AAA and CAA Discounted Disney World Tickets(Back to top)
AAA and CAA (Canadian Automobile Association) discounts depend primarily on which regional club you belong. To determine which type of discount or bonus your regional club offers, contact the club office. They are usually very helpful, and the information is readily available.
The clubs located in the same geographical area as Disney World will be the most likely to carry good Disney World discounts. If you are not a member of the regional club, don’t worry, they usually honor any AAA member with the same discount. Tickets need only be purchased at the regional office that offers the discount. Auto Club South is the club most likely to have good discounts.
If you are not a member of that area club, you will need to purchase the tickets in person at one of their offices. Call beforehand to make sure they have tickets on hand. If you are a member, you can log in to your account and purchase them online. The tickets then come in the form of an email, which can take up to 3 days to arrive.

Periodically, Disney will offer annual passholders a “Bring a Friend” ticket offer. This year was from January-August. The dates have been similar in past years. Annual Passholders can purchase a 1-day park hopper ticket at a discounted rate for a friend. This year the price was $94.79. This ticket must be purchased at a ticket window at the park and must be used the same day it was purchased.
Civil Service and Government Discounts(Back to top)
If you are an employee of a branch of the government or are a Civil Service employee, it is likely there is a discount available to you. Often, these rates are near or the same as the rates or normal military members. Most of the time the tickets must be ordered from your HR department, but once they are in hand, it is rumored that any individual can use them.
Corporate Discounts(Back to top)
Many corporations offer discounted tickets to Disney World through their HR departments.
If you work for a company that has a special relationship with Disney, you could be in for a fantastic discount. Disney does business with many different companies, so the quick way to find out is to contact your HR department.

Travel Agency Tickets(Back to top)
Often, travel agencies will have discounted Disney tickets as a draw to use their service. When using these agencies, make sure you are not spending more on one of the other bundled items (air fare, insurance, hotel, etc.) to make up for the “low-priced” Disney World tickets. Always do a cost analysis, and make sure you pay attention to what is required to purchase the tickets (Read the fine print!). If you have spent time on this website and still find a better deal with specific travel agency with no suspicious caveats, then chances are you have done your homework.
A couple travel agencies that do a lot of Disney business are:
- Small World Vacations
- Undercover Tourist
University of Central Florida Ticket Discounts (Back to top)
One-day, one park ticket: Contact SGA Ticket Center for price, but they are deeply discounted. Students, faculty and staff at the University of Central Florida can purchase two tickets per 30-day period.
