Of the USF resorts which one is the least expensive? I have seen people getting discounts on the hotels and i would like to know how you can get them. We are going in AUgust and we want to stay for 3 days. i would prefer to stay at an onsite hotel than offsite even if it costs more.

The Royal Pacific is the least expensive of the Universal onsite resorts and luckily for you it WILL be open in August! Posters on this board have gotten $89 and $99 a night with AP and Entertainment book rates.

The annual pass is $159.99 and the seasional is 99.95. You can get an entertainment book at www.entertainmentbook.com.

They are running a special right now. $5.00 off retail cost for a limited time.

Isn't $99.95 for the Power pass? I thought you were not entitled to hotel discounts with that one? I paid $145 for my seasonal pass, which still has blackout dates but includes the discounts.

OK, I went back a few pages. Here's the Power pass information 2 Park Power Annual Pass
This is the new "Seasonal Pass" Info. Hope this helps somebody:

I have the $99.00 pass & they still send me postcards for hotel specails. Although I find the entertainment card usually offers the best discounts.

When do the 2003 books come out -- we are planning our trip for March 03. What kind of discount on Universal hotels does the book offer. Does is offer discounts of admissions to Universal or Sea World? How about transportation discounts?
