Univeral & Seaworld combo tickets

[magnetgirl]

HI,
We'll be staying at WDW for 8 days, but want to visit Universal and Seaworld. How many days for US & SW do you suggest for 2 adults to see most of everything? I've read about the flex tickets for US/SW combo. At about $180/person are they worth it? I was going to buy them online on the Universal website? And, how should we get to US and SW from WDW? Taxi???
Thanks so much for your help.
Chris

The FlexTicket (as it is called) is a great value if you use it for the full time. If you're just planning a day or two at the other parks, then it may not be your best bet.

My suggestion is to figure out how many days you'd devote to UO and SW, find out how much it would cost to by single day tickets, and then see if the additional cost of the FlexTicket (if any) is worth to you for the added come-and-go-as-you-please convenience.

I can't help with your transportation question, but I can tell you the FlexTicket won't be your best bet, for this visit. You can get a 5 consecutive day ticket for US and IOA for $81 and a Seaworld 1 day ticket (with a second day free) for about $49. That's a $50 savings per ticket over the FlexTicket.

Thanks kelly and mrsmud,
Where could I find the tickets that you mentioned? I've only found similar ones for more money.
Thanks again,
Chris
