Some Great Must Know Information for Buying Orlando Flex Tickets

Orlando Flex Tickets are a great way to purchase advance admission for several theme parks in the greater Orlando area. In this article we will take a look at some great advice on where and what flex tickets to buy, and some great general tips on usage.

In Orlando, there was a time not too long ago, when Disney was the only theme park operator offering multi-day park hopper passes. Eventually the other 5 major theme park operators in the area banded together to offer one pass which would encompass admission to most of the other major attractions in the area. The Flex Ticket comes in two basic varieties, a five park pass, and a six park pass. The parks which are covered under the five park pass are; Universal Studios Florida, Universal Studios Islands of Adventure park, Sea World, Aquatica and Wet N' Wild. If you choose the six park ticket in addition to all the parks listed above you also get to add Bush Gardens Tampa Bay to the mix. No matter what type of fun ticket you select they are good for 14 consecutive days of use. You can also park hop (go to more than one park on one day) with these passes. Prices vary but expect to pay around $200 for the pass (each). Children's tickets are generally around $40 cheaper than a normal adult pass. There are numerous online sites where you can purchase the tickets, and you will usually find the best price online as well. Some vacation packages include the Orlando Flex Ticket as part of the package.

A great way to save money with these passes is to purchase them in advance, way before you plan to go on your visit. The reason is that the 14 day limit doesn't begin until you use the ticket for the first time. So if you purchase these tickets in advance, you can hold on to them, and if the operators raise prices, you can still use your ticket on your visit. You can pay today's lower prices and use that pass to get into the parks when everyone else is paying the higher current rate.

The ticket's park hopping feature is a great advantage to purchasing single admissions to any of the parks. For example you can go and spend the morning at Sea World, then drive over to Universal and enjoy the Original Universal Park, and Universal Islands of Adventure, and still only use 1 day of your admission ticket. No other option can give you the flexibility to visit several different parks from different operators in this way.

No only do you get theme park admission but you also get admission to two water parks included. It is probably best not to park hop between water parks and theme parks because it can tend to be more of hassle, due to the change of clothes and such, but some people do it. The key here is that you can if you want to, and that is the flexibility that the Orlando Flex Ticket gives you.

One important last point, to get the most out of the Orlando Flex Tickets, you should really consider having a car available to travel around. None of the parks offer complete transportation to the competitor's parks. Time is of the essence when you are trying to park hop, so a car can't be beat for convenience. Another great perk of the pass is that you only have to pay once to park. So, for example, if you start your day at Universal Studios, and then drive to Sea World, you can show your Orlando Flex Ticket and your parking receipt from Universal, and you wont have to pay to park at Sea World. Parking is routinely $10 or more, so if you plan to park hop across several different theme parks, this can be a major savings.

The Orlando Flex Ticket is absolutely the best way to go, if you want the maximum flexibility on your Orlando Vacation. It is also a great way to stretch your vacation budget, secure in the knowledge that you can enjoy all that Orlando has to offer, without worrying about admission.
