going to universal/seaworld one day each

[valandemmy]

hey everyone! we are going to disneyworld for a week, and recently decided to add one day at seaworld and one day at universal. can anyone tell me where i can get the best deal for those tickets. i just need one day each, so if i could get a combo ticket that would be great! thanks!

There is a combo ticket but in my view its not worth it (its also a 2 week ticket). Universal is two parks not one its made up of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. While it is possible to do both in a single day I would recommend spending two days at Universal. All of the ticket deals that I know of are for multiday tickets. One of the many deals for Universal is the 7 day ticket that is $85. The only deal I can think of to Sea World is a combo ticket with Busch Gardens in Tampa its also a 7 day ticket for $85.

Right, many Disney people want to try Universal for a day, but it's two parks, and kinda hard to do them both in a single day, unless you do a thrill ride tour and skip most shows.
The 1 day 2 park ticket is about $80. 7 day ticket deal is $85.
Sea World of Florida is really a 1.5 day park and the 2nd day is usually free.

The best idea is to have a rental car so you can drive anywhere. Then what you do is visit one park in the morning, another at night.
Most people have this idea they can only visit 1 park per day, but you can see a lot doing the morning park, rest in the afternoon, evening park strategy.

Hi if your a AAA memeber you can purchase a one day ticket for both parks at universal for 70 dollars and unless you race through the parks at lightning speed it will be hard to do everything at both parks. I just did that and was not able to get alot done at islands of adventure. I also had the front of the line pass which is definitely worth it. I dont like waiting on long lines so it was great. Seaworld has a be a kid again tickets for 54 dollars if you purchase it online at there website at least 7 days in advance. They are all great parks and definitely worth doing. Good luck. Just got back last week from doing a day a piece at each of those parks after five days in disney and the four night disney cruise.

We are thinking of taking one day off from Disney and heading over to Universal. My daughter is in love with Spiderman. Anyways wondering what the best way to get there would be. We are staying at the Polynesian - should we try to rent a car for the day or just get a taxi?

Disney partners up with Mears to make them their shuttle. You'll find phones in the lobby that connect you with Mears. There's this thread with recommendations for Sunray.

If you only go up one time, then the limo would be the best choice. The rental car gives you freedom to go anywhere you want, but then you have to pay for parking, and gas. I usually tell people to rent the car, but for 1 trip, the limo will work.

To get from the TTC to SWF, you can take the Lynx #50 bus, which is only a few bucks. Many have reported doing it with positive results.
