**Triciamcl** · 9 Sep 18, 06:03 PM

My son is planning his first ever trip with his partner , they only plan on visiting Universal for a day (two max but more likely one day) Aquatica, Seaworld and maybe a day at a couple of Disney parks (prob AK and HS. Can you please advise the best tickets/ combo for them ? I’ve only ever bought 14 days tickets etc and not sure what would be most economical for them ?..

I remember there used to be a spreadsheet with ticket prices etc but can’t remember where to find it on the Dibb site, if it’s till exists tat is ?..

I’m sure that some of the ticket agencies are now offering deals where you can get 14 days at one set of parks with two days at the others: e.g. 14 days Universal with 2 days Disney. However, as far as I am aware the Uk agencies do restrict you to minmimum 7 days in general. I was looking to buy a one day entrance to Animal Kingdom and from what I can see I can only do this once I get to the States. It might be worth comparing entrance prices on Universal’s own site with a 14 day ticket as the difference might not be huge.

Hopefully someone else comes along with better advice but did not want to read and run.

A few days at three sets of parks is generally quite expensive as the first few days at each ‘brand’ are more expensive than subsequent days.

If he can stick to just Disney or just Universal and Seaworld there are better deals to be had.

Saying that. Orlando attractions can sell 2 day base tickets - they have 2 days at Disney + 2 days at universal for £368.
Plus £105 for Seaworld & Aquatica.
That’s £473. For 4 days. (+ 14 days Seaworld/BG/Aquatica)

Or for £346 you can get a 10 day Disney base ticket. This is why I think it’s cheaper to stick to one brand of park.

So, it looks like your son wants 2 days at Universal, 2 days at Seaworld/Aquatica (a day at each) and 2 days at Disney?

They can get 2 day tickets from places like UndercoverTourist.com or OrlandoAttractions.com or from the theme parks themselves (either online or at the park gates). Here's an example of some prices from OrlandoAttractions and UndercoverTourist:

Universal 2-Day 2-Park Base ticket = about £170
Disney 2-Day Magic Your Way Base ticket = about £186
Seaworld 2-Park 2-Day ticket = about £80
Total = £436 (about £73 a day)

Note that with the base tickets you cannot park hop - that is, you cannot go to two or more different parks on the same day. If your son wants to park hop at, say, Universal (this also allows them to ride the Hogwarts Express) then they'll need a Universal 2-Day Park Hopper ticket but that costs £204 (so, £34 more than the above).

This is the most economical way of doing what they want. But at £73 per person per day, it's not exactly cheap. As Bev says above, it would be more economical to just stick to one brand of theme parks - either Disney or Universal, or Seaworld - for 6 days.

You can buy 1 day tickets before you go, either from the American websites of the various theme parks, or from places like UndercoverTourist (or any other American ticket website).

Unfortunately, the spreadsheet is no more.

There are ticket comparison websites out there on the internet. At least one of them allows you to compare 1-Day and 2-Day ticket prices.
