So the flights are booked, hotel done and time off work confirmed

But where do I start with tickets?

Wife wants Harry Potter and seaworld I want Jurassic park,
Kids want it all... any help would be amazing

In Disney/Florida speak that is 5 adults and 1 kid, child tickets are 3-9

although it's only about £20 cheaper for a ch than an adult anyway.

I feel for you as the sole wage earner in a family of 5 the tickets were a major expense. You need to decide which parks you are interested in and go from there.

Seems you want Universal rather than Disney so a bit cheaper, just shop around the ticket sellers on here and look at cashback sites like quidco, they had 12% cashback on Expedia for tickets but not sure if that still works.

Yeah, with those ages i would drop disney. That is £2,300 ish saved.

The Universal / IOA / Volcano bay set gives you HP and JP.

Then the Busch, Seaworld, Aquatica set covers off the other bits.

That is 6 parks.

Then if you want to try disney just do a"special event". You might be there for a halloween party.

At least that is what i would do. But you need to pick what parks you most want to do!

Orlando/central Florida does have a lot to offer over just the big parks so pick and choose. Personally, I love Pandora and Harry Potter - the worlds created in those parks are incredible.

Squeeze in a day or two at the beach to recover and save some money. All the main ticket players have some good deals and some offer sweet freebies too. See those advertised at the top of this thread.
