Mobile Where to buy tickets !

Hi everyone it's a long time since we've been to Florida and we are thinking of going again. We went about 12/13 years ago and at that time we were advised to buy tickets for the theme parks in Florida and not to buy them here in the UK before we go. Is that still the best thing to do?
Most of the tickets I've seen online here are 14 day passes for which ever park you want really. I can't help feeling that would be buying more than we need. We'd be going for 14 days but would probably go to a theme park every other day not every day. When we went last time there seemed to be lots of different options of tickets we could buy that we couldn't buy here in the UK.
What do people think is the best thing to do?

Best will depend on what and where you want to go. Once you've worked out how long you will be spending in which parks then you will find it easier to go through the different options of park tickets. Will you be doing Disney or Universal or SeaWorld or a combination and how many days will you spend at each of these? Then you'll be able to look at the different offerings that are available in the UK or the US

As per many other threads the UK tickets are very good value compared to those in the US.

SeaWorld tickets online for a day are good value and they often have deals.

Start by working out which parks in general you want to visit, eg Disney, universal, discovery cove

I've also used OrlandoAttractions.com a few times in the past for our tickets and would highly recommend them.

I would always recommend buying before you go. Nowadays it's generally cheaper to buy online rather than buying at the parks. You can buy the exact same tickets online as you would get at the parks and often they are a little bit cheaper when bought online.

If you don't want 14-day tickets then OrlandoAttractions.com or UndercoverTourist.com sell tickets for less days. However, you'll find that if you want to visit the parks on more than a couple of days then the 14-day tickets actually work out as the best option - even if you don't plan to use all 14 days.
