Where is the best place to buy tickets for this?

You can buy them as guest services when you enter the park, they cost around $40-50 dollars per person but be aware that they only entitle you to go the front of the line ONCE per ride and some rides are excluded (New HP land etc). You might be better just going on a single riders line if your party doesn't mind getting split up, it's free and will save you loads of time! Can't answer on Busch Gardens tour I'm afraid as I've never done it. Have a great holiday!

Hi all,

Going to Orlando in a couple of weeks. I don't have a Visa card and am wary about taking a large amount of cash. Has anyone used American Express travellers' cheques recently? I've heard reports of fraud in the USA and some places do not accept them - is this correct?

Thanks!

Can you not get a pre-pay visa card just for your holiday?

I go away next week for a few months and have 4 annual waterpark passes for Disney. They run out September 13th 2010.

2 x adult
2 x children

If anyone wants them PM me, first to do so gets them. I don't want anything for them since we aren't back in the US until Jan 2011 and so will just stick them in the post for whoever.

Not fingerprinted.

On 30th May he said 'I go away next week for a couple of months' and that you could have the tickets 'when he returned'. He is not going to send you his tickets for the Waterparks when he is there using them, is he? And this is why he has not replied to your email, because he is in the US.

You'll just have to be patient and wait til he get's back.

Dunno then. Did you pay for them? He says he is away now for a few months so probably why he is not answering. I'd give it up as a lost cause for now and buy them for when you go instead so you have them. when are you leaving?

Hi guys i fly out to the states tomorrow. I will be in vegas and then miami but we are going to go to orlando for a few days.

We are not doing disney this time but we would like to go to universal and see the new harry potter set up and maybe busch gardens and sea world too.

I read somewhere that you can get tickets for US where you can go to the front of the line. and for the busch gardens that you can join a tour?

I think this would be best for us as we are on a tight time frame.

Where is the best place to buy tickets for this?

If you don't have a hotel in Orlando yet you might want to consider staying at one of the universal studios hotels. You still need to buy park tickets but you will get unlimited front of line passes as a guest of the hotel. The express passes that you buy on the day are limited to one express pass per ride the hotel passes are unlimited front of line uses. So depending on how many of you there are it could be cheaper to stay a night there instead of express passes. One night stay will get you two days of unlimted front of line passes - you can get your passes early on your check in day, they will store your bags and you can get your room later and on check out day your passes are valid until closing.
