Lots of people asking about park tickets to Orlando and Universal and I've been looking at options for this year and my have discovered a small glitch. The savings aren't huge but it all adds up with a family. Ebookers have a code EXPERIENCE20 for 'things to do' and it works on Orlando and Disney, although I'm not entirely sure it should!
If you book each individual ticket separately you can get £20 off each booking using the code (you can use the code as long as you spend over £100)
I've been comparing some prices and these seem really good value for 2017, especially if you are heading there soon.
So, some examples:
Child 3 Park pass to Universal £199.94 using code
Adult 3 Park pass to Universal £208.08pp
For Disney:
Adult Pass £349.45pp
Disney Child Pass £322.12

Give me a fun Orlando holiday over being bored out of my brain on a beach or by a pool any day.

Erm most people don't trek the parks all day every day this time of year......they mix park days with pool days or part days in the park with water parks, pool, shopping etc. No wonder you hated it !

You think so try trekking about a park in 30 degree heat see how much fun you think it it. Trust me I'm not alone in this thinking. Never go back. Beach holiday for us from now on.

You are definitely the wrong type of person to appreciate it then. Its a magical holiday that should be relished as not everyone can afford it.

Universal 3 Park Explorer tickets are £210.98 (adult) and £203.28 (Child) from OrlandoAttractions. Used them for our last trip and we go again next Sunday.
If you phone (Tony) they'll even let you pay just a deposit, with the balance closer to your travel date. You also get some freebies thrown in 'dine4less' and 'kidseatfree' type cards if spending over £500.
It is, however it now seems to have a time frame of when it works and doesn't. I can get it working for July, August and September but not after that. I've just tried it for the next three months.

A slight warning if buying Disney tickets from ebookers. They don't come with the correct codes for linking to MDE to book fastpasses 30days in advance. You might be able to get them by tweeting @wdwtoday but there's no guarantee

I'm confused. I priced up the 3 park pass and it worked out more expensive than Ebookers? I did check direct before posting?
This is what Universal direct are charging for an adult $335.47 which converts to more expensive at £255.24.
Same as you panda going end oct it think voucher code finishes end Aug but tickets should be valid until first usage that's what I think

I've just tried to get it to work for tickets for Knotts Berry Farm, California for late Oct and getting this message: Check-in and/or departure date is less than vouchers begin or end use date.
Perhaps there's an expiry date for when you need to book the experience by? Tempted to book the tickets for Aug instead as they're usually Any-Day tickets, and then just cancel if it goes wrong but I'm in Florida now and messing around on my phone, can see it being complicated!

Hard to say, as you're using a discount code or could get refused. I've been lucky out of the last 10 hotel bookings I've made 7 tracked and paid out and I used a code. 3 got declined. If you do them all as individual transactions you may get some track and some not.

So will they pay through quidco also - so 12% each ticket

Ebookers is my 'go to' place for booking much of my travel, I find them really competitive and often cashback tracks even with a discount code. I've built up 'platinum' membership with them by using them a lot and get many freebies with them. They are part of the same group as Expedia, Hotels.com so are reliable.

It's a 50 bones saving in comparison to a cursory search on floridatix
Will they honour it though ?
