but it looks like their single-day ticket prices have gone up. I seem to remember paying about $70 or $75 for a single admission 2 years ago. Now it's $95!!

Are there any discount brokers or resellers for single day tickets? All I'm finding online are for multi-day tickets.

Lots of places to get tickets and many also sell fake tickets. My advice is to stay at a Disney hotel. It is typically same price but transportation is included. I stay at Animal Kingdom with my wife and kids and I am 90 miles away.....what does that tell you? If you are going to Kingdom for one day, please DO NOT waste it stating in line for parking. Disney properties get in early and bypass all the folks trying to save $30!!

We're going down in January. If I understand correctly, if you stay at Disney property you get to go to the head of the line??

We're not staying the night, just a day trip. Already priced it out, regular admission tickets for the family is cheaper than combining with a room ($400 vs about $500).

Yep. Check the hotel first. The example I gave with Animal Kindom has boats that run you right to the entrance. Simple perfect.

You can also go to area with cabins and camping out.

If you do ever make a longer stay as a guest in one of Disney's hotels, you and your party get in up to an hour early or stay up to 3 hours later at the end of the day, which means the really popular attractions with long lines are freed up from the big crowds. Also you ride Disney's transportation system if you want (though we have found sometimes using your own car is significantly faster than the buses out from the hotels to the park). I'm sure there are other perks as well. Their hotels are at all different price points and cater to different types of guests. If you fly into Orlando, you ride their bus in to your hotel, included in the price (check on that to be sure) Nice perk. We stayed at Ft Wilderness once (camper resort) and you get around by boat over to the monorail. Kids loved that!

Yeah, I'm very familiar with longer term stays - we've done several vacations there. Just looking for tips on cheaper single day tickets.

They have lots of deals for residents unfortunately for you, I have not seen too much in the way of single day offers.

Best of luck and enjoy your trip!
