Yes you can. We have booked 3park 3day (with free day, so 4 days) base ticket. Booked through Orlando Attractions. You have a week to use them from first activation and can't ride the Hogwarts express but the tickets are a bit cheaper.

The three day. 2 or 3 park tickets are as expensive as the 14 day UK tickets. The other problem is they are only valid for SEVEN DAYS after first use, the 14 day tickets of course are valid for FOURTEEN DAYS.

We only bought the 2 day park to park pass with extra day free and we saved about £100 . Not much but we only want to do 3 days so £100 is £100 saving to us
We used Undercover Tourist for our tickets.

We did this last year. We bought 2 day (non park hopping) tickets through Orlando Attractions. They have all the different options available, and as we weren't park hopping it was significantly cheaper.

We stayed 1 night in RPR (with Tesco vouchers) for express passes, so we managed to do loads in 2 days.

We're going again next year, but as we're adding Volcano Bay this time the 14 day ticket will be more cost effective.

I have the same need - we're having a 1 night stay at a Universal hotel and only intend to do the Universal parks on the day of and the day after the stay (so 2 days).
The Orlando Attractions option is reasonable but it's cheaper (and you can hop) to just buy a 2 park ticket via the US official Universal site as far as I can tell - is there anything I'm missing here to stop me doing this? Even with taxes it's cheaper and you can print your tickets so no delivery costs...

The 2 Day Park to Park ticket on the Universal site cost $282.22 including tax, the same ticket from orlandoattractions.com cost $262, £191.96, so is cheaper.

Oh how odd, I don't know what ticket I was looking at on the OA site then, I get those figures now but didn't before. Cheers.

You're welcome.

Could it be possible that you clicked on the 2 Day Park to Park ticket that included Volcano Bay on the OA site by mistake?
