Hi Everyone ,new here ,been to orlando 3 times now and off for a 4th time at the end of the month , (as long as i can find a deal at the right price lol)
I dont really understand the tickets sold on the above link ,is it me or are they unnessacarily complicated ? seems a max of 10 days with park hopping and limited visits to water parks is considerably dearer than buying the normal 14 day disney ultimate ticket that everybody else sells ,disney included. we like to go to a park ,go have dinner somewhere else then maybe back to another park in the evening ,or go out for the day and stop at a water park for a couple of hours on the way back to the villa.
What am i missing with these tickets ,surely they are not as dear as it seems?
Thanks
Richard.

Hi Richard,

We've always found that the Park Tickets link above were the best value for money and this was true before we became villa owners and before I became a moderator on these forums. A few things to check are that you are comparing like for like (ie same package with taxes included - a lot of sites show the prices before taxes and any additional fees). Another factor to consider is to make sure that any site you are price comparing with is selling genuine tickets and not either tickets based on attending a time-share 'information session' and/or part used tickets.

I am sure some others may be able to answer more specifically your enquiry.

Many thanks and welcome,

Euan

If you want 14 days unlimited access to the Disney parks then the 14 day ultimate is best. Most poeple will do a lot of other parks so a 4 - 6 day ticket (with or without waterparks) from us is much better and much cheaper. Pointless having 14 days access when most folks spend half the time in non Disney parks. We sell up to 10 main days plus 10 waterpark days. The higher days are only of value in a no expiry format for poeple who like to spread the ticket over more than one vacation.

Just had a quick look through tickets & can't find a 10 day park hopper + waterparks which is NOT no-expiry...
No expiry tickets (which last 'forever') are considerably dearer than tickets with a 14 day limit..
Maybe the thinking is that it's not possible to use a 10 day ticket + 5 waterparks in 14 days ????

We always get our tickets from here. Straight forward (we find for us a few days sometimes with waterparks sometimes without is ideal.), quick delivery, actual tickets and great customer service. Same with car hire

Ok thanks looks like im reading it wrong lol
so which tickets do i need to be able to go into any park as many times as i like, water parks included on any of the 14 days ,2 adults and 3 kids of paying age?? thanks.

Anybody done the Makahiki dinner show at seaworld ? is it any good ? for just over a hundred pound for us all it doesnt cost much more than dinner in a restaurant so im thinking cant go to far wrong ,or is it bad? We are planning on doing the hoop de doo show this time as never done that ,looks pretty good according to the reviews, not sure if its worth doing both shows though?
We used to like the dolly Parton horse show ,shame thats not around anymore.

There is no one ticket which will let you into all the parks

The Orlando 6 Park Flex ticket with Aquatica will let you into both universal parks, sea World, Bush Gardens, Auatica and Wet n' wild. Or you can get a 5 park ticket which does not include Busch Gardens. To do this with Disney you would need th e14 day ultimate Ticket which I just can't see you getting enough use out of. I'd go for a 4 day base ticket with water parks if you want more than just the other 2 or without if the others are enough.

Take a look at Fun in the Sun Packages 3 & 4 on the link above as these cover what I have suggested
