Attraction Tickets however not all needed.

I want to do some attractions, but not all the ones that come under the flexi tickets etc.





I want to do Islands of Adventure, Bush Gardens, Typhoon Lagoon, Epcot, Sea World and also Kennedy Space Centre.





I know that these are all different parks under different ticket names but what would be the best and cheapest way to buy them?





Thanks



Attraction Tickets however not all needed.


(1) Kennedy Space Centre - Buy a one day pass (actually at the moment you can get second day free) - around 拢19 or 拢39 depending on whether you want the option with %26#39;dine with an astronaut%26#39;, %26#39;astronaut hall of fame%26#39; etc.





(2) Epcot %26amp; Typhoon Lagoon - If you just want one day at each and don%26#39;t want to visit any of the other Disney parks I would just buy one day tickets for each. However, you can add the %26#39;water park fun and more option%26#39; to any Disney base ticket (including one day passes) for $53.25 - this is only about $10 more than a one day entry to Typhoon Lagoon ($41.54) and also includes entry to Blizzard Beach, Disney Quest, Pleasure Island %26amp; Disney%26#39;s Wide World of Sports complex. If added to a 1, 2 or 3 base ticket you get 3 separate admissions to the water parks etc for your money. Current prices for the Disney base tickets (i.e. entry to the theme parks) is $71.36 1 day or $140.58 2 day - mousesavers.com has a full list





(3) Islands of Adventure, Sea World %26amp; Busch Gardens - All are included under the 5 park flex ticket which costs around 拢117, or there are other options. For Sea World %26amp; Busch Gardens the best price IMO is a 21 day Adventure Pass - this costs about 拢49 compared to a total of 拢60+ for one day%26#39;s single admission to each park. You could then add on just one day%26#39;s admission to Islands of Adventure (sorry I can%26#39;t find the price for this). There is a 2 day pass (currently includes 3rd day free) available for IoA %26amp; Universal Studios at around 拢64 but if you%26#39;re buying this on top of the 拢49 Adventure Pass the total price would be 拢113 - only slighly less than a Flex Ticket.





Basically the best price will depend on the number of days you want at each park, and whether you think it is worth a few extra 拢 to include things like the other Disney water parks or Universal Studios which weren%26#39;t on your original list.





By the way, all the prices quoted in 拢 are from onlineflorida.co.uk - I have bought tickets from them before %26amp; was very happy, hence using them for the pricing, but you may be able to get slightly better prices elsewhere if you look around.

That%26#39;s great. Thanks for the info.





I%26#39;ve looked at some of those options and they look to be the best ones. The Bush Gardens and Sea World ticket combines nicely as well as the Kennedy ticket.





However, I cant seem to find tickets for the Disney parks that offer just the one day. There only seems to be only the Ultimate or Premium tickets available for the ones I stated.




You can buy a one day base ticket and if decide to go again to any other park just keep your ticket and receipt and the park will issue you new tickets with a discount. And they tell you that at time of purchase. Really helpful.




That seems like a smart idea. Having looked at this Magic Your Way ticket choice. It looks to apply only to the US market. Would this still be a good deal for me in the UK taking in to consideration postage if coming from the US?




The Magic Your Way tickets are not just aimed at the US market in that you can use them if you come from the UK, but I%26#39;m not sure of the best place to buy, postage costs etc. Most of the UK ticket websites seem to assume you want to spend the whole of your holiday at Disney and only offer ticket options with 5 days+.





As you%26#39;re not looking at loads of days and add-ons with your Disney tickets (park hopping, non-expiration etc) the cheapest option would probably be to just wait until you get there and buy tickets at the gate, but not sure how this would work out for you - I know some people like to get everything sorted before they go. Maybe someone else can suggest a good site to buy from in advance?




Have just had a quick look through some old posts on the same topic and ticketmania.com seem to be recommended by quite a few people. They sell every option on the Magic Your Way tickets so could be what you%26#39;re looking for.





The 1 %26amp; 2 day base tickets are subject to a $5 %26#39;convenience fee%26#39;, and international shipping is $25 so it would still be cheaper to wait until you get there just for the Disney tickets, but their prices are a few $%26#39;s cheaper than gate prices for Islands of Adventure %26amp; Kennedy Space Centre so you%26#39;d have to price things up overall. As far as I can tell the $25 shipping charge is a one-off no matter how many tickets you buy. Oh and they also offer an option to deliver to your hotel room in Orlando for $10 if this would be better.
