K.S.
We went the first part of April. Got our tickets through AAA. They only sell four day that include the park hopper option. They were at a discount of about $15 from the gate price. Guess you need to consider how many days you want to go, which parks and if the park hopper option is worth it for you. Just so you know, the park tickets do not include the water parks.

Also, the tickets once used by an individual, cannot be used by anyone else since they scan your finger upon entering.
Hope you have a great time!
