    Hi,

    If you are looking for one ticket to cover all the major parks at a good price check out:

    attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk


    I have used this company and can confirm they are very reliable. You get real tickets and not vouchers. Your tickets are sent within 7 days and you can pay a deposit to secure tickets for next year at current prices.

    I am going in June 2011 and will be booking the above ticket.

    Hi,

    Can someone help me out, I am quite confused by all this.

    I am wanting to book tickets for 2 to:
    - Discovery Cove (inc. a Dolphin Swim)
    - Islands of Adventure
    - Busch Gardens

    Looked at the recommended sites but it is very confusing.
    I not sure if i can get any combination tickets?

    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks

    No there isnt a combo for them all - which is probably deliberate!

    I think it all depends on how long you want to visit each?

    Floridatix is offering Discovery Cove & 14 days Busch gdns for £155 adult. You would then add £80 to that for a 14 day universal ticket. This is cheaper than getting an Orlando Flex ticket and your DC ticket.

    That said, i have only looked at one site. If you only want to visit each park once, it may be worth looking at their individual websites and the price of their tickets. I doubt there will be much in it but worth a look.

    Also worth considering that once you get there, every street corner and shop has booklets with a few dollars off here and there but its not guaranteed to be a good deal.

    Hi,

    I'm stopping in Orlando just for 2 days on the way down to Miami, and we only want to visit Universal Islands of Adventure for one day.

    All I can find are the $79 plus tax tickets for this on Universal's own website, all the other sites seem to offer 2+ day bundles which would be false economy for us.

    Any ideas if there's a way to beat these prices? I'm also wondering if it will just work out cheaper to buy at the gate on the day...

    Thanks!

    It won't be cheaper to buy on the gate on the day.

    There is no cheap way to buy one day tickets to the theme parks. Some people recommend buying from the ticket booths that buy back others' used tickets. I haven't done it - and wouldn't - but many do and save money.

    I'm with Karen on this. We Need a 3 day 2 park Universal pass at the end of a Florida/Georgia/S Carolina trip and the cheapest ticket for us is the £80 14day pass which seems ridiculous overkill. Like Karen we have never used the ticket booths, but we are considering trying to SELL our remaining 11 days to a booth. Nothing to lose really.......unless someone here knows a downside? I guess there is no illegality or anything to doing this?

They are working out to be the best and they will offer 10% dep and balance for tickets 4 weeks before travel and that the prices wont increase. Any info would be aprreciated. Thanks

    For those people who may consider selling tickets on or buying them used please be aware that most of the theme parks use fingerprint technology for entrance as well as proof of ticket,so buying used ones will be worthless.
    Some dedicated Disney forums do not even allow this subject to be brought up and people are being warned that it is prohibited.
    Please be careful if you are tempted to do this as it may possibly end in disappointment.
