1. Your best bet is to buy annual passes for Disney. That way you can get free parking also. But you can also go anytime you want and you save money.
2. if you know how many days you will spend at WDW and how many at universal, then i suggest buying ticket packages. i dont know how universals works but lets say youre doing 4 days at WDW and 3 days at universal id buy a package of 4 day WDW park hopper passes. it allows you to park hop throughout the day so you can start at onepark and end at another one later or. it also allows you to go to wdw in the mornign to go universal in the afternoon (with one of their tickets) and come back to another disney park that night (with the same disney ticket you used that morning). have fun!
3. You won't do disney and universal in 7 days. It depends what sort of person you and those who are going wth you are. If you love rides and thrills definately do universal. If you have young children with you disney is great. The water parks are great for everyone. If you have a mixture of people going or you want to get a little of everything (Because everywhere has something for everyone) how about this. Day 1 - Magic Kingdom Day 2 - Animal Kindom or Epcot Day 3 - MGM Studios Day 4 - Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach Day 5 - Universal Studios Day 6 - Islands of Adventure Day 7 - Travel (Or one you have missed) Personally I would choose animal kingdom because it has great rides and the animals can be quite educating if you also like that kind of thing. Typhoon lagoon would be my other choice because of the awesome wave pool and it has some good slides as well. This will fit in best possible Disney and Universal. Try getting a Two-Day Hopper for Universal. I'm not sure about disney if they do a three or four day hopper but a 7 day hopper pass wouldnt be a bad deal if you wanted to go to say blizzard beach or epcot on the seventh day or even if one afternoon/night you fancy going on that great ride again or to see a firework show. This is just a rough guide, theres Busch Gardens and Seaworld too if you want to do them. Also there is wet n wild as another waterpark option but I just think it is not nearly as good as the others.
4. I would recommend a package through Disney World. If you book a room and a Magic Your Way ticket together, you save money. You can book the room for seven days, and get seven days worth of tickets added on for a good price. You can also get the Disney Dining Plan added on for $39 a night, which entitles each person in the room on the plan to a snack, a counter service meal (fast food) and a table service meal per night - it can save you alot of money. I would spend all seven days at Disney, because even with seven days you won't be able to see everything. If you have accomodations, I recommend the Magic Your Way ticket option, which costs less per day the longer you stay. A one day, one park adult ticket to Disney is $68. A seven day, one park a day adult ticket is $210, which is only $30 a day. All park entries must be used within fourteen days of the original use, so if you buy four park entries on the 1st, you must use them all by the 14th or they expire. Universal has a two day, two park ticket for about $86, available on www.universalorlando.com. You MUST buy this ticket prior to arriving at the gate - the special is presale only. I spent a day and a half at Universal and Islands of Adventure and was bored. Two days at Universal and four or five at Disney is long enough to see most of the major attractions.
