The choice of tickets is bewildering, so be sure to buy ONLY what you need. Your holiday research and planning should start here before you buy more tickets than you can possibly get value from. Here’s a run-down off the main options. For a full guide to all the details of the ticket options, you’ll need to buy your copy of a Brit Guide to Orlando. Our first tip is to buy your theme park tickets in advance, NOT at the park gates. You will save time AND money as there is a built-in advance purchase discount.
The most popular tickets are Disney's 5- and 7-Day Premium Tickets and the 14- and 21-Day Ultimate Tickets. However, the parks do change things from time to time, so be sure to check out the latest information.
