Planning a trip to Florida and not sure what parks to visit? Check out my top picks of the best theme park tickets to buy in Orlando.

One thing that is safe to say about Orlando is that every time you visit, you will have a completely different experience. There are so many different theme parks and every year a new attraction is unveiled. The places that you visited as a couple will be different to what you will do as a family and families with young kids will want to visit different parks than families with older children. Suffice to say, deciding what theme parks to visit and what theme park tickets to buy, is a daunting task. That’s where I come in! I have done all the research for you – you can thank me later 😉.

I have searched the Attraction Tickets Direct website because I believe they offer the best value and the best variety. They include so many FREE extras that you won’t get elsewhere. One of my favourites is the free use of Fastpass+ in Disney World so you can prebook rides and spaces for the parades before you go, and skip the queues! They are also offering free Memory Maker in Disney World. You know when you get snapped on a rollercoaster and your kids beg you to buy the photo (every time)! With Memory Maker you don’t have to worry about saying no! ALL the photographs taken in the Disney Parks are included in the price of their Disney tickets below, this normally costs $199 but it is free if you purchase these Disney tickets through Attraction Tickets Direct. They have lots of other freebies too and special gifts! And note Attraction Tickets Direct send you real park tickets (not vouchers) with free delivery and no credit card fees. So no need for queues, just sail through the entrance doors 😎. With all that said, here are my top picks of the best theme park tickets to buy in Orlando!

All meals and drinks are included in the price of your ticket, so it’s a great opportunity to sit back, relax and escape the hustle and bustle of Orlando’s other theme parks. Note children must be 6 years old to swim with dolphins and pre booking is essential.
