Going to Florida September 2012, and starting to plan now. I know I can buy the Disney base tickets this year and use them when we go next year, but does anyone know if I buy the Universal 2 park bonus ticket and the Seaworld 2 park ticket, would I be able to use them next year? Most of the websites Ive seen ask you for the date you will be using them, and I would like to buy them this year before they put the prices up! Thanks in advance

Hi,can you tell me where you are buying your tickets from? when i looked it said tickets for 2011 are x amount but didnt give a price for 2012.
I would like to buy mine now for next year also just to break up the £££££
but am afraid to buy now in case there is an expiry date on them and i lose the money for them.
im looking to buy the ultimate ticket,is this the best one?

Im thinking the same, buy them now before the prices go up. I dont buy the UK Disney tickets (Ultimate, Premium), as we tend to only do 1 park per day. I go for the 4 day base ticket, and I normally buy them from Orlando Attractions. I know with the base tickets, you can definitley buy them now and use them next year, so I will be buying them soon, Im just trying to find out about the Universal and Seaworld tickets, but no-one seems to know, so I might just get them next year to be safe

I go to Florida next month and bought my tickets yesterday from http://http://www.pillingerworldtravel.co.uk/orlando-attractions/combo-tickets.asp.

I bought 'The One Ticket' which is described as

14 days UNLIMITED access to Orlando's best theme parks:
Enjoy 14 days UNLIMITED access to Orlando’s best theme parks for one low price! You have the freedom to come and go as you please to all the parks in Walt Disney World, plus Universal Studios, Universal's Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

Adult price is £368
Child price is £329

I've looked everywhere for these type of tickets and this seemed to be the best price.

Thanks for this. Mine and MrM's passports were issued in 2005 whilst my daughter's was renewed last year and they are totally different. Looks like we will need VISAs as well. Hope someone posts with more advice on this.

I, personally, am not convinced 'The One' saves you money as it would have cost us more and included parks we was not interesting in going to.

It depends on what you want to do when you are there, make a list and post it here and we'll see what is available for you.
