Anyone have any recommendations as to where the best deal is to be found. Tickets will be needed for 7 days in the Disney Parks and 7 Days in Busch Gardens. Thanks.

we always buy them when we get there.why do you need 7 days for busch gardens ? you can do it in a day.very hot and sweaty place.

We booked ours through Thomas Cook, we went last year, dd's were 6 and 4 at the time. We bought the disney and the universal/busch gardens. We used the disney one most days, but the other one we didn't really use that much. We are hoping to go back in a couple of years and are only going to buy the disney tickets, the others we will just wait and pay on the door.

We have bought our tickets through Travel City Direct in the past as they have some good offers available. Never done Busch Gardens though I assume they are available too.

For example (although 3 years ago now) for £338 per adult we got:

  • 14 days Disney hopper pass
  • 7 day Universal hopper pass (cost ame as a 3 day one on offer)
  • Seaworld day ticket (got second day free when we got to park)
  • Space centre day ticket

We thought Universal parks were definitely worth it, and DD really enjoyed Sea World too.

We have just come back from Florida and we bought 14 day ultimate disney tickets and 1 day seaworld (with 1 day free) from Travel City Direct on the net. These seemed to be the best deal.

Last year we bought our tickets from www.attractiontix.co.uk at a competitive price. Used them because we didn't have time to wait for tickets in the post and their office is local to us (Birmingham) so I collected in person. They were helpful and efficient.

Don't know if you've been to Orlando before but there is easily enough at Disney to fill a 14 day break so think twice before before buying tickets to the "other parks" as you probably won't get your money's worth.

I would say buy Disney or the Flex ticket, not both. You can always buy individual days if you find you have a spare day (very unlikely!)

Personally, we prefer Universal, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Wet 'n' Wild etc (Flex ticket) but then we have a (very tall) 6 year old who is seriously into extreme rollercoasters. Really depends on age/interest of those going.

Hope this helps.

We bought a 14 day Disney pass and a flex ticket for Universal, Islands of Adventure, Seaworld and Wet and Wild. Think we got full money's worth from them both in 2 weeks. We got them from a website called American Attractions I think - seemed to be the best deal I could find.
