Another Ticket Thread

[DisPhanatic]

Good morning,

We are traveling in May and I have not yet purchased tickets for our trip. We will be there for 9 days. The kids and I will spend at least 3 days in Discovery Cove, Sea World, Aquatica so those tickets are taken care of (great end of year deal!). My husband is skipping Discovery Cove so he needs SW, Aquatica, US, and IOA tickets. The rest of us need US and IOA. Here are what I think my options are:

- Flex Ticket for hubby - I think this is the most affordable option for him and getting all 4 parks that I need. Does anyone know if this is an option in 2017? When will these tickets be available? Where do I purchase? Price = $372 for 2016 ticket

- For the kids and me, here are our choices (adult price only shown):
Seasonal Annual Pass - $285
Preferred Annual Pass - $385 includes discounts on dining
Orlando 2 Park Explorer Ticket - $270 includes 14 days admission. Do these work for US purchasers?

Please let me know if I have other choices. If I go the route of the AP, can I purchase now to lock in the price? Are ticket prices scheduled to increase any time soon?

Thank you!

I would not be surprised of pass increases with Volcano Bay opening in June

I was reading a chart about pass increases for UO the other day

Now I need to go back and find it
