We are a group of 5 who would like to book our time and tickets ahead to enter the Uffizi Gallery, Academia, and the Duomo Dome in late July 2019. The official sites are a bit confusing and seem to not allow this to be done so early.
How early are we permitted to make these bookings and have all in place? I don't think that we will all require the Firenze card, but does this make everything that much easier?

Are you using this site for the Accademia and Uffizi?
http://www.b-ticket.com/b-ticket/uffizi/default_eng.aspx
I can't click all the way through to a dummy purchase but it does look like you can buy tickets for July. You may not be clicking through to the calendar? For instance, for the Uffizi, click "Buy your tickets" under "GALLERIA DEGLI UFFIZI" on the link I gave you above -
Then click "Galleria degli Uffizi" under "Events"
Then click the "date" calendar that comes up on the left.
Click forward on the calendar to the month you want and choose your desire date, and then desired entry time
If you are an adult, you want to choose the "Intero/Full" selection for 24,00 € pp.
This ticket is ONLY for the Uffizi: the more expensive "Intero Cumulativo 3 giorni" selection is a combo ticket for the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti and Giardino di Boboli .
Repeat the above process for the Accademia from the same link b-ticket link. Adult tickets are showing as 16,00 € PP but could be higher if there's a special exhibit: no way for me to check without your dates.
For the Duomo:

An 18-euro adult ticket covers the entire complex but yes, you have to make an advance reservation to climb the dome. Yes, it looks to be much too early to pre-order tickets or make that reservation. I'd keep an eye on the site and jump when July tickets become available. You can make your dome reservations at the same time.
If these are the only attractions you wish to see - and DO make good use of that Duomo combo ticket: the baptistry is stunning and the museum (closed when we were there) is supposed to be excellent! - then the 85€ Firenzecard is not worth the price.

I’m glad you asked this question. I’m also looking at purchasing tickets. I assume for children you simply add the “free” tickets?
