    Remember to add on car insurance, if you haven't already. This can bump the price up quite a bit.

    From my experience (7th time to orlando) its always cheaper to buy 7-14 day tickets over here. Day passes are better over their.
    I always buy my disney tickets direct from disney and flexi tickets from orlando ticket deals.com although this year it was cheaper to by them through virgin eventhough i didnt book with them!

    Virgin no longer allow you to book just attraction tickets with them - there was a post on the old thread about this several months back

    Charter Travel doing 14-day ultimate Disney (2009) for £213 - cheapest I've found anywhere (and I have been searching for AGES!) I've just bought mine from them - it is a voucher not actual tickets.

    An alternative to the FlexTicket, which I have bought, is the Orlando Combo Ticket from Attraction Tickets Direct http://www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk/attraction-ticket-prices/4-park-orlando-ticket.htm The 5-park Combo ticket gives you Busch Gardens, Universal, IOA, Seaworld, and Aquatica for £147, the only difference is that Wet'n'Wild is not included - but with the two Disney waterparks and Aquatica I don't think we'll be missing out.

    your looking at roughly 72 dollars each

    Not any more. Prices went up on Sunday and its now 79 bucks a piece

    You can get an AAA discount but you need AAA membership.

    the best thiing is to check out https://www.touringplans.com and the cheapest ticket calculator. That will search all the agents for you for the best deal
