    Since we were going to all three parks this time, buying a package ticket was a great deal. You can also freely travel between Islands of Adventure and Florida! If you can't get enough of your favorite rides, you can always go back for more! Unlimited entry is so cool!!! I'll definitely buy this way next time 😍😍😍

    I bought it for the second time. I can enter and exit different parks at will within two days. After buying it, I link the ticket to the app, and the ticket card issued before can continue to be used. It is very convenient

    If you're visiting Orlando, this is a worthwhile attraction. The journey from Disney World takes about an hour and fifteen minutes, and the round-trip fare for a four-seater private car is about US$190. You'll see a lot of space-themed equipment and experiences.

    Love the lion king show, safari and the avatar ride! Not too crowded when visited in September. Avatar queue was insane though, queued for about 2hours. Food options limited and not that great. Would be great if they have more finger food and drink carts around. Such as hotdogs, burgers, nuggets nacho fries etc. Another perplex point is why are there no umbrellas for sale? Was rainy season could really do with some umbrellas. Great revenue source for the park too!
