WOW - did I mess that up!!! Just realized it as I was posting. I purchased the 1st one, now I just noticed the 2nd one would have been free for our DD, she is 4. I wonder if I could have just done that for her and saved the money on her ticket. All Well.....too late now.

UPDATE:
The free kids ticket is with the purchase of an adult ticket. Either way I should have just done that for all of us. 2 adults and 1 free kid same price as the 3 other tickets.

We're heading down to Williamsburg next week. I got these tickets a few weeks ago. You print out a paper with a bar code that allows you to go right up to the ticket window. It's a great price. Spend two days at one or both parks and you've paid for the tickets!

I got a similar deal last year for a family trip to Williamsburg for 7 of us. My deal also included Colonial Williamsburg.

There are a couple of different options on the Busch Gardens website. One of them is a 7-day consecutive pass to Busch Gardens, Water Country, Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown. I believe it includes parking for the two parks. It's a great deal if you want to see all of these things. But, IMO, it's alot to do in a very short time, giving you very little time to relax and enjoy your stay. Of course, if you don't expect to ever get back to the area, this would probably be a good option. For people who only want to visit the historic sites, there is the Triangle pass, which admits you into Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.

We just did Williamsburg last week. I bought the Bounce tickets (the $99 ones) as they include parking fees. The bar code paper/voucher you print off can be read at the kiosks (no matter how bad you fold the paper!) and it prints out the tickets. One thing to be aware of is WHERE you buy the tickets ie: if from Busch site then you MUST redeem the voucher at either Busch Garden or Water Country, NOT at CW. As it didn't make a difference to us, we drove straight to Busch Gardens, got the tickets, and then left to go check in at the timeshare. But it can matter to others depending on your schedule. If you buy off the CW site you can redeem the voucher at CW Visitor Center.

If you are planning on going to all 4 Jametown/Yorktown sites, the Four Park ticket is cheapest. And you don't have to buy that one ahead. Go to whichever place first, buy the regular admission ticket and then you can "upgrade" at the next place to get the package savings. We planned on doing that but ended up spending "too much" time at Jamestowne and didn't make it to Yorktown at all. By doing the upgrade route, I didn't waste any money by paying for Yorktown and not going... or rushing thru Jamestowme just to get to Yorktown.

Buying the heavily promoted 7 sites pass for about $171 per adult will actually cost you about $32 MORE than buying the Bounce and Four Park passes... and you get exactly the same coverage.

I ended up calling BG to see if they would cancel the two park ticket so I could get the bounce ones. Ended up being a couple dollars cheaper and picked up Colonial (because kid under 6 free).

Thanks for posting that it included parking. I didn't even realize it and would have paid without even thinking about it!
