I've really been impressed by Eric's enthusiasm for the parks and his presence here on the board has been a nice addition. Like you, if they offered discounts for Florida Residents and AP's then I'd use them. Since they don't its much cheaper for me to use the FL discount rates from Disney, but I do recommend them to anyone asking me about ticket deals who lives outside of FL. I'll be very interested in seeing what deals they can get for FL residents however.

Nice roundup of things Kevin. It should be mentioned though, with the new Playhouse Disney show, the Fab Five aren't just in there as hosts, they're there to represent the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show.

I've seen Orlando Fun Tickets all over the place of late; it's nice to have a bit of info on them from an outside source and an honest review. You mentioned the convenience of having your tickets ready to go when you get to the resort, I would ask however (and this question goes out to OFT too if they're reading this), for those staying at Disney resorts (where your room key is also your ticket with certain packages), is there still an advantage to using OFT other than the discount?

I am more than happy to answer this question! Even if you purchase your tickets through us, Disney can take the tickets you purachased and put them on your room keys (if you booked a rooms only stay at Disney Hotel).

So that being said you still have the Key to World. It ends up working really well!

I used a ticket discount seller last time and I got a good deal. It was OFT's competitor, since I didn't know about OFT last time, but I will consider them next time.

One thing that makes me wonder about the discounted tickets is knowing how Disney likes to control all the time (and money) their guests spend on property - how Disney would allow other businesses to take the ticket business away from them.

Anytime you buy in large enough bulk, discounts are warranted. Its also another marketing way to get people in the park, probably not as much for Disney as other locales, but if someone comes in for tickets to Blueman Group, they may also find out about Cirque for example and decide to see that too.
