Since you are only wanting a two day pass for Disney, you aren't really going to find many discounts available. Most companies, including Disney, only offer the discounts on the longer pass. So it will be likely that you won't find a good/legit discount on a shorter pass. As for the others, Sea World offers good prices right on their website, they tend to have the best discounts available and you know they are going to be real tickets, not a scam. As for Arabian Nights, I think your best option is to wait on that, you can usually find discounts in the coupon books in the area that will give you a few dollars off per person, or you could call them and ask if they have an AAA discounts or anything like that.
Buying from sources other than the actual company, you are going to be taking a risk of getting fake tickets or getting the timeshare tour deal. So, here is my answer regarding where to buy tickets from, it is kind of true for the other tickets as well:
I strongly recommend going directly with Disney or your travel agent to get the ticktes, for several reason.
1). Disney tickets now expire 14 days after the first use, this means that, unless the no-expiration option is added on, the tickets will be no good several weeks or years down the road, but for the next 14 days. Most people don't purchase the no-expiration option, but people will still sell the tickets online that they have used, so you are basically buying an empty ticket.
2). Even if you are getting a ticket that still has days left on it, the tickets are non-transferable. Once you use your ticket the first time, you scan your fingers into a biometrics system so that only you can use that ticket. If you go to the park and use someone elses ticket, you will have to proove that you actually are the person on the ticket, or you will have to buy a new ticket.
3). Aside from the tickets just being a scam and you getting nothing for the money you spend, a lot of what you will find online is going to be a timeshare deal. Basically, you sit through a presentation, usually several hours long, and they will either give you free tickets or a lower rate, or something like that. This is not something I really suggest doing, but if you don't mind it, then it is a good way to get some free tickets.
When you are in Orlando, if you wait to buy your tickets, there will still be a lot of places advertising lower cost tickets. Most of these will be scams or the timeshare deal.
If you buy your tickets from Disney, or a TA, you will get an advance purchase savings. It isn't a huge savings, but it is something. The longer your pass is, the lower your cost is per day, and you can get them for around $30, plus any add ons you do. So, Disney does offer some pretty good rates for tickets.
Also check out Mousesavers, they have a newsletter you can sign up for and get info on discounts and things.
Finally, AAA would be another option. I believe you have to do a 2 or 3 day pass before they offer any savings, however. If you are not a member, make sure you check how much you would actually save and what the cost of membership is. The savings may not be good enough to buy the membership and still save.
Personally, I always book a package with Disney, just so I can ge the dining plan. I go to Disney enough that I could get an AP and be done with it, but I like the dining plan so much I just buy my tickets each time (even though I could have my AP and just buy a one day base to get the dining) So, if you will be staying onsite, look into doing a package. The dining plan can save you 40% off of your food, it is a really great deal and you get a lot of food.
Have a great time!

One of the most important things I tell my clients is to there are going to be a bargain for just about everything here in Orlando except on attraction tickets. At the moment, the current Disney specials are Three Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket Adult (10+) $204.25 Child (3-9) $170.00
Universal Studios has a special where Adults pay child rate, save $10. Plus everyone gets their 2nd visit free.
Arabian Nights has a special where you get25% off + 1 free child per paying adult.
It is best to purchase your attraction ticket with a reputable company.
Hope this helped

do not do it. Base Tickets and Park Hoppers: unused days expire 14 days from their first use. the 1st time that is used the owner's fingerprint is scanned and biometrically saved interior the gadget battling all people different than that individual from making use of the cardboard. BT and PH without Expiration selection: the unused days under no circumstances expire, however the tickets are nevertheless related to their rightful proprietor via scanning the hands. shopper pay attention

The time share thing is the only way to get them for less or for free. The only other way is to be with a large group of people (like conventions), but other than that they set those crazy prices up and stick to them pretty tight! Good luck and have fun if you go.
