I have used floridatix in the past via Quidco.

Still very expensive though.

honestly, there is next to nothing in park tickets most of the time, blackfriday is the only real-time there is any movement in them.

what are you wanting to do ?

My advice is work out what you actually want to visit and when, they draw you in with the 2 week pass for the price of 7 days or not much more than for 7 days, In reality you wont need a 14 day pass for all the sites as you cant be everywhere at once. I save a load on my second and third visit but buying tickets for the days we wanted to use the parks.

Older kids meant we only visited Disney 2 or 3 days and most days at Univeral and wet and wild.

Bought ours through attractiontickets.com

highly unlikely you save anything buying day tickets not if you do it in anyway properly

also take into account you have to book what days you want to visit the disney parks ahead of time now and iirc there are still restrictions around hopping

but
magic kingdom
epcot
hollywood studios
animal kingdom
blizzard beach
typhoon lagoon
+ mini golf x 2
thats at least 6 full days and likely 2 for magic kingdom

it does somewhat depend on the age of kids as to what they will want to ride or can ride but even being there for rope drop and being there until midnight may not get everything done at magic kingdom depending on time of year

also keep in mind parking charges (std $25 per car per day prefered 45-50!) + genie plus for everyone if you want to use it ($15-25 per person per day) + individual lightning lane passes ($10-20 per person per premium ride if you can get them for rise)

also be aware even not at the busiest times you can easily wait 4 hours + for rise of the resistance if it has issues

We have annual passes for Universal as they were only about £500 per person for the mid-tier passes

We find as we go over more than once a year this works out cheapest as it also includes car parking which is $30/day normally too on top of everything else

Also remember if you are going to do Disney parks you’ll need a park reservation as well as an entry ticket as even if you have a ticket you aren’t guaranteed admission unless you have a reservation too and reservations do “sell out” (they’re free to make)
