Park Tickets?

[luchamouse]

Hi guys,

Where are you buying your tickets this year? We're doing Universal again and last year we got a great deal direct where we got a free child's ticket with our adult ticket. Can't see that one this year...

Also on the Disney tix we saved a few bob going with Undercover Tourist. So I'll be checking those out also.

Any other recommendations?

Hi,

We have Universal Annual Passes - their own website frequently have offers on, same for Sea World.

For Disney we prefer the 'Magic Your Way' tickets, because you can buy one's that have hopper/non expiry options. Our 10 day passes have lasted us 2 holidays so far and will be good for a few more days when we go in 10 weeks time.
Bought them from Maple Leaf who we have used a few times, you can buy direct from their Kissimmee store or they post cheap to the UK too.

What type of Universal ticket you looking for?
Dreams Unlimited still have the 7 day ticket on offer for $86 each which are good value.
We also have AP's for $99/year renewal. They are the best value for Universal but you need to start off on the buy one year get one free or they are expensive to start.

Hi guys,

We're looking for the 7 day 2 Park pass. I would dearly love to by the APs but my husband swears blind we're not going back next year

I'm still working on that one....

Thats where my wife is very clever, I am a Yorkshire man who really likes value for money, she has me buying AP's for all the parks, Disney, Universal, SW and Busch. Now she knows I will book flights to get my value out of all the AP's. 3 trips this year and still not planned Oct half term.

I have been looking on the Universal website at the 7 day unlimited pass, will I need to pick up these at the park on the day I visit? Is this pretty hastle free?

Also I was looking at the Fast Pass (or whatever the Universal one is called!) option and I see it costs $26 a day on the days we are visiting. Is this worth getting for either US or IoA? I'm thinking maybe just getting it for one of the parks, maybe IoA?

Thanks!

I didn't get it last year and we went in late May early June. We were in Universal during Memorial Day weekend and found that as long as we opened the park we could walk onto everything for the first hour and a half. It got steadily worse though, and by 11 the hoardes were arriving.

We have 2 young Kiddos so we were out of there by 2.00pm anyway.

Yes is you order online you will get a confirmation receipt which you should print off and take with you to the ticket kiosks at either US or IOA park entrance. It's very easy and no real hassle.

The express passes, it can depend on when you are going - if you arrive at the parks early strictly speaking you can get on the popular rides before the park gets busy so you may not need them.

Some of the more busier attractions are near the park entrance:

Spiderman/Hulk at IOA , Jimmy Neutron/Shrek at US.
