jimmiemac02 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Hi everybody! I want to take a trip with my parents to Orlando for three days and go to EPCOT, Sea World, and Universal. Is there any "cheap" way to do this?
SharkTums Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 ^No. Orlando parks are expensive and you're visiting three very different ones with different ticket options.
PalmTree55 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I have seen tickets for Universal and Sea World that Include BGT as well.
SharkTums Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 ^Yes, the Flex Ticket...it is SEVERAL HUNDREDS of dollars and only pays if you'll be in town for more than a week and visit the parks multiple times. That is NOT what the Original Poster asked for.
robbalvey Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 ^ Exactly. The cheapest one you can get is $300 - http://tickets.visitorlando.com/Universal-Orlando-Orlando-Flex-Ticket/?s_kwcid=TC&gclid=CMbW_u_4lrcCFYHe4AodnxYAEQ
PalmTree55 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Sorry, I remeber seeing those, and didnt exactly know if they were extremely expensive or not. I probably suould have done more research. Thanks
blade1 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 The answer is yes, but it's a pain. I believe there are timeshare presentations you can attend to get discounted tickets. The other way is more risky, but there are plenty of people on craigslist selling tickets/access. You have to be smart enough to not get scammed that way though. Make them take you to the entrance. I was able to get into WDW and SW in 2011 for 1/2 price doing this. I believe I have a reliable source, so pm me if you need more info.
SharkTums Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 ^Surely you're not posting recommending he do something illegal and wrong!?!? Disney is really cracking down on that and it's a bad idea, not to mention morally wrong!
blade1 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 It's not illegal, especially the timeshare part. I can't say it's morally wrong either. It's like buying something on sale or doing a side job. I have another way, too, but if anyone wants to know, you will have to pm me.
CoasterFEV Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I agree that the Timeshare option is a possible (although an annoying) alternative to getting good deals on tickets to Orlando theme parks But buying tickets on Craigslist and EBay is absolutely asking for problems. There is nothing like getting your ticket scanned at the park's turnstiles - only to be led away for a 2-hour interview in Security. The Orlando theme parks are leading the nation in their undercover operations in battling illegitimate ticket re-sellers. The words "non-transferrable" are clearly printed on the back of every ticket. It's just not worth the risk to purchase tickets to the Orlando parks (or most any park) from unknown sources. I'm certainly not a moderator - but I would seriously question anyone posting on a TPR forum offering "special deals" or "reliable sources" on Orlando park tickets that you "have another way, too, but if anyone wants to know, you will have to pm me."
blade1 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I am just posting what worked for me in December of 2011. If you don't want to believe me, that's your choice. I'm just answering jimmiemac's question.
SharkTums Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 ^It's not that I don't believe you, it's just really shady and unethical.
PalmTree55 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 What Orlando parks charge to get in is unethical!!! Get over it. Bottom line is, Orlando parks charge a boatload of money. If it's too much money, don't use shady deals, are things that or frowned upon by the parks. You are asking for Major Trouble.
DanM64 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I'm all for saving, too, but I'd never purchase something that clearly is not allowed to be re-sold. I have a better idea! Join Club TPR.
