Any Disney ticket experts?

We are heading to Florida in August for 21 days. We are staying at Disney so will be buying 21 day ultimate tickets but we were looking at best options for other tickets. Last time we bought 14 day flex tickets but didn't feel as if we got full value.

Hoping to do
Discovery Cove.
Seaworld (1/2 days)
Aquatica
IOA (2 days)
Universal Studios (2 days)

Can anyone recommend best ticket options? We will need to buy 4 adult tickets as both children over 10.

One of the Discovery Cove packages includes entrance to Seaworld and Aquatica (and Busch Gardens!).

Never been to Universal/IOA so don't know about those.

We're going for the Orlando Flexticket which gives you unlimited admission to Universal's Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, Wet 'n Wild, SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica. Cheapest I've found is £122.30, so far.

Edited to add: Actually we'll probably get the Flexticket plus which also allows for Busch Gardens at £147.40.

Ok, its making me think about driving. Is it easy enough to hire a car for a few days, I do have finaces to think about and I am going to be staying at P/O. But a few days hiring a car might give an additional twist to the hoilday, like you say visiting Clearwater for example. Would a hire company deliver to the hotel

thanks everyone, good debate!!

Hi

yes car hire companuies are very flexible. If you hire a car that uses the Disney Car Care Centre they wont deliver it BUT they will gibve you a lift there for free and drop you back again.

All of the big guns use the Disney car care centre.

no worries

The Disney Car Care Centre is basically a huge car rental place on the Disney property. You do not need to sort it out before you go no, you can which is fine but you will probably need a credit card. YOu could do it with a debit card but I am not sure.

If you go to a website like https://www.usrentacar.com or https://www.yescarhire,com from the pick off and drop off location pick the Disney Car Care centre.

Also your hotel will gladly help you.

Can I be nosey and ask where you're getting them for that price? Cheapest I've come across was £165 with Virgin and then get the 3% through Quidco. I had seen them for £147 from tickets4fun but they don't seem to exist anymore
