Florida theme park tickets

[SDK^]

Is it possible to buy a 1 day ticket online to the Disney and Universal theme parks?
Looking around myself online I can only find sites offering 7+ day tickets, which are approx £230 per person, per park.

Is there an option to buy 1 day park entry at the park?

I last went in 2009 when the prices and exchange rate were not quite so poor

I know the parks are expensive, but I wasn't expecting to pay £2k for entry into Disney and Universal parks. Your example of $100 dollars for two adults is pocket change in comparison

I have the cash so financing isn't a concern but £2k on park tickets - wow & ouch

Unless you have really young kids, Disney's magic kingdom and Epcot centres aren't really that interesting..

My son is 5 years old

You sure that's right? The park hopper tickets cover all of the parks.

I think ours were ~£450 each for all of Disney and Universal + Sea World.

Disney on its own I think was about £280 per person.

By 'Per Park' I meant Disney = £320 and Universal = £234 each (approx).

There are 6 Disney parks included, but I only want to visit 2 of them across 2 days. I don't need a 14 day pass for 6 parks.

Also, it doesn't affect us but a child is classed a 3-9 years old. So a 10 year old pays adult prices - hmmmm

Personally I'd say 5 is a bit young for the Florida parks. Have you looked at Disney Paris?

We have been twice before - 2007 and 2009 with my partners sister's family whoose daughter was 18 months and 3 years old. She is now 10 and can remember things from her 2nd trip.

Wouldn't bother taking a really young kid to Universal though as all they really have is Minions.

I was thinking the same about Universal - there wasn't much there for young children when I went in 2009.
Islands of Adventure looks good for a 5 year old - Marvel Super Hero Island, wow

SDK^, mind if I ask which sites you have looked at for tickets?

I was just looking around the web to a get an idea of the theme park costs. Previously (2007 to 2009) the sites had 1 day ticket prices but now it's just multi park tickets open for 7+ days
We booked the holiday last September for 20th May to 4th June and I have a budget of £8k for 2 adults and 1 child, so cost isn't a concern. I was just hoping to find out the park costs before we went.

Thanks for the Forum link

So I've done some number crunching tonight :

Buying tickets at the gate for the parks we want : £1083
Buying an 11 park pass for 14 days : £1417
Saving : £334

My partner only wants to go 3 parks, so it doesn't make sense to go for the 11 park pass for me and my son, as we will never see her.

Nice, we are pretty much sorted too - Going May 20th to June 4th.

We wanted to do the Doplhin swim but the rules state minimum age of 6 and my boy is only 5
