Park Question

[ukman]

Can anyone advise on the best ticket options for myself and family.
We want to go to Magic Kingdom, Busch Gardens, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, Universal and maybe Wet and Wild.
My party consist of Myself and Wife, and two teenage kids, 15 and 13 and two toddlers 4 and 3.

Thanks in advance for any advice....

If you wish to go to Discovery Cove, It may be better to see what deals they are doing at the moment. When we went, the tickets allowed access to Aquatica, Seaworld and Busch Gardens (unlimited entry, only once in discovery cove of course!.
With the ages of the people in your party if you are thinking of Universal, you'll probabaly better to purchase tickets (14 days unlimited access)to Universal and IOA as IOA will appeal more to the teenagers and once you have been they will want to go back!
Use Parktickets.com on this website. There is no one faster or efficient and they are about the cheapest. If you are planning to go to only one Disney park just get the one day ticket. If you wish to go to the other Disney parks as well look at the options on Parktickets.com, it is cheaper and no long queues outside the parks if you have your ticket in hand. Hope that helps. If anyone can help further or know of cheaper tickets please share the details with us. Have a great holiday.

When we went to discovery cove we were able to upgrade to include Busch Gardens, Aquatica and Seaworld. We went to Busch Gardens first but just had to go to Customer Service desk and they sorted tix out. Worked out much cheaper than seperates. Dicovery Cove tix were bought from them direct and everything else from parktickets.com. As Jayne has said you won't get better customer service and we have always found their prices cannot be beaten either.

Hi Wayne,

It might work out to be a bit of a fiddly combination. Here are some ideas that might, or might not, help.

Per the above, the first thought is to look at what your Discovery Cove admission includes, or can be upgraded to. Hopefully that gets you Aquatica and Busch Gardens as well.

Assuming that Magic Kingdom is a must-do for your little guys, if you wanted to stay really efficient on tickets it might be worth looking to add on a bit more Disney and consider giving Universal a miss. The Disney multi-day tickets start to get better value the more days you have. With the right ticket you'll also get admission to the Disney water parks (Typhoon Lagoon and/or Blizzard Beach) which, IMHO, blow the socks off Wet and Wild.

If you definitely want to hit Universal it might be worth considering just a single day to Magic Kingdom and then the best Univesal ticket that fits your plans.

As an observation from our hols this summer, if you're heading up to Universal (or Islands of Adventure) to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter it may be worth looking at the tickets that get you in and out for a period of time, rather than just per-day. As you can imagine, the queues for Harry Potter are quite large, so having the option to bob back and forwards might be a good one rather than feeling like you have to pack everything in to the one day.

Thanks for the advice, so difficult to make up a decision.

I can totally reassure you park tickets.com are reliable. Both the park tickets and car hire from this site offer prices and service that are second to none.
