Question WDW Park Tickets - Jargon Buster required?

Hi

We are travelling to Orlando next Easter for a family vaction from UK.

I have seen a number of sites offering Park Tickets to UK residents at discount but I don't undertstand the differences between the ticket bundles

Could anyone explain or point me in the right direction to understand the differences between the tickets.

we will be there for 2 weeks and want to see WDW + waterparks, also Universal and Sea World....

thanks

I'd say start here for Disney stuff and do some reading.

Then visit here for Universal/SeaWord

You don't mean Undercover Tourist http://www.undercovertourist.com/ do you?

I think you could get your questions answered here http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum...o_Florida.html , very quickly. Half the people on this forum are from the UK.

You may also want to sign up for the MouseSavers.com emails and access to their site. They have everything Disney and also cover Universal, Sea World, and Busch Gardens.

There's a 14 day UK ticket available that includes the WDW theme and water parks, plus Disney Quest. You can read about it here:

www.undercovertourist.com

They also sell Universal tickets, but I don't think they have any special tickets for UK residents.

I wish I could buy/use the UK 14 day ticket... it is a bargain.

thedibb.co.uk is the place to ask Disney questions for UK visitors. All the special UK-only deals will be there.

Aside from possibly breaching the T&Cs you should be able to do it - they're issued as e-vouchers that you print & exchange at the park...

True, but if they are abused... and Disney fans are famous for abusing , chances are Guest Services, where you would exchange the voucher, is already asking for proof of residency.

There once was a time you could get Florida residence passes just by asking.

I'd rather not take my chances. With the exchange rate as it is, I can get a regular annual pass for just a bit more.

I bought the UK 21 day ticket for the past Christmas Break.. I disclosed that I was Canadian, and they said anyone can buy the UK 14 and UK 21 day ticket.. its just that they can't advertise it..

@ OP.. In terms of regular prices, the UK 21 day ticket is just $8 more (last I checked) than the 10 day MYW parkhopper fun and more ticket.. So you get essentially 11 days more at the parks for $8 more.. I would definitely take advantage of it.. and www.orlandoattractions.com has a UK office you can buy the tickets from..
