Hi

we have decided on discovery cove as a definite and will be getting the ultimate ticket which includes seaworld, aquatica and busch gardens, does anyone know if the 14 day admission are unlimited, or can you only go to each park once within the 14 days ??

thanks

We've booked this as well as worked out cheaper tp get the Discovery Ultimate+ 2 day Universal rather than the DC choice + orlando flex tickets for what we wanted to do . As far as I am aware you can go to all the three parks as many times as you want in the 14days.

Yes but best to have the photo licence as it doubles up as photo ID and you don't need to carry your passport everywhere.

Most definately unlimited. It's 14 days from first use and can be used as often as you want. A good deal if you don't want to stay all day somewhere but would like to go back to catch a few things you miss and for the water parks for a breather every other day they are spot on.

Enjoy it. :j

Have been browsing around in preparation for our first Florida visit in July. I have read all the info on the 14 day ultimate disney ticket and they seem good. However I have seen US tickets for 10 days which seemed very similar and were available from www.undercovertourist.com. They seemed to ship to Uk, were cheaper and as we will probably want to intersperse our park days with other activities seemed ideal.

Are these ok to be used by non-US citizens?
Can you go back into the same park on the same day even without the park hopper (I know you can't visit more than one park on the same day)?

Also if anyone has any hints or tips for our holiday then they would be greatly received. There is myself, husband, son (6) and daughter (3) travelling.

Thanks
Heather

I've bought tickets from undercovertourist in the past and can recommend them. Each time we've used them we've received the tickets within a week.

Yes you can go back into the same park on the same day.

Can I recommend a useful planning website to you? www.thedibb.co.uk

What are people's thoughts on Busch Gardens? We are planning on going at the start of our holiday, but they are doing an "extra day free" offer, can you make 2 days of it, or are there better ways of spending your time. (Money is tight, and as a group of 8, another park may be too expensive)

I have to say i have been to Aquatica and didn't even know these existed, the look a great idea to be honest. For $100 including drinks i reckon it's a good deal.

My day at Aquatica with pics of our cabana can be found on this link,,

It depends on what you like doing - we always go for one day as DD and DH love the rollercoasters, and we go mid-week so it is not as busy and they usually manage to ride everything twice - by that time they are 'rollercoastered out' to the point of nausea so we finish off with a sit-down at Katonga.
We don't really bother with most of the animals because we live near 3 great zoos and it seems a waste of holiday time, but if you wanted to do BG thoroughly, all the rides and animal exhibits, you could make it last two days - its about an hours drive from Orlando each way though.

I hate rollercoasters, but I think the rest of the family will love it.

We have one free day at the end of the holiday so I guess as we are getting the extra day free it is a fall back position.

We know it is about an hours drive - the first time we go, me and the OH (still not figured out what these DH things mean) are staying at Clearwater Beach afterwards and doing the Dali museum the next day

Hi Leachy, just to let you know we are just back from Orlando (Feb) and we hired a car out there with Dollar. OH only had his paper license, and they would not accept it - I had both paper and photocard, and they accepted that.

Probs best to check with the car hire company if you have booked on line already....if you are doing it on arrival, don't go to Dollar, they def wouldn't just accept the paper bit.

You can apply for a photo card here.
