Can we purchase Disney World tickets at the gate?

Monica, the quick answer is yes, you are permitted to purchase tickets at the gate, however, it's important to note that a (complimentary) theme park reservation is required to enter the park in addition to your ticket. Because of that, I would highly encourage you to check availability before heading out the door.
