Ticket information

We are planning a 2 week trip in August so looking for advice on tickets please. Would the 10 day ticket for WDW be the best option? Also does that ticket allow you 10 day access to the disney water parks? Can I prebook the tickets on line (Im in Ireland) or just purchase them when we arrive in Orlando? Any advice would be great...thanks in advance

1. Inquire about 14 day tickets, which are sold to persons in the U.K. Unlimited water park fun and hopping are included. I think you need to buy these before your trip although I am not sure where.

2. Water park fun giving 10 visits can be added to a 10 day regular ticket for about USD 55. This can be used on both theme park days and non-park days in the ticket's 14 day lifespan.

I don't think you ended up posting this on the board you meant to ask the question on.
I am going to move it to the UK Board, where I'm sure someone can answer your question better.

If your a talking about just one holiday then a 10 day MYW would be the wrong option,much better to go with the 14 Day ultimate as previously recommended.It is not cost effective to use some of those 10 days for the waterparks much better to buy 5-7 Day premium passes here in the UK.If (like we normally do) you intend to go again in the next few years then it could be worth looking at the US ticket sites & buy a MYW pass,with hopper,water parks & non-expiry that way you have really prepaid your park addmission for your next holiday.

If I decided to purchase the tickets before we travel which is the best web site to use? I did a Google search but I came up with loads of different sites

If UK then I have used www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk ,have always had good service & it is real tickets they send out (some just send you a letter that you have to hand in).For our MYW passes I have either used www.ticketmania.com or www.mapleleaftickets.com depending on the best price,the only downside to them at the minute is the £/$ ratio but again both issue real tickets.
The main difference between the UK & US sites are there are only 4 Tickets available to buy here 14/21 Day Ultimate or 5/7 Day Premium,the US have many more options-theres normally a Dreams Unlimited link on the home page which gives you a really good breakdown on what's on offer.
