Worth knowing before you buy
No pass includes Disney or Universal
Disney tickets are about $119-229 a day and Universal from about $125, always bought separately.
The big three decide it
SeaWorld (from $59.99 online), LEGOLAND Florida and Kennedy Space Center are only on the All-Inclusive and Essentials. Without them, the Explorer is enough.
Kennedy Space Center is a full day
It's about an hour east of Orlando. Don't pair it with anything else.
ICON Park bundles three sights
The Orlando Eye, Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE sit together on International Drive.

Here's how sellers of Orlando Go City Pass and Orlando Go City Explorer Pass earn, and what it means for your Orlando trip.
SeaWorld Orlando and the other attractions sell entry to pass companies below the gate price.
Plenty of buyers never use everything they paid for. That gap is the seller's margin.
Longer passes and premium extras in Orlando raise the price faster than the value.
Other ways to save
- Go City Orlando Essentials
From $139: one of Kennedy Space Center, LEGOLAND or SeaWorld Orlando, plus 2 more from the top 15.
