Wanting to put a deposit on tickets for this year but haven't booked holiday yet! Any advice?

I'd like to secure tickets before the sale price ends but not sure who is cheapest and accepts deposit payment.

Any tips?

Thanks x

attraction tickets direct are always in the mix for best price, and they let you buy now pay later for £10 deposit per person.

I think the three that are about the cheapest are, floridaescapes.com, orlandoattractiontickets.com, orlandoattractions.com.

Sorry to jump in, but I am in the same position...

Does anyone have any idea, what the price rise is likely to be - trying to work out whether it may be worth risking £40 deposit?

Thanks

Currently, the 14 day Disney Ultimate tickets for 2017 are on offer and have 25% discount. That offer will end on 29th March (i.e. just over a week from now).

The 14 day tickets are currently around £299 and will go up to £399 at the end of March. And then will rise to £419 at the end of July.

So the price rise is approximately £100 per person.

This only applies to 7 day and 14 day Disney Ultimate tickets for this year. It doesn't apply to next years tickets nor to Universal/Seaworld tickets at all. They may also change price.

Sorry if this sounds a bit dense <blush> but if you put a £10/person deposit down on the tickets through say florida attractions etc, then is that all you owe if you cancel before the final payment is due..?
And, on the other hand, is it £50 to cancel a Disney package hotel/tickets? (With the advantage being that, if you can switch your booking to one that costs a bit more, then you wouldn't have to pay that charge either?) Thanks heaps

Someone else asked this on another thread, but only had 1 reply. Link below.

Another thing to consider is paying a cancellation fee upfront when you buy your tickets.

As mentioned in the link that Lyndon posted above, it depends on the Ts&Cs of the company. Some will apply a cancellation charge, which might be a percentage of the total cost or a set fee (eg. £25).

Personally, if I was going to Disney this year and wanted Ultimate tickets, I'd buy my Disney tickets, or at least put a deposit on them, now.

Totally agree with this for the Disney 14 day Ultmate tickets. It's not long before the offer ends.
