Advise: Disney attractions tickets - Good buy?

[Wannawin]

Any suggestions on where and how to get just the entry tickets to the Disneyland Orlando Florida at a decent price.
We will be traveling with 5 years old DS second week of Jan, 2014.

Thanks in advance!

Any other tips for Orlando, Florida, would be helpful too..
We have been to SeaWorld and Aquatica already and loved it.

Disney is Orlando is DisneyWORLD, DisneyLAND is in California.

We went in October, and bought our tickets locally at CAA, which also got us a 'diamond' parking pass, lets you park in a special lot. There aren't any really great discounts on Disney tickets that are legit that I've found in my research, but Uncover Tourist I think has some that are just a bit less. There are a lot of options on tickets - there's base tickets, ParkHopper, addons for water parks, etc. I found it a bit confusing when we first started planning!

Are you staying on a Disney resort? If so, watch for 'Extra Magic' hours, where they open early or stay open later only for resort guests. We stayed off-resort, so we avoided the places that had that happening in the morning. Otherwise, plan to go early if you can and be there when they open for shorter lines on rides. We got there each day at opening, and even when we did go early, there were hundreds of people already waiting for the gates to open.

One place we visited while we were there was Discovery Cove, where you get to swim with dolphins, there's a reef area where you can snorkel with tropical fish and stingrays, etc. We hemmed and hawed over it, because it costs $250 a person for the day! But it was the highlight of our trip! You do have to plan it ahead of time, as they only let in about 1200 people a day or something, so it's not crowded, but some days might be already booked when you get there.

In addition to the all-inclusive day there (all food and drink is included, including breakfast and lunch, snacks and alcohol, they supply towels, masks, snorkels, wetsuits, animal-friendly sunscreen, and there's no parking fees either), you also get unlimited admission to Sea World and Aquatica for 14 days surrounding your visit. The 14 day countdown starts the first day you visit one of those parks or Discovery Cove. It was an amazing day.

Hope you have a great time! Please feel free to PM me if you have other questions.
