Hi - hope someone can help. I have spent hours on the net trying to find the most competative prices for Disney and Universal theme park tickets. Am unsure what site to buy them from as there is so many options and prices. Can anyone suggest a trustworthy and reliable sight to buy tickets from at the best prices? Want to visit Disney for 3-4 days and Universal for 2-3 days. Please help! Thanks!;)

I have just used Attraction Tickets Direct, as mentioned above.

I did the same as you and researched prices on the web, then checked out the companies on The Dibb. ATD came out as best service, most reliable etc. and issue actual tickets, not e-tickets or vouchers.

They were not the cheapest, but will price match, this was done quickly and almost instantly over the phone. (Tell them where you have seen the lower price as they have to check it).

Really polite, helpful staff and I received a confirmation email from them before I had finished the phonecall. The tickets actually took 10 days to arrive, but they did say 8-10 days when i booked, and were sent recorded delivery for which there was no extra charge.

Got ours this trip from Themeparktickets.com....Paid £146 for a 5 day hopper plus which was upgraded free to a 7 day.Like you I trawled through the net but found these the best for what we wanted to do.
Before we left Disney we 'Upgraded' our tickets to be Non-expiry as in the end we only actually used 4 days worth & never got around to the water parks this time. It cost about £147 to do this but that covered all 3 tickets & at least next time we go, we wont need to buy any Disney ones.That was a tip I'd picked up b4 we left from another Dibber otherwise I had no idea we could do it so would have just lost the unused days-So Thanks Dibbers!

ATD is brilliant especially as they sent them Special Delivery which is standard, however it is worth looking at the Royal Mail website and it said tickets are covered in the post if they are sent Special Delivery should anything unforseen happen.

I will be ordering more tickets from them in future :grin:

Always orlando ticket deals for us. Pay a wee bit more, but no postage and packaging costs. Ordered last wednesday evening and received the tickets on the saturday by special delivery.

Has anybody used onlineflorida.co.uk just been looking at the site and they appear to be a few quid cheaper than ATD. My first trip to Florida and I'm a bit overwhealmed with all the different choices of tickets and companys etc.

Another vote for ATD...can't recommend them enough.
