Do You Really Mean All The Parks?

Hey Thrill Seekers,

A lot of our customers ask for a ticket that includes ‘all of the parks’ without realising how many parks there actually are. Ticket purchasing can become quite complicated when you aren’t aware of all the parks and attractions, especially if you’re a first timer. We have ‘The Big Three’, Disney, Universal and SeaWorld but there is so much more!

Let’s take a look at the big three first.

Walt Disney World actually consists of 6 parks in total, 4 theme parks, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and 2 water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. All of our Disney tickets include all 6 of these parks, we do not offer single day or single park tickets.

Disney’s Magic Kingdom is the park to explore lands of endless enchantment, where your fantasy becomes a reality.

Disney’s Epcot allows you to travel around the globe, under the sea, into outer space…and beyond!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom will amaze you, behold the magic of nature with rare animals and world-class entertainment.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios puts you smack bang in the middle of the action, take center stage in the world of movies, television, music and theater.

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is a storm ravaged tropical bay while Disney’s Blizzard Beach is a melting ski resort.

Moving onto Universal now with their 2 theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. These 2 parks are joint together using The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Express. You must have a hopper ticket to ride the Hogwarts Express, which is of course, what we offer! 🙂

Tip: Ride the Hogwarts Express both ways to encounter two completely different experiences. 😉

Universal Studios is where you can jump into the action of your favourite movies and TV shows’. At the back of the park you will find yourself in Diagon Alley.

Universal’s Islands of Adventure is where you can live the adventure. Towards the back of this park you will be in Hogsmeade.

Universal’s Volcano Bay is the newest park which is due to open on the 1st June 2017. Water is life. Life is joy.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment have a total of 4 parks including SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Discovery Cove.

SeaWorld Orlando has a mixture of thrill rides, family rides and animal interactions. SeaWorld rescue a lot of animals from the wild to treat them and then release them back into the wild.

Aquatica is SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment’s water park which is themed to the Southern Pacific and features Australian and New Zealand mascots that you can spot relating to each attraction.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is about an hour out of Orlando but so worth the journey! The 19th century African themed park is also, like SeaWorld, a mixture of the thrill and family rides as well as the animal encounters. All of the SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment is suitable for all the family.

Tip: We offer these parks at an amazing 3 parks for the price of 2 offer which entails free parking!

Discovery Cove is an amusement park where guests can completely relax with an all inclusive day and have the choice to ‘talk, touch, play and swim with bottlenose dolphins’.

There are 2 Discovery Cove packages available, 1 including 14 days into SeaWorld and Aquatica and our Ultimate package including 14 days into SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens.

Tip: You can make the most of the free parking with our Ultimate Package as well. 😉

LEGOLAND Florida & Merlin Attractions is next up. LEGOLAND Florida has their theme park and their water park – great fun for all the family. As well as Legoland, Merlin also have I-Drive 360 which is made up of The Orlando Eye, Madame Tussauds and SEALIFE Orlando.

We offer a number of different ticket options for these attractions, so if you don’t necessarily want to visit all of them, you can take your pick!

Boggy Creek Airboat Rides… What’s That All About?

Hey Thrill Seekers,

A lot of people ask me ‘What is the Boggy Creek Airboat Ride?’

So..I thought, why not write a blog about it?! Everyone loves a good blog!

We offer 2 different Boggy Creek experiences. The first one is a 30 minute airboat ride which takes you that little bit close to the wildlife in the swamp! As if all the animals at Animal Kingdom and Busch Gardens weren’t enough!? But these airboat rides are just that little bit extra including views of exotic birds, turtles and the Florida Alligators! The difference is, these animals are all in their natural habitat so you can see how they really live day to day!

The airboat ride will last for about 30 minutes, reaching speeds of 45 mph. Going through a swamp at 45 mph is pretty good going if you ask me, my car has trouble reaching that on a motorway! A lot of people have said it’s a surprisingly smooth ride considering. Carrying approximately 17 people, it’s a fair size airboat and of course it’s gonna get a bit noisy but do not fear as they will provide you with hearing protection.

If you’re worried about not being able to swim, the chances of you falling in are very slim although everyone is given a life jacket to wear throughout. If that wasn’t enough to boost your confidence, all of the captains graduated at the U. S. coastal guard sea school so they will make you all feel at ease.

Boggy Creek is open 365 days a year 09:00 – 17:50. You won’t need to worry about booking a date or time for your airboat ride as they just simply take place every 30 minutes. Makes sense really! It’s definitely a must when visiting Orlando!

Now, what about the Boggy Creek 1 Hour Airboat Night Tour?!

Not only have you got the opportunity to see the Florida Alligators, but you can look out for their red eyes in the darkness! The only light you will see is the captain’s helmet torch and the moon if you’re really lucky!

The most important difference to remember between the 30 minute and the 1 hour airboat ride is that this one needs to be booked in advance! You can book your slot on our website when you book the tickets, so it’s pretty easy! But remember, you must be at the Boggy Creek 30 minutes before your allocated time slot.

For those of you who can’t get enough thrills the Boggy Creek 1 Hour Airboat Night Tour is for you. Imagine spotting Florida Alligators in their natural habitat, looking for their red eyes in darkness the only light coming from the Captains Miner helmet. it doesn’t get much more real than an Airboat ride at Boggy Creek Orlando.

So why not give it a go? You will never have the experience more than once on these airboat rides. It’s so unique, you never know what you’re going to see!
