Is there a 'best time' to buy park tickets?

[angel_eyes]

Hi! For my last trip I let excitement get the better of me and simply booked all my tickets at the earliest possible opportunity.
I'm trying to be little cannier this time around and wondered if the theme parks (directly or via third party ticket sites) ever have sales on their ticket prices and when these might be? I'm currently researching for a June 2020 trip. DS will be 11 by then so I'm expecting I will have to pay adult prices for him too. Thanks.

I got mine from Floridatix last year. They often have sales around bank holidays and black Friday.

If you are thinking of discovery cove, sea world etc they have a sale on for 2020 tickets now that ends at the end of april. I doubt they will be cheaper after end of april.

Sales aplenty in the Orlando tickets industry although I find there's so much hype about Black Friday/Boxing Day that the sales themselves can be a little underwhelming!

I got an email today about a weekend sale for Orlando Ticket Deals which looked pretty good:

I always book wth a deposit when I see a price I’m happy with , it locks the price as well . Ive always saved this way from the annual increases .

That's a good idea to beat increases. Thanks everyone.

The prices vary slightly between the various companies and likewise the freebies so like everything just a question of keeping an eye on the offers and here on the dibb.

For example at the moment there are few universal offers if you don't want the 14 day UK tickets and Attraction Tickets Direct are offering free UK Theme Park Ticket when you book certain packages. Also sometimes offers pop up for reduced entry to Wild FLorida, Boggy Creek or similar with purchase of Universal and DIsney tickets. Once I book my flights I will just keep an eye on the different offers until one comes up that suits but this year we will only be visiting Universal.

Hi, is there anywhere that we can book DC tickets at now and reserve with a deposit that you're aware of? Can't afford the £1200 for the 6 of us right now but can't help feeling that £200 each for the ultimate tickets in August is a bargain!

Attraction tickets direct let you book with a £25pp deposit. Plus you get their freebies. If buying 6 tickets split up your order to get the max freebies...

Only possible downside to ATD instead of direct is it might be harder to move your date if you needed to. I dont know that for a fact, just speculating.

I last bought my last DC package with orlandoattractiontickets and they have a deposit option.
