Soooooo.....
I can't find any method for buying tickets into Disney that gives miles. (Like a travel agency or something).... and so, I turn to you... if someone might be familiar with an outlet to at least gain some miles for this painful purchase?
The bolded portion is the most troubling to me. Unless the OP has serious credit issues, the easist way to quickly get 150k miles is to apply for two Citi AAdvantage credit cards (same day online app is recommended) with the 75k bonus mile links in the thread below:

I recently replaced my two cards with a new AMEX and VISA and have already met the minimum spend (using the expired 75k miles for $1,500 min spend links).
The above technique results in 150k AA miles plus the one mile per dollar spent. A trip to WDW would probably satisfy the minimum spend even at the $4k current offer level.
Filling out both apps online took me about 15 minutes and was much easier than carting 150k one dollar coins to the bank.
