To borrow AIBU's high traffic to query Universal Theme Park tickets?

Asking here for the very high traffic, but please ignore me if it's totally the wrong thing to do

My disabled son is going to Orlando for his 30th birthday at the end of March. He'll have a carer going along, and we're fine with sorting out the flights and accommodation. Thing is, he wants to do some of the theme parks (not Disney as he's already been) and the ticket complexities are frying my mind - so I'm here hoping for help from those who've done all this before

They'll be there for 7 nights and he wants to do the Universal Parks (Universal Studios, Volcano Bay and Islands of Adventure) and also Sea World with a dolphin swim if possible

Ideally he could do with tickets which allow him to visit at any point during the 7 days, but I can't work out from the endless sites whether this is possible without paying insane amounts - it's bad enough as it is with it being easter, but he really wants to be there for his birthday

I also had some idea that the parks do "companion tickets" for those with disabilities, but can't seem to find anything about them online

As I said, I'm struggling with this at the moment and would be very, very grateful if anyone can help with the best way to approach it all

You could well be right, Athome; I've been thinking more about this and there's also the question of transport for whatever he wants to do on the 2 days or so when he's not at theme parks

Maybe the best thing would be to take the free shuttle on a couple of day and drive on the others, if only to soak up the parking fees a bit. Frankly I think it's beyond disgraceful to screw another $20+ out of folks you've just charged a fortune for visiting your park, but that's another story of course
