There are a couple of Wal-Mart Supercenter stores in Kissimmee that have discount ticket kiosks. Last year, I bought discount park tickets here for my family (they offer Disney tickets with all add-ons, Universal, Sea World, etc).
I wasn't in the rewards game at the time, but reading this thread made me go back to my CC site and look... sure enough, this was coded as "grocery"! Oh, had I only known then what I know now... 5-6% opportunity depending on what card you use, and the ticket discounts were 5%+ depending on the attraction.
Naturally, you couldn't redeem travel rewards (Arrival+, for example) for the tickets as you could if you purchased them through Disney or through a travel agency, but if you do not have a way to redeem rewards for tickets, you could net some nice points buying at Walmart with a (not AMEX) card with a grocery bonus.
The store I used was #5420.
