The usual American visitor spend alot less time on vacation in Orlando, usually about 3-5 days hence why they don't need to discount tickets. Other than a free day offer here and there
Yes I can see it from that POV, once you're in, you are at their mercy pricing wise for drinks and food and merchandise.

14 day ticket purchased.

$1184 with Universal which equates to £959

£876 with ATD - nearly £100 cheaper for 14 days rather than 4 days
Universal 3-Park explorer ticket is considerably cheaper with orlandoattractions.com than ATD

Don't buy individual day tickets. Get a 3-day ticket instead.

For Universal, OrlandoAttractions.com does 3-day Park-to-Park tickets for £240. UndercoverTourist.com currently does a 4-day Base ticket for just over £205.

The 14-day tickets for Universal are only worth buying if you want to visit on more than 3 days.

However, for Seaworld, unless you're only going to one Seaworld park, the 14-day ticket is your best bet.

Ah. I hadn't realised you wanted to go to Volcano Bay as well. I missed that in your first post, sorry.

Yeah, if you want to visit all 3 parks then you might find that the 14-day 3-park Explorer is the best option (even if you only need 3 days).
