I think the title says it all! Being that we are from Canada, I am trying to buy a season pass online ( which I can as long as it isn't on the ez pay) I have already booked and paid for DC with the passmember discount, which we have done before with our SW passes. We let our SW expire this year, we have done SW so much, that we decided we would do BG instead this year. I am hoping I do not have to drive to BG before DC as it is early in our trip and I really don't want to drive down there more then what I am going to already. Can I use the eticket at Discovery Cove? Or will I have to drive there to get it done? They do offer a version to be shipped to me, but it is an addtl $20. Any help would gladly be appreciated. I am hoping I really don't have to go to Tampa first.
 
Updated**** I can buy the Busch Gardens ticket and have the ticket itself shipped to me, so that takes care of driving to Tampa. BUT, hope I can write this so people understand. I have a family of 4, my hubby has an AP for SW that expires in May, I ordered two combo tickets for SW/BG from my airmiles and I ordered one combo ticket online through the SW website and of course put my name on it when asked for the name.
So now I have one SW AP in my hubbies name, 2 combo tickets from airmiles (not sure if there are names on it, as I have never ordered them at all from airmiles before, but nowhere did they ask for them) and my husband still needs a ticket for Busch Gardens, which I was going to buy a AP from the website. I am trying to make ressies at DC for my family, so my hubby with the AP gets the discount with the SW one, plus us 3. We have 8 family members coming on our vacay with us and they all want to do SW. If I put the BG annual passport in my hubbies name and he has 2 full priced AP's, can I take guests under both AP. I know if I was to add the 2nd park as the AP, ($169) I can't, but if I have the SW one I have paid for already that expires in May, and a BG one, should it not be considered two memberships? I am not sure til my tickets come in from airmiles can I split them up, and give my hubby the BG one for the one day there, and I can put the AP in my name then or are they even 2 seperate tickets? I am so confused. I guess I shouldn't have offered my family to come to DC with us on the discount but I knew we were buying one AP for BG because of the parking discounts, and we plan on being down in that area in Dec again! If you can decipher what I am trying to say in this book, any help would be appreciated!
