We are a family of 2 adults and 3 kids. Can anyone give me an idea of how much I will be for park tickets? Will want to go to Disney, Universal, Seaworld, Busch gardens. Difficult question but a rough idea would be good. Also what tickets to buy, as there are so many options!!!!!!!!!!!

It depends upon how often you want to go to each park.

For an idea of prices you'll need to work out your itinerary first to see what tickets would be most suiutable.

There are a number of options, which I will try and explain. You need to decide what's important to you in order to decide which tickets are right for you.

Disney
If you buy from a UK based company, you can buy 5,7,14 or 21 day passes (http://www.floridatix.co.uk/)that include everything, you can visit multiple parks in 1 day (so with a 5 day pass, you can enter the big 4 parks on 5 seperate days, but on each of those 5 days you could visit all 4 parks, MK in the morning, AK in the afternoon, Epcot in the evening) The 5 and 7 day tickets come with a set number of water park admissions, and the 14/21 day have unlimited admissions.

If you will be at Disney a lot, and you want to be able to park hop, then these are a great option. We buy the 14 day pass as we often park hop, and we visit Disney nearly every day. They are relatively expensive though. 14 day pass is around £163

If you think you only need a set number of Disney admissions, aren't interested in water parks, and can live without park hopping, then Magic Your Way Base tickets (http://www.mapleleaftickets.com/disney_tickets.htm#Magic%20Your%20Way%20Base) can save you some cash.
You can add water parks, hopping and no expiration options to these. If you add both water parks and hopping then you will be better with a UK ticket. Some people like to add no expiration so they can use remaining days for a future trip. This wouldn't work for us as the chance of any days left over is so slim. It's worth pointing out the difference between a 4 day and a 10 day ticket is only $10, so you may as well get the longer ticket for greatest flexibility. 10 day base ticket is $234, around £120



Universal, Seaworld, Busch Gardens.

Orlando Flex Ticket (http://www.floridatix.co.uk/orlando-flexticket.asp) is £135. 14 day access to both Universal Parks, Seaworld, Busch and Wet n Wild.

I think for most people it's expensive, unless they will be visiting those parks every day.

An alternative is to buy
7 days at Universal/IOA (http://secure.universalstudios.com/webstore/shop/ViewItems.aspx?Merchant=UOMainOnline&CategoryGroupExternalID=UOMainB&CategoryExternalID=UOTPTLiveB) - $81. / £40ish Unlike Disney this is 7 consecutive days, so if you use it on a Monday, then it's finished on Sunday.

Then for Seaworld/BG (http://www.seaworld.com/sitepage.aspx?PageID=196) you can get a 7 day (consecutive) for $89 / £45

Which would give you access to both parks for £95.



So 2 Adults, 3 kids under 10, cheapest option (you could save a tiny bit on Disney tickets, but really only around £20 total)

$1,053.00 for Disney Base Tickets
$449 for Seaworld/BG 7 day tickets
$432.30 for Universal 7 day tickets.
========

$1934

which is when you thank your lucky stars you can covert that number to pounds.

So you are looking at around £980 compared with £1373 for 14 day WDW premium tix and 14 day Flex Ticket PLUS.

Universal 7 day tickets are cheaper at Viator (http://www.viator.com/tours/Orlando/Universal-Orlando-2-Park-Unlimited-Admission-Ticket-for-7-Days/d663-3088_2D). You can get 2 Adults, 3 kids under 10 for $395.20 (£198.85) when you use the promotion code FAB7 which gives you 7% off the original Viator price.

Just noticed that if you use the link posted then the prices are as stated but if you find yourself on the .co.uk version of the site then you don't get the same options (unlimited tickets not available, only 2 day/2 park tickets) and they are more expensive ($117 against $101).

So if you booked on uk site you would be paying $36 more per ticket (against the unlimited ones) and restrict yourself to just 2 days not possibly 7!!

Once again we in UK are being ripped off.
