Orlando park tickets - help!

Hello


Myself and my bf are off to Florida next week and the only thing I'm unprepared for is the Disney and Universal park tickets! I can't seem to figure out the best way of purchasing them.


We just want 1 or 2 days in Universal (and City Walk) and 1 or 2 days in Disney (Magic Kingdom probably?)

All the packages online seem to be for 7/14 day access. Can someone please tell me the cheapest way to get a couple of days access to each park? :)


Thanks!

    The short duration tickets are not typically sold in the UK. You can buy single day or short duration tickets either at the park entrance or from the hotel concierge desks in many hotels.

    You don't need any tickets for Citywalk. It is like Disney's downtown area where anyone can go there to use the restaurants and bars.

    When I was preparing to to go to Orlando I use this forum a lot. It is very helpful indeed. The people there can advise on tickets as well as other things.

  • Thanks all! That's really helpful. I tried asking on the Dibb but no one responded, I find I always get a reply from friendly people like yourselves on this site though :)

    you can buy some short-term park tickets for WDW and Universal in advance - try here for example (found on the DIBB) -

    then compare with the gate prices, see if its worth your while buying in advance.

    I can recommend Undercovertourist, we've used them before, they're good to deal with.
