    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

    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 😍😍😍

    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.

    It was quite fun inside, but probably because of the weather caused by the tornado, many outdoor activity venues were closed. On the day we went there, there were many tourists and the queues took more than 40 minutes to enter. It was raining heavily in the middle and there was no place to stay. It was soaking wet, but it is still worth going with children.
