williamsburg va tickets

[jama]

Can someone please help me sort out all the options for tickets to Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown and Busch Gardens? It seems there are many different web sites all with different info and different ticket options. I'm so confused! We will be there for a week in Oct. and plan to spend 2 days at Bush Gardens(but not consecutive) 2 days at colonial williamsburg, 1 day at Jamestown, 1 day at Yorktown.
Any advice for me??
Thanks,
Jama

Just a "heads up" for you -- the weekend of Oct. 20th is the 225th anniversary re-enacment of the Battle of Yorktown. Should be lots to see that weekend.

I've been looking into this too for our July trip and am also confused. From what I've seen on the websites the only way to get a flex pass is to also book your hotel thru them so it's a package deal; we've already got a condo thru our timeshare so I can't do that. If I'm wrong about that please correct me cause I'd love to get a flex pass.

I've also heard it mentioned that you can get a Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, & Yorktown combo ticket but all I've found is Jamestown & Yorktown combos. Right now I'm planning to get the Jamestown/Yorktown combo ticket, annual pass for Williamsburg (a little more $ but I want 2 days not consecutive and it will give the discount for evening programs) and the 7 day Busch/Water country ticket which is cheaper then 1 day tickets at each and gives us the flexibility to do Busch morning/evening and Water Country afternoons and maybe sneak a 3rd partial day in at one. Again if there's a better/cheaper way to do this I'd appreciate the advice. I have AAA for discounts where available and know I can get the Busch tickets in advance thru them but haven't seen it listed for the other places.

I checked out the site again; it's confusing cause when you click on tickets the top of the page has step 1 pick accomodations, step 2 tickets, step 3 book vacation, so it looks like you need to book your hotel thru them to get the ticket prices. I contacted them thru the click to chat link and asked to get a definitive answer and they did say you can buy the flex ticket only, good news

Then I priced it out to get the 7-4-1 flex vs individual as I posted above. It's only saving me $10 to get the flex tickets for our family. It would be an additional $26 savings if we were going to Historic Jamestown & Yorktown Battlefield but we're only planning on Jamestown Settlement & Yorktown Victory. I've also hear there's a AAA discount for the historic triangle but haven't found what it is yet so only included the AAA discount for Busch/Water country; if there's a discount to show your card & save then the $10 savings could easily turn into breaking even or more. And I already built in flexibility with the individual tickets getting a 7 day Bush/Watercountry and annual pass for Williamsburg. All that just to say make sure to price it out individually to see if it's really saving money.

Calie, who's still confused
