Theme park tickets
 

I live in the UK and will be visiting Orlando in November. I wanted to know if it is cheaper to buy my tickets to Disney, Universal, and Discovery Cove from the UK or wait until I get there. Any information would be gratefully received. <BR>Thanks.

When we went to Orlando we didn`t buy our tickets in the UK we waited untill we arrived at our hotel to buy them. We found that it is cheaper to purchase them over there, they can be bought at just about any shop in the International Drive area, be warned thou, there are cheap tickets available but only if you go to see a time-share.

Go to the Disney website and take a look at your options. You may want to combine a hotel stay with passes. Probably do the same with Universal! It depends on how long you will be there and how many people are going. You may be able to buy four day passes and let different people in your group use them on different days. Anyway, take a look at the cost on the websites and then shop that price.

Book Discovery Cove well in advance, no discounts. Disney tickets can be bought at Disney stores, with Magic Kingdom card, you receive small discount. We bought our tickets in advance & found it very nice to just enter parks, didn't have to wait in long lines.

PS We also visited last November, first 2 weeks of month. And found the whole state to be void of most tourists. Your visiting the best time of the year! And still very very excellent weather! Have fun!

DEFINITELY book your tickets for discovery cove NOW. Go to their website www.discoverycove.com and you can read about reservation & refund policy. This is very popular, dolphin swims are limited, and there are no discounts available. You will have a GREAT time! Discovery Cover tickets also get you into Sea World for a week - check the website for details. If you belong to automobile association and can get an American Automobile Association (triple A) membership for free there may be discounts available for Universal & other attractions like Ripley's Believe it or not, etc. Disney will have price increase later this year, you can beat it by getting tickets in advance
